Civil complaints seeking ₱2 million in damages have been filed against Badoy-Partosa by activist Carol Araullo[15] and separately, by her son, journalist Atom Araullo,[16] due to Badoy-Partosa's repeated public red-tagging of them. Atom Araullo chose not to file libel charges against Badoy-Partosa, as he opposes the criminalization of libel, which is often used to harass legitimate media in the Philippines.[16]In December 2024, the Quezon City Regional Trial Court promulgated a P2-million fine judgment against Badoy-Partosa and Jeffrey "Ka Eric" Celiz for red-baiting Atom Araullo.[17]

The Supreme Court of the Philippines in a 51-page judgment by Marvic Leonen promulgated on February 29, 2024, fined Badoy PHP 30,000 for indirect contempt of court per publication of vitriolic statements and outright threats. She was found guilty of online red-tagging Manila RTC, Branch 19 Judge Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar calling him an “idiot judge” who lawyered for the CPP-NPA (A.M. No. 22-09-16-SC and G.R.
