THE ADVENT OF new technology has brought advantages and disadvantages to the lives of people especially public people. With new media like the internet and cellular phones, we can inform, educate, entertain and communicate faster. However, it is also open to abusive practices like sex video and photo scandals. Marami na ang mga naging biktima ng ganitong uri ng eskandalo lalo na ang mga celebrities. Since they are public figures, hindi maiiwasang pagpiyestahan ang ganitong mapanirang eskandalo. Ilang tao na ba ang lumuha, nagpalitan ng maaanghang na salita at nagsampa ng demanda dahil dito?
Matatandaan na ang sikat na singer at aktor na si Edison Chen ay naugnay noong 2008 sa isang sex scandal when his sexually explicit nude photos with famous female actresses became widely circulated on the internet. Edison eventually announced his indefinite departure from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. He talked about the sex photo scandal and how he endured criticisms from the public, the media and from the individuals affected by the scandal last year in an interview with TalkAsia on CNN.
At sino ba naman ang makalilimot sa sex video scandal na kinasangkutan ni Hayden Kho?
Johan Santos, Pinoy Big Brother Double Up’s 4th Big Placer, is now on the hot seat because he is allegedly involved in a sex video scandal. Sabi sa tsismis, the young man is said to be playing with himself. Mariing pinabulaanan ni Johan ang kumakalat na video. Hindi raw siya ang lalaking nasa video.
His manager, Leo Bukas, sent a text message to Jobert Sucaldito denying the video scandal. Binasa ni Jobert ang kanyang text sa The Buzz, “Personal na tiningnan ni Johan sa internet ang nude photos at malaswa raw niyang video pero sa halip na magalit ay natawa na lang siya habang pinapanood ito. Maaaring kahawig niya ang lalaking nasa video at larawan pero it’s very obvious na hindi siya iyon. Makikita ang pagkakaiba nila ng lalaki kapag pinanood nang buo ang video. Ipinagtataka lang ni Johan kung ano ang motibo ng taong nagpapakalat ng video. Handa naman siyang harapin ang mga ganitong intriga.”
Sa kabila ng tsismis ay nagpapasalamat pa rin si Johan dahil sa walang sawang suporta ng mga fans sa kanya. Masigla ngayon ang kanyang career and he is currently seen in the afternoon series Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Love Me Again.
