Jillian Ward wants to take legal action over fake news surrounding her

Jillian Ward is considering taking legal action after fake news about her resurfaced last week.

On Tuesday's episode of "Fast Talk With Boy Abunda," the Star of the New Gen addressed several issues being thrown against her, such as allegations of a sugar daddy and a secret baby, claims that her own mother was offering her to benefactors, and rumors linking her to former Ilocos Sur governor Chavit Singson.

When asked whether she has an idea where the rumors are coming from or if someone is behind it, Jillian said she does not know. But the actress said enough is enough.

"Ewan ko po ba Tito Boy. Parang every week na lang po may fake news about me. And honestly gusto na rin po namin ng GMA na mag-take ng legal action kasi cyber libel na rin po talaga. It's not right," she said.

The King of Talk clarified whether she meant filing charges, she said yes.

"Yes gusto ko po na rin talaga, napag-uusapan na rin po namin ng GMA 'yun kasi it's too much," she said. "Especially po it started nga po nung minor ako, sobra na rin po talaga especially itong nagre-resurface na ginagawa po nilang issue."

Jillian said she was 16 years old when rumors of her having a sugar daddy began, all because of the sports car that she was able to buy second-hand.

The Sparkle star also said the thought of quitting showbiz entered her mind due to the issues that keep invalidating her efforts.

"Last Friday nasa taping po ako tas sobrang parang hindi na po present 'yung utak ko. Kasi sinasabi ko, ano pa pong point ng lahat ng hard work ko, ano pa pong point ng lahat ng pinagpapaguran ko?" she said.

"Sobrang honestly nadi-discourage po ako. Na parang, ano pang point na sobrang nagsisipag ako tapos sa isang post lang, maniniwala po 'yung mga tao sa mga fake [news] na ginagawa about me," she added.

Jillian said she prayed about it and realized that that she's in the industry for the craft, more than the blessings and support that she has been receiving.

"I'm here for the art. Gusto ko lang po talagang mag artista. 'Yun din po 'yung gusto kong sabihin," she said. "Gusto ko lang talagang mag-taping, gusto ko lang talagang mag-create ng magagandang stories sa TV. Kaya nasasaktan po ako 'pag may ganitong klaseng issue lalo nadadamay 'yung parents ko."

Jillian is set to star in upcoming series titled "Never Say Die" with David Licauco and Kim Ji Soo. She is also part of KMJS' "Gabi ng Lagim: The Movie." —MGP, GMA Integrated News
