Controversial
actor
Baron Geisler said that he
intends to take legal action
against the uploader of
the viral video that showed
him assaulting a student
filmmaker of the University
of the Philippines.
“The video was taken
out of context, and be-
cause of that, I plan to
consult my lawyers for
the possible liabilities of
the person who uploaded
the video, whose apparent
intention is to exploit my
already damaged repu-
tation,” Geisler said in a
statement furnished to In-
terAksyon Monday by ALV
Talent Circuit, which man-
ages his career.
In an interview with
News5’s
MJ
Marfori,
Geisler also clarified that
the video was not staged
as part of a social experi-
ment as many netizens
had speculated.
“Pumitik lang po ta-
laga ako. How I wish na
social experiment po siya.
It would be a dream kasi
maganda sanang plano
po iyon eh but dahil dito
parang ako po iyong nasi-
sira eh, ako po iyong iyong
napasama nasasaktan po
ako ng todo,” he added.
“I feel bad. I feel sad. I
feel sick. Usap muna kami
ng management.”
As narrated by Ver-
zosa in explaining the cir-
cumstances that led to
Geisler’s actions in the
video, the student said the
actor had agreed to act in
a school production for an
editorial design campaign.
Geisler, however, was irked
after the script for the proj-
ect was delivered late to
him.
Despite their repeated
apologies, the actor went
on to hurl invectives at
Verzosa’s group and went
on to assault him.•
