JAKARTA - Giovanni Surya Saputra, or better known as DJ Panda, finally spoke up about his feud with celebrity Erika Carlina. In his latest statement, DJ Panda expressed his apology publicly and admitted his mistake regarding the dissemination of personal data.
DJ Panda admitted that he had made a mistake by spreading Erika's sensitive information into a WhatsApp group.
"On behalf of Giovanni Surya Saputra, I apologize to Erika Carlina. Because I have been wrong to spread Erika's personal data to a WhatsApp group," DJ Panda said in his statement in South Jakarta, Tuesday, December 16.
DJ Panda expressed his regret after realizing the huge impact of his actions. He said that the spread of the information leaked Erika's pregnancy secret, which had been covered up, thus triggering a negative public reaction.
This, according to DJ Panda, resulted in the terror that Erika received through direct messages (Direct Message/DM) on social media during her pregnancy.
"I have been made aware that my actions and those of the fans have resulted in things that are not really wanted by all parties," he admitted.
On this occasion, DJ Panda also stated that he fully understood the legal steps taken by Erika. He realized that the police report addressed to him was a form of an effort by a mother to protect her child.
However, DJ Panda hopes for a peaceful way. He promises to improve himself if Erika is willing to forgive and withdraw her report.
"I promise, if Erika gives me the opportunity to be able to reconcile and Erika withdraws her report, I will change into a better person in the future," said DJ Panda.
Closing his statement, DJ Panda thanked the big family of Erika Carlina who had been willing to open the door of communication to end this problem. He hopes this case can be a valuable lesson for himself and those around him.
DJ Panda's lawyer, Michael Sugijanto, said that his client's apology was not just a mere word but a sincerity from the heart.
"And why has DJ Panda, our client, been holding himself back from publicly apologizing? And what we know in fact is that the last time on Bang Denny Sumargo's podcast, yes, that was the first and last time. That means the apology is not just words," said Michael Sugijanto.
"Of course to forgive each other, especially to start asking for forgiveness, especially when each of them feels that he is right, it is not easy. But despite the difficulty of asking for forgiveness on the basis of the basics of what I mentioned earlier, today our client is here,"
