Celebrities support Liz Uy with #StoptheHate
Anne Curtis and Rhian Ramos speak up about the Liz Uy's complaints against 'Fashion Pulis'

 

MANILA, Philippines – After Liz Uy filed complaints of online libel and grave slander against Michael Sy Lim of Fashion Pulis, she gave him a message: “#StoptheHate.”

Liz’s complaints were about Mike’s posts on his celebrity gossip blog and tweets about her supposedly letting actress Maine Mendoza (better known as Yaya Dub of Eat Bulaga) wear clothes that have been worn before. Liz is Maine’s stylist for commercials, endorsements, and shoots. (READ: Liz Uy files libel, slander complaint vs Fashion Pulis: 10 things to know)

Liz’s lawyer, Lorna Kapunan, said that Mike’s posts on social media affected Liz’s reputation and credibility as a stylist.

After she filed her complaints on November 9, Liz posted the following message on her social media accounts:

As a former fashion editor, I was trained to uphold FAIR and RESPONSIBLE journalism at all times. When I transitioned into celebrity styling and accidentally became a public figure myself, I learned to embrace that being scrutinized by the public is part and parcel of that position. However, sometimes things can be taken too far and place me in a bad light, discrediting my hard work, my team, and my styling company. I am not the first victim—many others have chosen to remain silent. I could have done the same, but in the end, I realized that if we always let him get away with cyber bullying, then he will continue to propagate untruthful claims and malicious gossip on his blog and social media accounts. Thank you to everyone who has expressed their support. I am fighting this battle not just for myself, but for every single person—celebrity and otherwise—who has been bashed relentlessly and unfairly. #StopTheHate

Bianca Gonzalez-Intal also declared her support for the stylist.


 

Actress Rhian Ramos shared her own experiences with online gossip and blind items and gave her opinion on some things Mike said in a previous interview with Rappler.


 

On November 9, Kapunan said to the press, “Nung binasa namin ‘tong story na ‘to [tungkol sa gown at jacket ni Maine] apparently ang daming sympathizers because marami nang siniraan si sir Michael, who fashions himself as a police (When we read this story [about Maine’s gown and jacket] apparently there are many sympathizers because sir Michael, who fashions himself as a police, has spread malicious information about a lot of people).”
