Ruben Onsu and ex‑wife Sarwendah clash in heated social‑media feud
Former Cherrybelle member Sarwendah has become the focus of a public dispute with her ex‑husband, TV presenter Ruben Onsu, following their divorce. The couple’s conflict, centred on child‑custody and alimony issues, has spilled onto social‑media platforms, with Onsu posting a pointed message that referenced “lifting someone from the mud.”
Lisa Mariana took to Instagram to publicly back Onsu, citing personal experiences with the presenter and questioning recent accusations aimed at him. Meanwhile, Sarwendah’s boyfriend, entrepreneur Giorgio Antonio, faced scrutiny over claims that he is a CEO. Antonio responded in a live TikTok stream, listing several businesses he leads—including the financial‑education platform Fitness Stock by Sucor Sekuritas, the fitness‑fashion brand BMore Official, and the local perfume label Careso—while defending the use of live streaming as a modern business strategy.
The controversy also revived discussion of Sarwendah’s past in the idol group Cherrybelle. Former producer Dino Raturandang posted on Threads that he had been bullied for the 2012 decision to remove her from the group, a move later echoed by former members. The feud has generated extensive commentary across Indonesian social media, drawing attention to the personal lives of the entertainers involved.
