"Our fact-check investigation has found these claims to be false. In reality, Rhea’s story went viral after her coach, Patrick B. Valenzuela, shared her accomplishments in a Facebook post on December 9, 2019. Rhea competed without shoes due to financial constraints but won gold medals in various races during the inter-school sports competition in Iloilo, Philippines.

The inspiring story drew support from various individuals and companies, including Nike Philippines, which gifted Rhea four pairs of shoes and other gear. Moreover, community support and donations further aided Rhea’s team.

We reached out to Joshua Enriquez, one of the individuals who helped Rhea, and he confirmed that the claim of Nike suing the young girl is entirely untrue. He also debunked the rumors on his Facebook page."
