Trigger warning: Mention of sexual abuse
MANILA, Philippines — Actor Aaron Villena claimed that he once got sexually harrased by a film director he did not name amid issue surrounding actor Sandro Muhlach and the two GMA Network contractors.
In his Facebook account, Ahron said that the director took advantage of him as a newcomer in the showbiz industry.
“May nakita akong post nagsalita pala etong direktor na eto na matagal na daw nangyari ‘yung mga ganung scenario? Parang proud na proud ka pa. Eh kung sabihin ko kaya na isa ako dun sa mga artistang naexploit at ikaw un!” Ahron wrote.
“Tandang tanda ko ung kelangan ko magplaster sa eksena cameo role lang ako may tumutulong na sakin sa production pero pumasok ka sa CR at pinaalis mo sya. Ang sabi mo pa, ‘Dapat hindi ka nagpapalagay sa kanila ako na dapat maglalagay niyan,’” he added.
Ahron claimed that the director purposely bumped his hand on his private part.
“Irerespeto kita bilang tao at direktor kasi magaling ka pero dahil baguhan pa lang ako noon oo lang ako nang oo kasi kelangan ko din kumita ng pera,” he said.
“Malamang hindi mo na maalala kasi sigurado ako hindi lang ako ang ginawan mo ng ganun.”
It can be recalled that Ahron first revealed his experience in an interview with “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” last March.
“Hindi kita pinangalanan kasi may respeto pa rin ako sayo. Kahit mga staff nagtatanong sakin, hindi ako nagsalita. Kaya sana tahimik kana lang din. Kahit noon or ngayon, never naman magiging tama ‘yung gawaing ganun. Kung totoo man or hindi, hindi mo dapat itolerate ‘yung mga ganung bagay,” he said.
