But at that point, he alleged that Loresca, who was already being escorted out by guards, had turned violent and began attacking his partner. </p><p>He then alleged to have heard Loresca reason that his personal assistant is &quot;just [his] maid,&quot; and that he is a celebrity who can &quot;do whatever [he] wants and [they] cannot do anything about it.&quot; </p><p>Loresca, known for his videos of him strutting and dancing in high heels, downplayed the whole incident as a &quot;misunderstanding&quot; in a video he released online Saturday afternoon. </p><p>&quot;Lambing po iyon,&quot; he explained of his supposedly violent actions towards his assistant. &quot;Hindi po sila tatagal sa akin kung masama po akong tao. Sino po ba ako para manakit ng kapwa-tao? Wala akong karapatan manakit ng tao.&quot;</p><p>He also defended himself by saying that he only retaliated against Fernandez and his partner after the two jumped him unexpectedly. </p><p>&quot;Humihingi po ako ng sincere apology,&quot; he told Fernandez. &quot;Sorry talaga kasi hindi ko rin napigilan iyong sarili ko.&quot;</p><p>He also denied being drunk. </p><p>In his post, Fernandez said that he has been a fan of Loresca, whom he had looked up to for his &quot;confidence and his ability to show to people that there is nothing to be ashamed about being gay, and instead it should be celebrated.&quot; </p><p>&quot;As proud members of the gay community, as a couple, and most importantly as gay parents, we think that it is very important for us to do our part in keeping our community safe and educating others where possible,&quot; he wrote. </p><p>&quot;Regardless whether you are a man, woman or transgender, rich or poor, popular or not - no one has the right to abuse you, ever!&quot;</p><p>You can view Fernandez&#x27;s full post, as well as Loresca&#x27;s video apology, below: </p><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1916593382003276&amp;id=100009578974166" data-width="auto"> </div><div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&amp;version=v2.5" async="" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/sinon.olyedemi/videos/1724693617561266" data-width="auto"> </div>
