Nadia Montenegro sues Richard Gutierrez


MANILA, Philippines – The Nadia Montenegro-Annabelle Rama legal debacle has just expanded to include the latter’s actor-TV host son, Richard Gutierrez.

According to an abs-cbnnews.com report posted on Feb. 22, Montenegro filed a harassment and unjust vexation complaint against Gutierrez before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office earlier that day.

This, as Montenegro claimed, was because of the “hurtful” text messages she allegedly received recently from the other.

Addressing the actor, Montenegro said, “I can get a hundred people who text you with that number. It’s your line. Stop… Don’t deny it.

“Ang anak ko na nga ‘yong binastos, ako pa ang tinext ng kabastusan ni Richard," she claimed. "Too much na ang bullying.”

Just early this week, it was reported that Montenegro intends to lodge a complaint to GMA-7 against Gutierrez after he purportedly failed to mention her daughter Ynna Asistio’s name in the introductory spiels for a performance on “Party Pilipinas.”

As quoted in a Feb. 21 article by Bulletin Entertainment, Gutierrez’s spiel went, “So guys humanda na kayong ma-in love kina Kylie (Padilla), Janine (Gutierrez), Lexi (Fernandez), Hanna (Flores) and Wynwyn (Marquez).”

Rama immediately defended her son, telling “TV Patrol” on Wednesday, “Wala sa idiot board [‘yung pangalan ni Ynna]. Wala namang pangalan ‘yung babanggitin niya, ‘di ba? Kaya ba’t siya mag-waste of time sa mga starlet? Hindi dapat gano’n.”

Prior to this latest brouhaha, Rama said that she plans to file a libel complaint against Asistio, who allegedly called her a “bugaw” (pimp) in media reports

The young actress has already denied the accusation, but said that she’s ready if the talent manager would indeed take matters to court.

Asistio remains one of Rama’s wards, along with Gutierrez.
