Controversies

edit

On August 3, 2013, three video clips of Miranda having sex with three women on different occasions were shown on YouTube. The video with Naig became viral online.[11] On his Twitter account, Miranda said his room was recently robbed. Among those stolen was his hard disk drive, where photo and video files were stored.[12] On Parokya ni Edgar's Facebook page and on Miranda's Instagram page, Miranda apologized for the scandal.[13] A second clip was uploaded on a Facebook page.[14][15]

In February 2016, the Cebu Regional Trial Court Branch 5 issued a warrant of arrest for cyberlibel against Naig and Danilyn Nunga, her road manager for posting an Instagram photo of two complainants portrayed as bogus sellers of a digital camera.[16]

On November 23, 2024, Naig was arrested for 14 counts of fraud[17] and was detained in Pasay.[18] She was released following a court order on December 4.[19]
