NADINE Lustre and her legal counsel, Atty. Lorna Kapunan, are not bothered by the breach of contract suit filed by Viva Artists Agency (VAA) against the actress stemming from her decision to terminate her management contract.
“We welcome the complaint and we are confident that the truth will come out about VAA being predatory, oppressive and abusive not only of Nadine but its many other talents,” Kapunan said.
VAA alleged that Lustre, who unilaterally revoked her management contract last January, violated her “valid and existing agency and management agreement by contracting independently with advertisers, promoters, and other third parties, in utter disregard of the exclusivity of her contract.”
It also reiterated that Lustre remains its exclusive artist until June 2029, based on valid contractual agreements.
Kapunan, however, disputed Viva’s stand and insisted it was the entertainment group that should be sued for breach of contract.
“The contract is an Agency contract and Nadine is the Principal – and it is the right of the Principal to terminate the Agent when it is not performing its commitments under the Agency Agreement,” Kapunan said. (ABS-CBN)
