June 30, 2009 | By admin |

The old Dr. Hayden Kho is dead, according to the legal counsel of the controversial cosmetic surgeon.

Lawyer Lorna Kapunan told “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon” that a “reformed” Kho is now trying to become a better person.

“Yes, the old Hayden Kho is dead. The [new] Hayden Kho is reformed and is trying to be better,” Kapunan said, quoting a text message sent by her client.

Kapunan made this statement amid circulating text messages saying that Kho had attempted to end his life anew after he got embroiled in a sex video controversy.

It would be recalled that the cosmetic surgeon, who is the central figure in the scandal, had attempted to commit suicide after his former girlfriend, Dra. Vicki Belo, ended their relationship due to his infidelity.

Kapunan said upon learning about the prank she immediately called Kho. She assured that the young doctor is okay.

“Hindi totoo ‘yon. As a matter of fact, tinawagan ko si Hayden at sinabi ngang hindi totoo,” Kapunan said.

Kho is now battling legal charges after his sex videos with different women, including actress Katrina Halili, circulated on the Internet.

Halili accused Kho, Belo and three others of violating Republic Act 9262 or the Anti-Violence Against Women and their Children Act of 2004.

Kho admitted that he videotaped his sexcapades with different women without their knowledge. He also apologized for the proliferation of the sex videos, saying that these were uploaded and reproduced without his consent. In the news
