Shortly after the lawsuit went public, Chacon’s attorney, Jeff Chabrowe, also shared a statement with PEOPLE. “MR. Chacon vehemently denies the allegations,” he wrote. “Chacon and his close friends and family were verbally abused, harassed and threatened by the plaintiffs” who demanded “millions of dollars” from the actor. “Mr. Chacon has refused to compromise his ethical beliefs; this lawsuit is solely the result of his refusal to be coerced.”
Chabrowe continued: “Mr. Chacon will fully cooperate with any investigation and provide all the evidence necessary to prove his innocence. We have complete faith in our legal system and trust that the truth will ultimately prevail.”
