Yasmien Kurdi filed a complaint against Baron Geisler, alleged harassment to stop (with news video)

Yasmien Kurdi filed a complaint against Baron Geisler, alleged harassment to stop (with news video). Young actress Yasmien Kurdi has said that she filed a complaint against award winning actor Baron Geisler because she wanted his alleged harassment to stop.

"Siyempre po nakakatakot din po. Ako kasi ayaw ko pong manatili ng ilang panahon na nanahimik. Hindi po ako nananahimik at hahayaan ko ito na patagalin ng patagalin. Hindi po ako ganoong klaseng tao," Kurdi told ABS-CBN News.

On Monday Kurdi filed before the Philippine National Police (PNP) charges of acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation against Geisler.

Kurdi lodged her complaint before the PNP Women's Crisis and Child Protection Center in Camp Crame in Quezon City.

The actress’ camp is still studying the possibility of seeking a temporary restraining order against Baron to stop him from allegedly harassing her.

"Pag-uusapan pa din namin 'yong next action. Kasi hindi pa din namin alam kung ano ang action [na gagawin namin]," Kurdi said.

According to Kurdi’s lawyer, Ferdinand Topacio, there were at least four incidents of harassments that began on May 21, or during the taping of miniseries “Suspetsa.” Kurdi and Geisler are the lead stars of the miniseries.

The lawyer said the harassment occurred in front of the production staff. He also disclosed that Geisler had allegedly sent his client lewd text messages.

As for reports that Geisler was drunk during those instances, he said this is not an excuse for his behavior.

Kurdi's accusation came in the middle of the sex scandal involving actress Katrina Halili and Dr. Hayden Kho. The young actress, however, clarified that she is not using her case as a publicity stunt.

"Hindi po namin ginagawa ito dahil gusto naming magkaroon ng isyu, parang Katrina or something. Si Katrina nagkaroon siya ng isyu two years [ago pa] 'yon. Ako, ito bago pa lang," she said.

ABS-CBN News tried to get Geisler’s side but he declined to comment.

This was not the first time that Geisler has been accused of harassment. The daughter of celebrity couple William Martinez and Yayo Aguila had also charged the young actor with acts of lasciviousness and unjust vexation.
