MANILA, Philippines: Renowned fashion designer Rodolfo "Puey" Quiñones filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles-based Filipino vlogger Claire Eden Contreras, also known as Maharlika, before the Superior Court of California at the County of Los Angeles in a case that even dragged the name of First Lady Marie Louise "Liza" Araneta-Marcos.

Quiñones, who also resides in Los Angeles, filed a complaint for defamation against the vlogger on March 1, 2024 after she ignored the cease-and-desist letter of the fashion designer in December 2023 asking her to retract and correct the statements she issued on her vlog posted on her Youtube page maligning him.
