Jim kinain ang denial na fake ang kanyang sex video!

Kinontra rin ni Jim Paredes ang kanyang naunang pahayag na “fake” ang kanyang video scandal na kumalat last Monday sa internet dahil that day ay naglabas din siya ng official statement sa kanyang blog called Writing on Air stating that the video was real.

Sa mahabang official statement ni Jim, ramdam na ramdam mo ang bigat ng loob ng singer at dating miyembro ng iconic trio na Apo Hiking Society, lalo na nang banggitin niya ang kahihiyang inaabot ng kanyang pamilya dahil dito.

Inako niya ang lahat ng responsibilidad at pagkakamali kasabay ng paghingi ng tawad.

Narito ang kabuuan ng official statement ni Jim:

“This is very difficult for me to write, and for many of you, it will be painful to read.

“The video was real. It was private, and not meant for public consumption. I do not know how it became public. I can only surmise that in this ugly season of toxic politics, muckrakers determined to
neutralize my influence by violating my privacy and digging up dirt on me are at work.

“When I saw it on social media, I was in a quandary how to respond. But after mulling and praying over it, I decided to come clean. There are already too many lies and liars in this world. I do not wish to be apart of that cabal. I have chosen to be truthful because I know that painful as the truth can be, it will eventually set me free.

“I have never tried to project myself as perfect. Of all the sins in this world, I believe sex is the most human of all. I am not saying this to excuse what, I regret, was broadcast on social media. I have
always expressed my feelings freely.

“Today, I wish to express my truth. I am a flawed person, a human being, much like everyone else. I made a mistake, I was irresponsible. And I am truly sorry.

“I know many of you have judged me and condemned me, and those who held me in high esteem are disappointed in me, to put it mildly. I apologize for my irresponsibility.

“But most especially, I stand in bottomless sorrow and contrition before my family who are reeling from the hurt and aggravation, and the embarrassment and shame, that should only be mine. I pray that they be spared any more wicked trolling by those who would revel in their pain.”

Well, ayaw na naming husgahan pa si Jim dahil inamin naman na niya ang kanyang pagkakamali at sa halip, sana na lang ay huwag na itong maulit sa iba pa nating mga artista at nawa’y magsilbing moral lesson.

Time and again ay may ganitong pangyayari sa showbiz at nakapagtataka ngang hindi pa rin nadadala ang ating celebrities.
