Legal cases
Civil complaints seeking ₱2 million in damages have been filed against Badoy-Partosa by activist Carol Araullo and separately by her son, journalist Atom Araullo, for Badoy-Partosa's repeated red-tagging of them in public. Atom Araullo decided not to file libel charges on Badoy-Partosa as he is against the criminalization of libel, which is used to harass legitimate media in the Philippines.
The Supreme Court of the Philippines in a 51-page judgment by Marvic Leonen promulgated on February 29, 2024, fined Badoy PHP 30,000 for indirect contempt of court per publication of vitriolic statements and outright threats. She was found guilty of online red-tagging Manila RTC, Branch 19 Judge Judge Marlo A. Magdoza-Malagar calling him an “idiot judge” who lawyered for the CPP-NPA (A.M. No. 22-09-16-SC and G.R.
