Rita Daniela 'trying to be OK' after filing complaint vs Archie Alemania

Rita Daniela has broken her silence after filing an act of lasciviousness complaint against Archie Alemania.

In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, Rita said that she's trying her best to be OK for her son, Uno.

"I have to be OK. I have no choice because siyempre, there's a person who's depending on me. If bibigay ako, mas kawawa si Uno. Mas kawawa 'yung anak ko," she said.

Rita is starting to undergo counseling and therapy to help herself move forward and be strong, but she said will never forget what happened.

"There are days na hindi ko din napipigilan. Bumibigay ako bilang tao," she said.

According to Rita, there were fellow women who commended her for what she did.

"They've been telling me personally na, 'Hey, I like what you did. You're so brave. I hope I can be like that for myself before.' It took me a while talaga to do this, kung ano man 'yung ginawa ko kasi talagang, maliban sa pagdadasal, kailangan din ng ano eh, 'yung talagang pagnilay-nilayan mo lahat s'yempre," she said.

According to Rita's complaint, the incident happened after a Thanksgiving party in September. The singer-actress said Archie touched and kissed her without her consent.

GMA Integrated News is still reaching out to Alemania for his statement.
