Star Magic will not refrain from suing people who bash the children of its artists, the talent management company said in a statement released today, April 14.
“Star Magic is deeply concerned about the bashing and threats directed to our artists’ young children on social media,” said the statement, which comes after the recent bashing of Janella Salvador and Markus Paterson’s baby boy Jude, a case that both parents denounced on social media.
“These posts are not only irresponsible and unnecessary, but they are downright heartless and cruel,” Star Magic stressed.

“We stand with our artists calling out these people, who may be liable for violating the law against child abuse (Republic Act 7610) and existing libel laws,” Star Magic explained.
