Manila – In what could be the biggest and most jaw-dropping celebrity scandal of the year, top influencer and actress Ivana Alawi has reportedly filed a formal lawsuit against Yen Santos, who is being tagged as the alleged mistress of Bacolod Mayor Albee Benitez!

The entertainment world is in complete disbelief as legal documents surfaced online, allegedly confirming that Ivana is taking serious legal action—and the case involves not just emotional damages but also allegations of psychological abuse, defamation, and malicious interference in a romantic relationship. Sources say the complaint was filed discreetly but has now exploded into the public eye like a ticking time bomb.

According to insiders, Ivana has been in a secret relationship with a “powerful political figure,” believed to be none other than Albee Benitez. While this relationship was never officially confirmed, Ivana reportedly felt betrayed after discovering that Yen Santos, her former industry acquaintance, was allegedly having an affair with the same man.

An exclusive source close to the actress said:

“Ivana didn’t want this to be public. But after months of emotional stress and seeing Yen flaunt her closeness with Albee in private circles, she finally decided to fight back — legally.”

Yen Santos, who had previously been in the spotlight for her controversial connection to actor Paolo Contis, now finds herself in the eye of yet another storm. Social media exploded with allegations after a video clip leaked last week, showing Yen and Mayor Benitez boarding a private jet together in Hong Kong.

Fans of Ivana were quick to rally behind her, flooding social media with hashtags like #JusticeForIvana, #YenExposed, and #AlbeeScandal2025. Many expressed their anger over what they call a betrayal of trust and “power games” in showbiz and politics.

Veteran showbiz columnist Linda Mauricio commented on her radio program:

“This isn’t just showbiz gossip anymore. This is a woman standing up for herself against betrayal and public humiliation. Yen Santos should prepare for a media storm.”

As of press time, neither Yen Santos nor Albee Benitez has issued an official statement, but sources say that Yen is already in talks with high-profile lawyers to combat the legal firestorm headed her way.

Meanwhile, Ivana Alawi has remained composed and elegant, posting a cryptic Instagram story that simply said:

“The truth always wins. 🕊️”

Fans and media outlets are now bracing for what could be the celebrity courtroom showdown of the decade. Legal experts say that if Ivana pushes forward with charges like emotional distress and public defamation, the consequences for Yen could include multi-million peso damages and a permanent dent in her public image.

Will Yen Santos deny everything? Will Albee Benitez come clean? Or is this just the beginning of a deeper, darker story about love, power, and betrayal behind the glitz and glamour?
