Adam “Randy” Lawyer has strongly denied the allegations of abuse raised against him by his wife, Miss International 1979 Melanie Marquez, following her emotional revelations on national television.
On an episode of Fast Talk with Boy Abunda on January 6, host Boy Abunda read a statement sent to the program via email from Randy’s legal counsel. The statement directly addressed Melanie’s accusations and emphasized Randy’s strong denial.
In the statement, Randy’s legal counsel asserted that the accusations were not only as untrue but also as damaging to his reputation.
“Our client, Mr. Adam Lawyer, categorically denies with strongest terms the allegations thrown against him. Ms. Melanie has always been engaged in ostentatiously accusing Mr. Lawyer of abuse, but all of which were found to be baseless or unfounded by the proper forum. This is nothing but an act of harassment suffered by our client; an act of defamation on the part of Ms. Melanie,” wrote Atty. Jecko G. Bello.
The statement was released by Atty. Mitzell Arthur R. Magdaong, Atty. Isabel Perfetua P. Doctolero, and Atty. Jecko G. Bello, who further claimed that Melanie has a pattern of making accusations against her husband.
According to their statement, “Ms. Marquez has a notorious history of hurling ostentatious, fabricated claims of abuse at Mr. Lawyer—every single one previously investigated and dismissed as baseless and unfounded by the appropriate authority/ies and forum/a.”
They also addressed a specific case that Melanie said during her interview, clarifying that the complaint was dismissed by the Office of the City Prosecutor of Makati and never reached the court of law.
Randy’s camp went on to describe the renewed allegations as a deliberate attempt to harm him, stating, “This latest stunt is nothing short of malicious harassment, designed to inflict severe reputational damage, emotional distress, and professional harm on our client. Mr. Lawyer will address the particularities of the Ms. Marquez’s accusations against him before the Bureau of Immigration, the proper forum.”
This follows Melanie’s recent interview with the King of Talk on January 5, where she publicly shared her side of the story. During the interview, she spoke about alleged physical abuse and revealed that she is seeking the cancellation of Randy’s visa and his blacklisting. She also disclosed that she is filing for divorce from her American husband of more than two decades.
Melanie and Randy were married in 2000 and have two children together. Melanie also has four children from previous relationships: Michelle Dee, Maxine, Mazen, and Manuelito. (A. De Guzman/Push team/abs-cbn)
