Kapamilya actresses Sue Ramirez and Maris Racal criticized those who edited and spread a photo of them online. The photo made it look like they were nude beside each other.
Singer Maris Racal took to Twitter, Jan. 26, to blast the fake nude photo of her and actress Sue Ramirez now spreading online.
“There’s an edited photo of Sue and I spreading online,” said Racal.
“Kung sino man ang nag-edit nun, wala kang utak. Itigil na ang pambababoy ng katawan ng mga babae. Pag-aari namin ‘to. 2021 na, manyak ka pa rin? Magbago na.”
Meanwhile, Sue Ramirez re-posted the original photo on her Instagram account to disprove the fake photo. She first uploaded it in August 2019. It shows her and Racal wearing a bikini while apparently sunbathing during a resort trip.
“Repost ko lang ulit ‘tong mga picture na ‘to para hindi kayo natatanga sa fake news,” she wrote. “Ewan ko ba kung anong dahilan at pinuputakte niyo kami ng ganito.” Sue wrote.
“’Wag ko lang mahanap ang nagpapakalat ng kung ano-anong katarantaduhan na to. Ayoko na sanang magsalita pero ginagambala niyo ang katahimikan ng buhay ko. Umayos kayo.”
“At ‘wag tanga pls. ‘Wag basta bastang naniniwala sa mga nakikita online. Hindi kayo pinalaking uto uto. Pls lang. Sumosobra na kayo. Sa mga nakakatanggap ng picture, siguro naman may delikadesa at respeto kayo enough to know na dapat hindi na kumalat pa ang pambababoy na ito,” said Ramirez on her Instagram post.
Sue then later posted the edited photo of her with Maris Racal, asking for help to track the person behind the circulating edited photo.
“Sa 8.1M followers ko, nakikiusap ako sainyo. Tulungan niyo ako na matapos na ang kulturang ito. Kulturang bumababoy sa mga kababaihan. Kulturang MAPANIRA. Kulturang KASUKLAM-SUKLAM.”
“This can happen to anyone. Sa nakakaalam kung san nagsimula ito, pls contact me through DM. Help me get to the bottom of this.”
“Hindi na tama ito. Masyado na kayong nawiwili sa mga panggagago niyo sa ‘min. Ayoko nang manahimik. Abusado kayo.” she said.
ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, the talent agency handling both Ramirez and Racal, also issued a statement Tuesday condemning the photo’s manipulation and distribution. They also threatened legal action against those who distribute the manipulated image.
