Celina Jaitly BREAKS SILENCE after Peter Haag and father-in-law sent legal notices; calls it “an attempt to divert attention”
Actress Celina Jaitly has issued a detailed statement in response to legal notices sent by her estranged husband Peter Haag and his father, Wolfgang Haag, who have threatened to initiate defamation proceedings against her.
The development comes days after Semwal & Co.
, acting on behalf of Peter Haag and Wolfgang Haag, confirmed that two separate legal notices had been served to the actress.
The notices alleged that Celina had circulated false, defamatory and misleading statements through social media, interviews and media interactions while matrimonial and child custody proceedings remain pending before courts in Austria.
Responding publicly, Celina said her legal team at Karanjawala & Co.
has already submitted a formal reply.
"Two legal notices have recently been sent to me by my estranged husband Peter & his father Wolfgang Haag, threatening to sue me for defamation.
A response has aptly been submitted through my legal representatives, advocates at Karanjawala & Co.
," she stated.
The actress alleged that the notices were intended to shift focus away from issues she has raised before authorities.
"In my view, these notices are an attempt to divert attention from police complaints, lookout notices, allegations of violence, documented evidence before the competent authorities & pending before the courts," she wrote.
Celina also asserted that discussing her personal experiences and seeking legal remedies should not be considered defamatory.
Key Details
"Speaking about my lived experiences & pursuing lawful remedies is not defamation," she said. Referring to her family's past public appearances, the actress claimed that media visibility had previously been welcomed. "For years, publicity involving our family was actively embraced, including Peter's participation in magazine covers, interviews, articles featuring our children & me until it suited his own interests. " She further questioned why legal notices were issued after she began speaking publicly about her experiences. "It is therefore ironic that when I began speaking about my own experiences, legal battles, concerns as a mother & pursuit of justice, I was met with legal notices instead of answers. " The actress emphasized her relationship with her children and said they remain central to her ongoing legal fight.
This is a developing story. We'll update this article as more details emerge.
