In an emotional interview with talent manager Ogie Diaz released on March 6, Natividad addressed the controversy directly. The actor clarified that the video was recorded approximately three years ago, around 2022 or 2023. He admitted that the incident was a "lapse in judgment" and a "moment of weakness," emphasising that it did not stem from any marital conflict at the time.
Natividad revealed that he had been aware of the video's existence and had lived in fear of its release for years. He shared that he had previously been contacted by individuals on messaging platforms like Telegram who were attempting to sell the footage.

The 'Big 4' Scandal
In early March 2026, a major digital scandal dubbed the "Big 4" erupted in the Philippines after private, intimate videos featuring actors Nikko Natividad, Arron Villaflor, Gil Cuerva, and Ron Angeles were leaked and circulated online. The controversy sparked a national debate over digital privacy and the "weaponisation" of private content, with the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) and various celebrities condemning the unauthorised distribution as a violation of the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act (RA 9995).
Responses from the actors varied: Nikko Natividad tearfully admitted to the authenticity of his video while expressing deep remorse to his family; Gil Cuerva and Arron Villaflor both claimed the recordings were taken without their knowledge or consent, with Villaflor specifically labeling the leak as a political smear campaign; and Ron Angeles largely remained silent, posting only cryptic messages.
