Syifa Hadju's Story Becomes A Victim Of Harassment During Ads Casting

JAKARTA - Syifa Hadju's actress had an unpleasant experience at the beginning of her career. This was revealed by Syifa through a podcast on the YouTube account of Rans Entertainment with Nagita Slavina and Angga Yunanda.

In an interview about their career journey, Nagita Slavina told Angga and Syifa about unpleasant events like being lied to by people when starting a career. It turned out that Syifa had experienced harassment when she was in junior high school.

Syifa admitted that at that time she still did not understand this. He told that the incident happened when he was following a casting ads with his mother and the one who cast it was an old man.

"Have you ever felt like an agency that felt like being lied to by someone like that?" Nagita Slavina was quoted as saying by VOI via YouTube Rans Entertainment, Sunday, September 24.

"I used to be like that before, then I've never had an agency... I don't know, because I don't know at that time I thought about it because I was still small. Think about it maybe it's real. I used to be casting it, he's already a man, this is far from my management now. I don't understand even though he's still there or not until now. Then he's like father, old, "continued Syifa Hadju.

Apart from Syifa, it turns out that the father has also handled other girls besides her. When he was casting, the figure asked parents to wear tank tops and shorts when casting.

"I don't know, in the past it had to be like that or something. So, in the past he held me and there were several girls my age, then in the past he talked to his parents 'Please, ma'am, his son was worn by a tank top with shorts', so that the maskud would look like casting was his body shape or something. Then Mom, I thought 'Oh yes' because there are so many things like that, we continue to normalize it," said Syifa.

Feeling that there is something strange about the behavior of this person, this 23-year-old woman finally tells her mother that every time she talks to Syifa, that person likes to hold some parts of her body. Until finally the mother moved Syifa to find another agency.

"Then I used to talk to my mother because I wasn't comfortable, because when I talked he liked (the thigh holder), that's it, then I was like 'I don't really compensate' I mean I don't understand, I'm uncomfortable, you're a boy. That's why mother, 'No, we're trying to find another option,'," added Syifa.
