The PR manager of actor Baron Geisler said Monday the video showing the actor cursing and confronting a UP student was “taken out of context.”
In a text message sent to INQUIRER.net, Tinnie Esguerra said Geisler also plans to consult his lawyers for an apparent legal action against the person who posted the video on Facebook over the weekend.
“The video was taken out of context, and because of that, I plan to consult my lawyers for the possible liabilities of the person who uploaded the video, whose apparent intention was to exploit my already damaged reputation,” the message quoted Geisler as saying.
The video, which became viral after it was posted by a certain Khalil Versoza, showed Geisler cursing and threatening a Viacom-Fine Arts UP student after the actor allegedly got angry over the late delivery of the script for a project he was supposed to do with the student.
Versoza said in his FB post that the delay was due to their tight school work. This apparently did not appease Geisler who was also shown in the video locking his hand on the neck of the student while cursing him and telling whoever was shooting the video to stop. Clarizel Abanilla
