MANILA, Philippines—Actor Vhong Navarro has been receiving threatening text messages since the mauling incident that involved businessman Cedric Lee and model Deniece Millet Cornejo, Navarro’s lawyer said. “Mr. Vhong has been receiving anonymous text messages that contain threats,” attorney Dennis Manalo said in a televised interview Friday.

In his affidavit to the National Bureau of Investigation, Navarro said he was inside Cornejo’s condominium unit when two men came out of the room and one pointed a gun at the comedian-TV host. They then tied and blindfolded Navarro and simultaneously rained blows on him, he said. Navarro also claimed that, while he was stripped naked, video cameras were pointed at him and that his assailants ordered him to utter “Ako si Vhong, ni-rape ko ang kaibigan ko.” (I am Vhong and I … [Read more...] about Vhong Navarro gets death threats, says lawyer
