Direk Mario berates Baron Geisler

May 28, 2009

THE latest development in the Yasmien Kurdi-Baron Geisler controversy is that Yasmien will no longer sue Baron after she filed a formal complaint against him at the PNP last Monday. In “24 Oras,” Yasmien said she has no plans of making a big issue out of it. “Sabi ko nga sa lawyer ko, tigilan na po natin,” she says. “Okay na po na nakuha ko ‘yung seguridad. ‘Yun lang ang kailangan ko. Hindi ko na kailangang mag-down pa ng tao. Nag-sorry na po si Baron sa text. Pero mas maganda po siguro kung magbibigay po siya ng public apology.”

She says she’s willing to work with Baron again. “Basta after the take, tantanan na niya ako, wala na ‘yung anything. As of now, tama na ‘yung napa-blotter ko siya, pero kung uulitin niya at wawalanghiyain na naman niya ako, tutuluyan ko na siya ng demanda.”

Those who’ve seen Baron’s misbehavior on the set of “Suspetsa” say that Yasmien has a big chance of winning a case against him as there are many witnesses and what Baron did was even recorded on a cellphone.

A source says it’s Baron’s manager, Director Maryo de los Reyes, who requested Yasmien (his star in “Saan Darating ang Umaga”) not to push through with the case. Yasmien, out of respect for the director, decided not to sue anymore.

Earlier, it was reported that Baron was terminated from his role in “Suspetsa,” which was to be expected since Yasmien is GMA’s regular contract star whereas Baron was just accommodated to be a guest star because his current manager requested GMA management to give him a chance. It’s said Direk Maryo already gave Baron a dressing down. “Hindi mo na ako binigyan ng kahihiyan?” he reportedly told Baron. “Ako pa naman ang nagrekomenda sa iyo tapos ganyan ang ginawa mo.”

Baron has apologized to Yasmien, but in the eyes of those who saw him sexually harrassing Yasmien, the damage has already been done.
