Indonesian celebrity social media dispute

A social media dispute has emerged between Indonesian celebrities Melaney Ricardo and Emma Warokka regarding comments made about Sarwendah. The tension initially centered on Melaney’s remarks about Sarwendah’s household and her relationship with Giorgio Antonio. Emma Warokka criticized these questions, noting that Sarwendah’s children receive significant financial support from Ruben Onsu and suggesting it was inappropriate to link household food choices to Sarwendah’s partner.

The controversy escalated following the viral resurgence of an old video showing Melaney Ricardo making sarcastic remarks about Sarwendah’s children, specifically Betrand Peto, during a past television shoot. Emma Warokka reposted the clip to provide context to public discussions, while Melaney Ricardo defended her actions as “lighthearted jokes” and argued the footage was outdated.

As the dispute expanded to include Feni Rose, Melaney Ricardo addressed public backlash on TikTok, stating she would not let online criticism affect her happiness. However, many netizens have criticized her response, accusing her of using humor to mask bullying behavior toward Betrand Peto.
