Gretchen Barretto hosts ‘thanksgiving party’ after court dismisses Kris Aquino’s theft charges

Actress and socialite Gretchen Barretto hosted a ‘thanksgiving party’ after the Makati Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the complaints filed by Kris Aquino against her former project and endorsement manager Nicko Falcis.

It can be recalled that the Prosecutor’s Office dismissed the case saying that the credit card was issued to Falcis’ name, meaning “he can use the card for his purchases” to the terms and conditions set by the issuing bank.

The court added that “no proof was presented that he used the card with intent to gain or intent to defraud.”

Falcis is only liable to pay for his bills which have since become due.

After the court’s decision to dismiss the case, Baretto threw a party for Falcis even though he was not present.

As seen in the actress’ Instagram post, they had a celebration wherein they danced and enjoyed a meal with some friends.

“Thanksgiving celebration for our dearest [Nicko and Jesus],” Barretto captioned the post tagging Falcis and his brother Atty. Jesus.

It can be recalled that Barretto meddled with the issue a few months ago and took the side of Falcis.

She called Aquino a bully and a power tripper.

On the other hand, Aquino’s legal team from the Fortun Narvasa and Salazar Law Office said through a statement that the court’s decision was “irregular and legally flawed” and that they will be filing an appeal to reconsider her complaints.
