Nico Waje deactivates social media after being sued by Athena Imperial
Nico Waje cannot be reached after he was sued by former colleague Athena Imperial for acts of lasciviousness and sexual harassment.

Deactivated ang mga social media account ng former GMA Integrated News reporter na si Nico Waje mula nang sampahan siya ni Athena Imperial ng reklamo sa Prosecutor’s Office ng Quezon City.

Acts of lasciviousness under Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code at gender-based sexual harassment under Republic Act No.11313 ang mga reklamo na inihain ni Athena laban kay Waje noong Miyerkules, Mayo 13,2026.

Bukod sa deactivation ng mga social media account, hindi sinasagot ni Waje ang mga text message at tawag sa cellphone ng mga mamamahayag na gustong makuha ang panig niya tungkol sa demanda ni Imperial.

Ate ang tawag ni Waje kay Imperial noong magkasama pa sila sa GMA Integrated News.

Nag-viral si Waje sa social media noong Hulyo 2025 dahil sa mga ulat niya tungkol sa mga bagyo na nanalanta sa Pilipinas kaya naging popular siya at dumami ang bilang ng kanyang social media followers.

Noong Disyembre 2025, nalaman ng publiko na hindi na konektado si Waje sa GMA News dahil "former GMA Integrated News reporter" ang pakilala sa kanya nang maimbitahan siyang guest speaker sa Campus Journalism Summit na ginanap sa Cabuyao, Laguna.

Naghain ito ng hiwalay na reklamong sexual harassment laban kay Waje. Nangyari umano ang insidente noong 2019.

Sa ngayon ay wala pang opisyal na pahayag si Waje. Posibleng wala pa siyang natatanggap na kopya ng mga reklamo sa kanya.

Maselan ang isyung kinahaharap niya at tinutukan ng iba kung may epekto ito sa plano na gawin siyang main anchor ng isang national news platform.
