Ex-hubby says Ai-Ai interviews violate court’s gag order
The estranged husband of comedienne Ai-Ai delas Alas wants the actress cited in contempt for granting media interviews and allegedly violating a gag order issued by a Quezon City court. In a petition filed Thursday, businessman Jed Salang, who was earlier sued by Delas Alas for domestic violence, said the actress defied the order from Judge Roslyn Rabara-Tria when she “appeared in different forms of media while peddling the merits of her case. This is in direct violation not only of the gag order but the sub judice rule as well, to the extreme prejudice of the petitioner (Salang).” He cited the July issues of two show biz magazines where he said details on the merits of the case against him had been revealed. Delas Alas has also sought a permanent protection order against Salang. Jeannette I. Andrade
