Recently, Bea made headlines after filing a cyberlibel complaint against showbiz reporters Cristy Fermin and Ogie Diaz, among others. Efren is also alleged to be romantically involved with one of the non-showbiz respondents in Bea’s cyberlibel complaints.

In their response, Bea’s legal team questioned the timing and intent of Efren’s complaint, suggesting it was a retaliatory move connected to the ongoing legal disputes. The statement reads:

"The timing of Mr. Delos Reyes' filing of the labor case is highly suspect. Since he was made a witness to one of the respondents among the criminal cases we filed, not to mention him being a lover as admitted, then the intent behind said filing & the timeliness of such filing are too obvious not to be noticed.

“His acknowledgment of being involved as a lover clearly magnifies his bias and undermines his credibility which yet again puts into question or doubt the true intent behind his & her lover-respondent's legal maneuvers.

“For the record, Mr. Delos Reyes only served as service driver of the family and only for a short period of 3 months, he was not even assigned as Bea's personal driver for her professional engagements. Thus, his claims seem farfetched, unreasonable, if not unrealistic.

“It's nothing but a pure harassment case, a desperate attempt to sponge off, an obvious act capitalizing on the criminal case."
