BREAKING news nitong Biyernes ang pagsasampa ng demanda ng Viva Artists Agency o VAA kay Nadine Lustre sa Quezon City Regional Trial Court o QCRTC dahil daw sa “continuous violation” sa kanyang kontrata.
Sabi ng statement na ipinadala ng Viva sa media:
- Nadine violated her valid and existing ‘agency and management contract
- Lustre contracted independently with advertisers, promoters, and other third parties, disregarding her exclusive contract with Viva. The lawsuit filed seeks to stop Nadine from continuously violating her ‘agency and management contract with VAA.
Ayon sa legal counsel ng VAA na si Atty. Chino Roxas: “Ms. Lustre should honor and respect the sanctity of contracts and that third parties are put on notice that any direct dealings with Ms. Lustre for her services as a performing artist or endorser shall be in violation of Ms. Lustre’s contract with VAA.”
Pumirma ng 5-year, exclusive contract sa VAA si Nadine noong 2009 at na-renew ang kontrata na ‘yun noong 2014 for another 10 years, kaya hanggang sa June 30, 2024. The same contract was renewed for another 5 years in 2015, kaya naurong sa June 29, 2029 ang exclusive contract ni Nadine.
Dagdag ng statement, “During this period VAA developed, built, and nurtured Nadine’s career to make her one of the most sought after artists in the Entertainment industry.”
Binanggit ng Viva ang mga projects na ibinigay nila kay Nadine from TV shows in partnership with ABS-CBN, recording under Viva Records, and movies mula sa launching movie nila ni James Reid na Diary ng Panget.
“Despite her continued success as an exclusive artist of VAA for almost a decade, Nadine still chose to violate and disregard her contract with VAA,” ayon pa sa statement ng VAA.
Maalaalang January this year, Nadine announced that she terminated her contract with VAA and she was now “self-managed.” Tinawag ng kampo ni Nadine na ‘oppresive’ ang contract ng singer-actress sa VAA and they welcomed any legal action ng VAA, kaya tuloy na sa Korte ang usaping ito.
Ang sabi ng netizens, kaya gustong umalis sa VAA ni Nadine dahil gusto lang sundan ang ex-boyfriend niyang si James na umalis din sa VAA noong 2019. In fact, nag-release si Nadine ng album under James label na Careless Music.
Abangan natin ang mga kaganapan ng kasong ito na isinampa ng VAA kay Nadine at kung makakaapekto ba sa career ni Nadine.
