Kim Chiu firm in pursuing qualified case vs sister Lakambini
Kim Chiu remains firm in her decision to proceed with the legal complaint filed against her elder sister, Lakambini "Lakam" Chiu, Star Magic clarified.
On Thursday, Star Magic issued a statement following the resurfacing of a 2023 interview where Kim spoke fondly about her sister. The agency emphasized that while those recorded remarks were true at the time, they no longer reflect the present situation following critical developments.
"In 2023, an interview of Kim regarding her sister was recorded and currently being viewed by the public. While the statements made by Kim at the time were true and reflected the circumstances then, they no longer represent the present situation," they wrote. "Since then, Kim has discovered material information that came to light in 2025, which prompted her to take legal action."
The agency said that Chiu is "firm in her decision" to push through with the case and that the criminal complaint filed by the actress is currently pending before the proper authorities.
"Kim remains firm in her decision to pursue the case through the proper legal process in order to establish the truth, hold the responsible parties accountable, and seek justice."
"This statement is issued solely to clarify the timeline of events and to avoid any misunderstanding arising from previously recorded statements. As the matter is now the subject of ongoing legal proceedings, we respectfully ask for the public's understanding and for Kim's privacy to be respected while the case takes its proper course," Star Magic said.
Rumors about a rift between the Chiu sisters began in August 2025, when eagle-eyed social media users noticed that they unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Last December, the Kapamilya star said she has decided to sue her sibling “in relation to serious financial discrepancies discovered within my business operations.”
Per the media outlet, her legal counsel refused to name the business they shared but noted that Lakambini was part of its management.
