PALABAN ang kampo ni Nadine Lustre at ang legal counsel nitong si Atty. Lorna Kapunan sa pahayag nitong hindi sila bothered sa breach of contract suit filed by Viva Artists Agency (VAA) laban kay Nadine.
“We welcome the complaint and we are confident that the truth will come out about VAA being predatory, oppressive and abusive not only of Nadine but its many other talents,” naunang pahayag ni Atty. Kapunan sa ABS-CBN News pagkatapos malaman ang pagsampa ng reklamo ng VAA laban kay Nadine sa Quezon City Regional Trial Court.
Kinontra rin ni Atty. Kapunan ang VAA at dapat daw, ito ang idemanda ng breach of contract. Binanggit nito ang sinabi ng Viva na hanggang June 2029 pa valid ang kontrata ni Nadine sa VAA.
“The contract is an Agency contract and Nadine is the Principal-and it is the right of the Principal to terminate the Agent when it is not performing its commitments under the Agency Agreement,” pahayag pa ng abogado.
Binanggit din ni Atty. Kapunan na simula ng 2020, si Nadine na ang nagma-manage sa kanyang sarili.
“Nadine is now self-managing which she has every right to do especially during this difficult pandemic. It is her prerogative to continue to earn without VAA getting an unconscionable amount in agency fees which it does not deserve. This is not
Nadine’s fight alone it is for all talents/artists who are similarly situated,” dagdag ni Atty. Kapunan.
