Sarwendah and Ruben Onsu dispute child custody while denying Rp20 billion loss rumors

Sarwendah’s legal team has repeatedly denied media reports that she lost up to Rp20 billion and that brands abandoned her over a dispute with ex‑husband Ruben Onsu. Attorney Chris Sam Siwu called the loss figure a hoax and said many brands remain interested, with some merely pausing collaborations until the situation calms.

The couple is also locked in a custody battle over their two daughters. A court order allocates four days a week to Sarwendah and three days to Ruben, but both sides accuse the other of hindering regular visits. Ruben’s lawyer Minola Sebayang argues the responsibility to ensure meeting time lies with Sarwendah, while Sarwendah’s counsel counters that no obstruction has occurred and has even sought private settlement. Discussions of possible child‑protection agency review have been noted, but no formal action is reported. Throughout, Sarwendah emphasizes her children’s well‑being over any financial concerns.
