Viva Artists Agency (VAA) declared its support for its talent, actress Debbie Garcia, who reportedly plans to sue fellow actress Barbie Imperial following an October 28 encounter.

“On November 2, 2022 (Wednesday), Debbie will file a complaint against the other party with the assistance of her attorney,” it stated.

“VAA thinks that Debbie was subjected to physical and verbal abuse during the incident in question,” it added, urging the public to cease sharing footage of the incident on social media and “let the case to be resolved legally.”

Debbie filed three accusations against Barbie with the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office, according to Pep: minor physical injury, grave vocal defamation, and grave slander.
