Philippine actress Ruffa Gutierrez has claimed that she and her teen daughters were harassed by a group of men at Sunway Lagoon.
Gutierrez had shared the details of the 15 February incident as Instagram Stories and later posting them on her Twitter account.
While Gutierrez's original posts are no longer available, as Instagram Stories automatically disappear after 24 hours, an entertainment blog from the Philippines, Get It From Boy, had captured them and compiled into a YouTube video.
Gutierrez said that while she and her friend were buying food, "a group of old, creepy men were taking photos" of her kids "and blowing kisses, literally harassing them".
And while they tried to let go of the situation by walking to the waterpark, the group of men, 10 in total, showed up there, harassing her teen daughters again.
"But this time they did not know that my friend and I were right behind out girls. We stopped the guys and reprimanded them for whistling and they tried to attack us!!
"We came to Sunway Lagoon Malaysia to have fun with the children and did not realise it’s not safe at all!! Shocking!!" Gutierrez had written in her Instagram Stories.
