Sarwendah's apology video draws criticism, Ruben Onsu remains silent

Sarwendah released a 2‑minute‑41‑second apology video on Instagram on 5 June 2026, addressed to the public, her children and fans after a viral insult toward actor Ruben Onsu. The video omitted any direct reference to Onsu, prompting backlash from netizens and fellow entertainers who accused her of lacking talent. Ruben Onsu’s lawyer Minola Sebayang said the apology had no connection to his client, noting no sentence in the video addressed Onsu, and therefore declined to comment further. The dispute highlights ongoing tension in Indonesia’s entertainment industry and the role of social‑media apologies.
