So, I can’t give too many details but in the end, the truth will set us free,” she ended. </p><div><br/></div><p>Last January, the former driver of Rhian filed a complaint before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) accusing her, Michelle, and Samantha of physical assault, torture, and serious illegal detention which allegedly happened inside a condominium unit in Makati City.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/1/29/legal-camp-of-michelle-dee-maintains-she-was-in-iloilo-at-the-time-of-alleged-torture-of-driver-2216"><strong>READ: Legal camp of Michelle Dee maintains she was in Iloilo at the time of alleged torture of driver</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>Michelle has since spoken up about the issue and denied any allegations thrown against her.

However, records would show na si Michelle Dee was in Iloilo ng buong araw ng January  17, and she was able to go back to Manila only on January 18,” Attorney Maggie Abraham-Garduque shared. </p><div><br/></div><p>Rhian’s mother also came to her defense on social media and questioned the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) on their support for the driver who allegedly stole from her daughter. </p><div><br/></div><p>“It has helped fuel this social media frenzy, leaving the ones stolen from and betrayed to be victimized even more by depraved imaginations with stories morphing like cancer,” Rhian’s mom previously stated. </p>
