Pauleen Luna’s Parents Defend Vic Sotto
Chat Luna – The mother of Pauleen Luna couldn’t help but speak out about the cyber libel case filed by her son-in-law, Vic Sotto, against director Darryl Yap, who is behind the controversial film The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.
Chat shared her and her husband’s dismay, emphasizing their close relationship with Vic. She stated, “Unfair talaga sa kanya na nadadamay siya sa ganun ng Darryl Yap na yan! Hindi po ganun si Vic, Kuya.”
When the issue surfaced and the film’s teaser quickly spread, Pauleen advised her parents not to react or post about the harsh comments they encountered online. However, Pauleen’s father, Gene Luna, couldn’t resist responding to some Facebook comments, especially those involving threats towards Pauleen.
Chat also expressed concern for her grandchildren, Tali and Mochi, who are indirectly affected by the controversy. “Kawawa naman sina Tali at Mochi na nadadamay sila. Wala silang kamuwang-muwang, Kuya,” she said, underscoring the family’s emotional toll.
Despite the situation, Pauleen’s mom stressed their reliance on prayer, trusting that God would continue to guide them through the ordeal. She affirmed their support for Vic, whom they know to be a good man. She highlighted their pride in him, stating, “We’re proud of our son-in-law Vic Sotto.” Chat also mentioned past accusations against Vic, suggesting they were mere publicity stunts orchestrated by the late Dr. Rey dela Cruz, Pepsi Paloma’s former manager, whom she described as untrustworthy.
Reflecting on Vic’s character, Mrs. Chat described him as kind and respectful, particularly towards women, contradicting the public’s perception due to his stage persona. She recalled Vic’s candidness with Pauleen about his past, including the controversial issue involving Pepsi Paloma.
At a recent press conference, Vic Sotto described himself as a reserved and shy individual, often listening rather than talking, a trait he developed as the youngest among four brothers. He thanked the media for respecting his privacy during the event.
