AN ARTIST manager who requested anonymity — concerned about Nadine Lustre and her situation — understands and supports Viva Artists Agency (VAA) in its move to make the actress honor her management contract. Allow me to address the artist manager as Ms. X who has a vast experience in the field.

It was on December 11 when Boss Vic del Rosario’s VAA filed a lawsuit against Nadine before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court. It reasoned out that “early this year, Nadine violated her valid and existing Agency Management Agreement with them by contracting independently with advertisers, promoters and other third parties in utter disregard of the exclusivity of her contract.”
