Inurong na ni Bea Alonzo ang magdadalawang taong kasong cyber libel na isinampa niya laban kay Cristy Fermin at dalawa pa nitong co-hosts sa YouTube channel na "Showbiz Now Na!" na sina Wendell Alvarez at Romel Villamor, kasunod ng public apology ng showbiz columnist na ibinahagi nito sa kanyang vlog.
Sa "heartfelt and sincere" public apology statement ng kampo ni Cristy Fermin na naka-isyu para kay Bea, sa kanyang pamilya, at sa publiko: "We deeply regret the unintended and unfortunate consequences of our actions, including the public persecution that Ms. Alonzo has endured.
"It was never our intention to defame, offend, or harm Ms. Alonzo in any way. We realize now that our words might have fallen short of the respect and fairness that everyone deserves, especially someone who has dedicated her life to her craft and her audience.
"We resolved to cease and desist from any further commentary or content that would put Ms. Alonzo in a negative light.
"We are truly grateful to Ms. Alonzo for her willingness to work towards resolution and healing.
"To Ms. Alonzo, we extend our gratitude. We are hopeful that we can both move on from this chapter with a renewed understanding and mutual respect.
"Thank you to everyone for your understanding, and for giving us the chance to rectify our unintended shortcomings."
Ayon kay Cristy Fermin, tinanggap na ni Bea Alonzo ang kanilang paliwanag at pagpapakumbaba, at ayon din sa kanya, hindi lang sila kundi maging si Bea ay nagpakumbaba.
"Inintindi niya kami kung paanong inunawa rin po namin ang kanyang trabaho. Pinaghihirapan n'ya 'yan. 'Yung imahe niya talaga inaalagaan n'ya. At sa kanyang pakiramdam doon sa binitiwan naming salita na nasaktan siya ay sinadya namin. At dahil ipinaliwanag po namin sa kanya na kahit kailan wala po kaming ninais na siya'y saktan, siya ay sirain, o wasakin. Walang-wala po," sabi ni Cristy Fermin.
Kasunod ng apology, ayon sa GMA News Online, nag-release ng official statement ang kampo ni Bea Alonzo na Garcia Elauria Ruanto & Associates (GERA), na nagkukumpirma sa desisyon ng aktres na maresolba ito "through mediation."
"After two years of legal proceedings and with the case pending before the Regional Trial Court, this matter has run its course under the law. The process has not been easy for any party involved. It has required accountability, reflection, and fortitude.
"Upon deep reflection, Ms. Alonzo has chosen to forgive. Not out of weakness but out of strength. Not to erase what was done, but to free herself from a cycle of harm and hostility that no longer serves her life or her purpose."
Ayon pa sa statement, isinasara ni Bea ang chapter na ito na may "grace, dignity, and peace," at itinutuon na ang sarili sa pagbabalik sa kanyang trabaho, mga adbokasiya, at pagbibigay inspirasyon sa ibang tao.
"We ask that this moment be seen for what ot truly is. Not merely an ending, but a powerful expression of emotional maturity, personal growth, & courage. We thank all those who continue to respect both the legal process & the humanity behind it."
Naghain si Bea ng reklamong cyber libel laban kina Cristy Fermin, Ogie Diaz, at sa kanilang co-hosts noong May 2024.
Noong July 2025, nag-isyu ng warrant of arrest ang Quezon City Regional Trial Court laban sa kampo ni Cristy, Wendell, at Romel.
Nong sumunod na buwan ay nagpiyansa sina Cristy at Wendell kaugnay ng cyber libel complaint na inihain ng aktres.
