Citing Cornejo's legal counsel Atty. Salvador Panelo, the report said that the 23-year-old model who accused actor Vhong Navarro of rape slashed her wrist as protest to the injustice she is suffering from.

Below is the statement of Panelo that has gone viral on social media sites:

"Deniece Cornejo slashed her wrist this morning to call attention to the injustice she is suffering from - and as a symbolic protest against the July 11, 2014 anomalous dismissal of the rape case she filed against Vhong Navarro, which rape complaint she already formally withdrew on July 4, 2014, so she could focus on her defense on the serious illegal detention and perjury cases filed against her.

"Dismissal of the rape complaint by the City Prosecutor of Taguig, already previously withdrawn by the complainant Deniece, is grave misconduct and smacks of evident bad faith intended to further impair her credibility.

"She is presently in a state of depression and going thru sleepless nights.

"She is still in shock why she, who is a victim of sexual abuse, is languishing in jail. She decries the fact that powerful personalities in the movie industry have used their influence on the powers - that - be and the media to cast her as the heel instead of being the wronged victim. The tragic saga of Deniece Cornejo continues even as the purveyors of injustice remain hostage to ignorance and progressive putrefaction."

According to ABS-CBN reporter Dennis Datu, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group has denied Cornejo's alleged suicide attempt.
