MANILA, Philippines – TV5 said the network backs Paolo Bediones as he figures in an alleged sex video scandal.
Bediones became a trending topic on social networking sites on Sunday, July 27, after a sex video that features a man resembling the news anchor surfaced online.
The six-minute video shows the man and an unidentified woman doing intimate acts.
In a statement sent to Philstar.com and other media outfits, the Kapatid network said: “The recent issue involving our news anchor Paolo Bediones on social media is a purely personal and private matter in which TV5 has no involvement or desire to intrude. We accord our employee and talents all respect that are due them for their privacy and personal action or decision.”
“We disapprove strongly the malicious and wanton publication of the video, an act that clearly violates pertinent cybercrime laws.”
“We firmly express our support for our anchor Paolo Bediones in the face of a controversy that represents nothing more than an attempt to smear his reputation.”
Bediones was longtime GMA7 TV host before moving to TV5 in 2010.
