ABS-CBN News

MANILA - Hours after saying that his viral sex video <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/04/01/19/jim-paredes-says-circulating-video-fake">was fake</a>, singer-composer Jim Paredes has now confirmed the authenticity of the video but said it was not meant for public consumption.&quot;The video was real. It was private, and not meant for public consumption. I do not know how it became public,&quot; he <a href="http://jimparedes.com/archives/3275">wrote</a> on his blog &quot;Writing on Air.&quot;The APO Hiking Society member said he was in a quandary after seeing the video leaked to social media but decided to come clean after praying about it. &quot;There are already too many lies and liars in this world. I do not wish to be a part of that cabal. I have chosen to be truthful because I know that painful as the truth can be, it will eventually set me free,&quot; he said. The 67-year-old musician, known for being a vocal critic of the current administration, suspects the incident as politically-motivated.&quot;I can only surmise that in this ugly season of toxic politics, muckrakers determined to neutralize my influence by violating my privacy and digging up dirt on me are at work,&quot; he said.He also admitted he is &quot;a flawed person, a human being, much like everyone else.&quot;&quot;I made a mistake, I was irresponsible. And I am truly sorry,&quot; he said.He also begged for forgiveness from his family who are affected by the scandal.&quot;I stand in bottomless sorrow and contrition before my family who are reeling from the hurt and aggravation, and the embarrassment and shame, that should only be mine. I pray that they be spared any more wicked trolling by those who would revel in their pain,&quot; Paredes said.
