Actor Nikko Natividad has decided not to file a complaint against the person who allegedly leaked his viral sex video, saying he wants to focus instead on repairing his relationship with his family.
Natividad spoke about the controversy in an emotional interview on the YouTube channel of entertainment host Ogie Diaz, where he admitted his mistake and took responsibility for his actions.
During the interview, the former Hashtags member acknowledged that there was no justification for what he had done.
“Walang words na pwedeng magpabawas o mag-cover up ng nagawa ko… Sa madaling salita, sabi ko sa wife ko, nademonyo ako, natukso, bumigay ako.”
According to Natividad, the incident captured in the video happened around 2022 or 2023, when he admitted he gave in to temptation despite being married.
“Siguro natira yung kahinaan ko, babae, laman. Walang ibang reason po. Mali ako.”
The actor revealed that he had long feared the video would eventually become public.
He said someone had already contacted him last year claiming the clip was being sold on Telegram, which made him worry that the truth would eventually reach his wife.
“Sabi ko, darating yung time na lalabas ’to. Sinusubukan ko lang i-delay kasi ayokong mahiwalay sa pamilya ko.”
His fears became reality when his wife discovered the video, which caused deep emotional pain for their family.
Natividad shared that his wife cried for more than a day after learning about the incident.
“Walang tigil ang iyak niya… halos na-dehydrate na ’yan, hindi umiinom ng tubig, nagkukulong.”
He also said he became terrified when his wife appeared emotionally overwhelmed, fearing she might harm herself.
“Ang isa lang hiling ko sa asawa ko, huwag kang bibigay. Kasi pag may nangyari sa ’yo, hindi ko mapapatawad ang sarili ko.”
Despite the pain caused by the controversy, Natividad said he felt immense relief when his wife Cielo Mae Eusebio eventually chose to forgive him.
“Nu’ng pinatawad niya ako, nakaramdam din ako ng saya… natutulog ako nang walang takot.”
He added that his focus now is rebuilding trust and proving that he has changed.
Despite acknowledging that the video was circulated without his consent, Natividad said he will not pursue legal action against the person responsible.
According to him, he believes his own wrongdoing also contributed to the situation.
“Hindi na ako magsasampa ng kaso… may mali rin ako sa nangyari.”
Natividad is among several actors whose alleged intimate videos recently circulated online, including Gil Cuerva, Arron Villaflor, and Ron Angeles.
While Cuerva has spoken out and said the recording was made without his consent, Villaflor has denied the allegations, claiming the clips were taken from scenes in his Vivamax films. Angeles has yet to issue a statement.
