Kim Chiu filed a qualified theft complaint against her older sister Lakam Chiu, citing the ‘serious financial discrepancies discovered within [the actress’] business operations.’
‘After careful consideration and months of internal review, l have made the difficult decision to file a legal case for qualified theft against my sister, Lakambini Chiu, in relation to serious financial discrepancies discovered within my business operations,’ Kim said in a statement.
‘This decision did not come easily. It is one of the most painful steps I have ever taken in my life. As many know, I built my business ventures-with hard work, passion, and trust in the people I love. Unfortunately, substantial amounts connected to my business assets were found missing. These discoveries forced me to take formal action to protect not just my company, but also the livelihoods of the people who work with me and the integrity of everything I have built,’ she lamented.
Chiu further underscored that she has chosen to take legal action not only for herself but for the brand and the community who have been supporting her.
‘Despite this painful situation, I remain committed to my work, my supporters, and the continued growth of my business ventures. Also, continue to pray for healing and resolution for everyone involved,’ she added.
The siblings’ feud seemed to have taken a toll on the actress-TV host as she recently reflected on ‘taking a hit’ and being ‘exhausted by strength.’ /ra
