Actress Julia Barretto went to the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) office Friday as accompanied by her mother, Marjorie, to file a cyber libel case against former broadcaster Jay Sonza who prior alleged she is pregnant with Gerald Anderson’s baby.
Sonza made the claim in a Facebook post last Sept. 21.
An excerpt read: “Dito muna tayo sa mga balitang may katotohanan, may pag-iibigan, may pinagsaluhang nakakapanginig ng laman at higit sa lahat, nagbunga.”
“Napatunayan nina Visoy (visayan tisoy) Gerald Anderson at anak nina Dennis Padilla at Marjorie Barretto na si Julia Barreto na kapuwa hindi sila baog.
“After months of love lockdown and ESQ (exact sex quadrant) – may nabuo sa sinapupunan ni Julia.
Sonza retracted his claim on Sept. 23, saying, “Binabawi ko ang aking masayang pagbati. Happy & excited kasi ako kapag may nabibiyayan ng Buhay. Pasensiya na kung napaaga ang aking Congratulations. Itatabi ko na lang muna iyong regalo ko sa kanila.”
Barretto is still bent on pursuing the case, nonetheless.
She said, “I am pursuing this case because the statements made by Mr. Sonza are untrue and irresponsible.”
“The widespread reposting of the news based on his post caused distress to me and my family. I don’t want to take this matter lightly.
“Mr. Sonza, and all those who publish these reckless and baseless posts, must be held accountable for their actions so that they think twice before claiming things as fact.”
