Model and pageant title holder Andre John Cue has broken his silence regarding a viral video scandal that circulated online in the first week of March 2026.
Cue shared a statement on social media on March 13, acknowledging past mistakes while condemning the unauthorized circulation of private content.
“Mistakes were made years ago, and I take full responsibility for them. I understand that life comes with risks and difficult lessons,” Cue wrote.
However, he stressed that the videos were not meant for public viewing and were allegedly distributed without his consent.
“Unfortunately, personal content I believed would remain confidential—unauthorized recordings—was later exposed and circulated online and sold without my consent,” he said.
Cue described the incident as a serious breach of privacy and said the matter is now being handled through proper legal channels.
“This was a serious violation of my privacy and a painful experience that no one should have to endure. It is also a matter punishable by law, and we are allowing the authorities to conduct a proper investigation,” he added.
Despite the controversy, Cue said he intends to move forward with dignity and resilience.
“Despite everything, I choose to rise with dignity and strength, turning hardship into growth and challenges into resilience,” he wrote.
The model also expressed gratitude to supporters who stood by him during the issue.
“I am deeply grateful to everyone who has supported me during this difficult time. Your kindness and encouragement mean more than words can express.”
Cue, 22, first gained public attention after placing fourth runner-up in the Mister International Philippines 2022 pageant.
He is the sixth personality to address the controversy involving a series of alleged private video leaks that became a trending topic online. Earlier statements had been issued by Ron Angeles, Gil Cuerva, Nikko Natividad, Arron Villaflor, and Nico Locco.
Meanwhile, models Thirdy Galvin and Sam Adjani, whose names have also been mentioned in connection with the alleged video series, have yet to issue statements as of writing.
Online discussions about the controversy intensified in early March, with several netizens referring to the first group of personalities involved as the “Big Four.”
