Karen Davila Claps Back At Sexual Harassment Case
On October 7, 2018, Karen made it utterly clear that she would stand by Gretchen Fullido by tweeting out her support and condemn on sexual harassment and victim shaming.
While a feud was emerging in the sexual harassment controversy within several former and current ABS-CBN news executives, Karen openly expressed her repulsion on the topic as she tweeted,
No to SEXUAL HARASSMENT. NO to any form of VICTIM SHAMING. Without prejudice to any of my colleagues, these values are eternal to my person.
The tweet was a slap to the personalities charged by Gretchen in front of the Quezon City Prosecutors' Office that included former ABS-CBN newsroom executive Cheryl Favilla, newsroom executives Ces Oreña Drilon and Venancio Borromeo, news segment producer Maricar Asprec, and reporter Marie Lozano.
Gretchen accused Cheryl and Maricar of sexual harassment for allegedly sending her text messages that suggestively amounted to asking for sexual favors and that they made her work at TV Patrol when she refused the advances.
