R*pe Threat Sent Online Pushes Klea Pineda To Pursue Legal Battle
KLEA PINEDA – What started as a shocking social media message has now led Klea Pineda to consider legal action against a netizen.
Trigger Warning: Mention of r*pe
Kapuso actress Klea Pineda is preparing to file a case against a netizen who allegedly sent her a threatening and offensive message involving r*pe.
According to a report aired on “24 Oras” on Tuesday, June 9, Klea said she has decided not to let the incident pass without taking action. The actress emphasized that while she rarely speaks out about issues on social media, the severity of the message pushed her to respond.
Klea Pineda, “Minsan lang ako magsalita sa social media. This time parang hindi ko na pinalagpas kasi sobra-sobra na ‘yon.”
Klea shared that her family has also encouraged her to pursue legal action regarding the matter.
“‘Yong family ko nagpu-push na kailangang may gawin kaming action about it,” she added.
The controversy first came to light in May when the actress posted about the incident through her Facebook MyDay. In her post, she shared a screenshot of the sensitive and disturbing message allegedly sent to her by a netizen.
The message read: “[D]apat sayo nirar*pe e kaso pati rapist aayaw asim mo e,”
The post quickly drew reactions from supporters and social media users, many of whom condemned the threatening remark and expressed concern for the actress’s safety and well-being.
A day after Klea publicly shared the incident, Sparkle, the talent management arm of GMA Network, released a statement expressing support for its artist. The agency made it clear that it does not tolerate acts rooted in hatred, harassment, or intimidation.
Sparkle also reaffirmed its commitment to protecting its talents, including Klea, from abusive behavior both online and offline. The agency’s statement highlighted the importance of maintaining a safe environment for artists and standing against any form of threat or abuse.
The incident has once again sparked discussions about online harassment and the responsibility of social media users to practice respect and accountability in digital spaces. As Klea moves forward with possible legal action, many supporters continue to stand by her and call for stronger measures against online threats and abuse.
