Rose Flaminiano sued Gabby Concepcion for 20 million

She made good her threat. Rose Flaminiano sued Gabby Concepcion for 20 million in damages with prayer for temporary rescinding order.

The feud between the two is no longer productive for both.

Here is the news from inquirer.

Film producer Rose Flaminiano has sued actor Gabby Concepcion for specific performance and P20 million in damages with application for writ of preliminary injunction and prayer for temporary restraining order over the rescinding of their five-year talent management contract.

Flaminiano said the TRO aims to prohibit Concepcion from working. She quoted their contract which stated that Concepcion cannot “directly or indirectly negotiate with prospective clients for political and commercial endorsements.”

The TRO, Flaminano said, also covers film projects and TV shows.

Flaminiano said she felt furious after watching Concepcion’s interview on ABS-CBN’s “The Buzz” last Sunday. In the interview, Concepcion alleged that he is “rescinding” his contract with Flaminiano because of money matters and “transparency” issues.

Concepcion, through lawyer Raymund Fortun, last week sent Flaminiano a letter seeking the termination of the contract.

Flaminiano denied the actor’s claims in his interview with “The Buzz” that he was left in the dark with regard to specific contractual details, such as additions to the amount reflected in the notarized contract, which he said was higher than the amount in the document he signed. Concepcion also claimed Flaminiano did not disclose that she was producing the 22 shows he would appear in the next three months.

“Naturally, I felt bad [hearing all those lies],” she told the Inquirer in a phone interview. “When I filed the case, I cried. I felt embarrassed. I couldn’t control the tears.”

Sought for comment, Fortun said that Concepcion’s camp has no idea about the damage suit. “No comment until we get a copy [of the charge sheet],” Fortun said.
