Naglabas ng sariling statement ngayong gabi ng July 19 si Sam Milby para sa mga taong nakikialam sa relasyon nila ni Catriona Gray.
Ito'y matapos na naunang maglabas ng official statement at warning ang legal counsel ng nobya niyang Miss Universe 2018 laban sa mga nagkakalat ng fake topless photo nito sa social media.
Sabi ni Sam, “I cannot simply stand by and allow other people to take control of a narrative that is not theirs to tell.
“Cat and I have chosen to keep our relationship mostly private. It was only until recently that we made an exception, to lend our voices to charitable causes. But that does not mean that there is truth to any of these false stories and fake news that people are creating to fill in the blanks. In fact, these wrongful accusations and defamatory lies are dangerous.
“One’s silence doesn’t imply guilt. It has been our initial choice not to dignify nor respond to all these baseless claims.
“Cat is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever known. She is always putting other people first, thinking of how to use her voice and talent to help other people in need. Her grace, dignity, and strength even in the midst of all these false accusations make me admire and love her even more.
“I will always be here for her and will do everything in my power to protect her," ang binitiwan na pangako ni Sam.
Hindi man nagbanggit ng pangalan si Sam, malakas ang haka-haka na para kay Clint Bondad, ang ex-boyfriend ni Catriona, ang kanyang pahayag.
Nito kasing mga nakalipas na araw, sunud-sunod ang cryptic at halos strange posts ni Clint sa social media, na binibigyan ng ibang kahulugan ng publiko.
