Nadine Lustre files a complaint against social media harassment ‘in response to the relentless and malicious attacks she has endured’
MANILA, Philippines – Actress Nadine Lustre will have a powerful ally in her corner as she pursues legal action against what she claims as a social media assault.
Incoming Representative Leila de Lima backed the star actress’ pursuit of justice, saying in a statement that “we at ML party list express full support for Nadine Lustre as she files a complaint for violation of the Safe Spaces Act in response to the relentless and malicious attacks she has endured.”
“These platforms are being used to dismantle meaningful discourse and replace it with anger and disinformation,” the former senator’s statement continued. “We believe in freedom of expression. But this freedom should not be used against truth, dignity, and democracy.”
Lustre was among De Lima’s top endorsers in the recent midterm elections, where ML or Mamamayang Liberal ranked 14th out of 52 declared winners and paved the way for De Lima’s rousing political return after seven years of incarceration engineered by the Duterte administration.
“Expression becomes dangerous when it is driven by disinformation and personal malice. Much of what is being said on social media today is not considered an opinion. These are part of a deliberate effort to harass, discredit, and instill fear,” De Lima continued.
“Make no mistake: we will push back against this kind of behavior. This is unacceptable. This should not be overlooked. Thank you very much, Nadine, for your courage and determination. With every step you take, the fight for a humane, just, and democratic society grows stronger.” – Rappler.com
