All we know is that (1) according to her own social media posts, Sharon Cuneta has been very unhappy with her weight, career and life; and (2) that TV5 wishes her all the best now she is no longer with the station.
But according to Viva Entertainment, which manages the career of the Megastar, it’s not as simple as it sounds.
The Philippine Star entertainment editor Ricky Lo published Viva’s official statement in his Funfare column on Aug 31:
“Sharon Cuneta’s contractual relationship with TV5 Network, Inc. officially ended on Aug 18, 2014, more than two years ahead of the original contract period that was supposed to expire in 2016.
“Ms. Cuneta graciously announced the end of her relationship with TV5 in social media, and TV5 later came out with an official statement thanking Ms. Cuneta for being part of the Kapatid Network for almost three years and wishing her well in all her future endeavors.
“Underneath these cordial expressions, however, lie a host of unresolved issues pertaining to the pre-termination of the contract, including the causes thereof and the consequential injuries suffered by the aggrieved party.
“These matters are left for resolution privately between the parties themselves or, if necessary, through an appropriate formal proceeding.
“In the meantime, Ms. Cuneta intends to enjoy the restful company of people who have always loved and believed in her, in good times and in bad times, and at the same time re-create herself for even bigger opportunities in her phenomenal career.”
