Is Cedric Lee's cryptic response a threat to Vhong Navarro?
According to GMA News, After 5 months of being detained, business man Cedric Lee, model Deniece Cornejo and Simeon "Zimmer" Raz, were temporarily released after posting 500,000 pesos bail in connection to their serious illegal detention case. Navarro filed the case against Lee, Raz and three others including Deniece Cornejo, for illegally detaining him last January in a condominium in Taguig.
Upon his release, Cedric Lee was asked by reporters about his message to the tv host/actor Vhong Navarro. Although he did not agree to an interview, he gave a short but cryptic message. He smiled and responded, "It's Showtime!"
Some netizens have interpreted Lee's message as a threat to Navarro.
Meanwhile according to a report from ABS-CBN News, Lee's laywer Atty. Howard Calleja said that there is no reason to give malice to Lee's statement.
In an interview with DZMM, Atty. Calleja said, "There's nothing bad or malicious about that... Baka masaya lang 'yung tao or nami-miss niyang manood ng TV," (Maybe he was just happy, or he just missed watching tv.) Calleja also said that he would remind his client not to give statements like that.
Earlier, Vhong Navarro became emotional and aired his concern for the safety of his family, after the release of Lee and Raz. The tv host/actor also expressed his dismay about Taguig Regional Trial Court's decision.
