MAINE Mendoza’s mother Mary Ann Mendoza filed a complaint at the National Bureau of Investigation’s Anti-Cybercrime Division on Dec. 28, for the arrest of the people linking her daughter to an alleged scandal which circulated online recently.
“Hindi siya makatarungan. Lumagay man kayo sa amin bilang magulang, siguro mararamdaman niyo ‘yong sakit na nararamdaman naming pamilya niya,” Mary Ann said in an interview with ABS-CBN News.
The NBI is now tracing the perpetrators of the said video.
Last week, Maine released a statement via Twitter denying that she is the woman in the fake video.
“Wtf???? Sobrang kamukha ko kinilabutan ako pero hindi ako to!” the actress posted.
Her management All Access Artists, Inc. also issued a statement regarding the matter.
“All Access to Artists, Inc. and Ms. Mendoza hereby inform the public that the said video is fake. It has been digitally manipulated using deepfake technology. Ms. Mendoza is not involved in the said video and neither does she participate in the making of pornographic and other explicit materials,” the management stated.
“The public is warned not to post, share or otherwise circulate the video. We will not hesitate to take appropriate legal action against any person circulating the same. We intend to hold those individuals criminally and civilly liable for the damage caused to Ms. Mendoza,” it added. (Push)
