Amidst showbiz furor on the massive participation of entertainers in the “Trillion Peso March” in EDSA and “Baha sa Luneta Laban na sa Korapsyon” in Rizal Park over the weekend in defiance of politicians who pocketed kickbacks on government transactions with private contractors and heads of various agencies, 90s singer and actress Lindsay Custodio is making headlines in a legal ordeal.
Lindsay, a popular entertainer and a former mainstay of ABS-CBN shows, is facing a warrant of arrest due to a cyberlibel case.
And her accuser is a person who had a personal relationship with her.
In a press statement, the Cebu City Regional Trial Court Branch 11 said it has issued a warrant of arrest against Custidio in relation to a cyberlibel case filed by her estranged husband, businessman Frederick Cale.
The case is rooted in allegations of online defamation, with Cale claiming that Custodio made false and damaging remarks about him on social media.
His legal team, however, strongly dismissed the claims, insisting that this is not about showbiz drama but about responsibility for words said in public.
“This is about accountability, not showbiz intrigue,” Cale’s legal team declared in a statement.
“We answered and faced the said allegations in the right venue and proper forum which is our Court, not the Social Media court. The court has spoken and let due process take its course. We trust in our justice system, that justice will be served and the truth will prevail in the end.”
Police have yet to confirm if the warrant has been served. Updates will be reported as soon as new developments arise.
