Some supporters of former president Rodrigo Duterte shared fabricated cards claiming that personalities like Annalise Keating, Elle Woods, and Johnny Sins spoke against the International Criminal Court‘s move to hold him in custody.
A social media user on Facebook posted a quote card that appeared to be from CNN which featured an image of Annalise, a character from the legal drama “How to Get Away With Murder,” who supposedly claimed Duterte’s ICC arrest was “illegal.”
The quote also states that the Philippines had already withdrawn from the Rome Statute and adds that the former president’s arrest was a “blatant violation” of the country’s “sovereignty and the rule of law.”
“This isn’t justice; it’s political persecution. Free Duterte now — or face the consequences,” she supposedly said.
The quote card additionally claims Annalise is a Harvard University professor and a “public international law expert.”
The fictional character is played by American actress Viola Davis.
Another social media user from TikTok also posted a similar quote with an image of Elle Woods, a character from the “Legally Blonde” movie franchise.
The quote also included a logo of NBC News.
Elle is played by American actress Reese Witherspoon.
Meanwhile, another social media user posted a quote card on the group “Duterte Supporters International” featuring Johnny Sins’ image, claiming he is a “world-renowned lawyer.”
The quote similarly claims he believes Duterte’s arrest was “illegal” and that he was “willing” to offer his “services” to the former president for free.
Johnny Sins is not a lawyer but an American adult film performer and YouTube personality.
RATING: These are fake.
