On October 5, 2018, Fullido filed sexual harassment, libel complaints against ABS-CBN executive Cheryl Favila and ABS-CBN News segment producer Maricar Asprec, along with news reporter Marie Lozano, who allegedly “besmirched her reputation” by saying that she filed sexual harassment complaints to leverage her employment status at the network. The entertainment reporter accuses two executives of sending her text messages with sexual innuendos and requesting sexual favors. She also accused them of making it difficult for her to work as an anchor and reporter for TV Patrol when she rejected their advances.[3]

Controversy
