Beauty queen Michelle Dee has taken legal action by filing a perjury case against her driver, who goes by the alias "Totoy," following accusations of assault. The case was formally submitted at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), with Dee being accompanied by her legal representative during the proceedings.
Details of the Allegations and Legal Response
According to reports, the driver, also identified as a personal assistant to actress Rhian Ramos, claimed that he was physically assaulted and beaten by Dee, Ramos, and several associates. The alleged incident stemmed from the driver's purported involvement in taking sensitive photographs of the actress, which sparked the conflict.
Inconsistencies in Statements Prompt Legal Action
Dee's lawyer, Atty. Maggie Garduque, emphasized that the decision to file the perjury charge was driven by significant inconsistencies in the statements made by the driver. Garduque pointed out that these discrepancies in "Totoy's" accounts raised doubts about the veracity of the assault claims, leading to the legal move to hold him accountable for false testimony.
The case highlights a contentious dispute between the beauty queen and her former driver, with the NBI now involved in investigating the matter. As the legal process unfolds, further developments are expected to shed light on the truth behind the allegations and the motivations behind the driver's accusations.
