JAKARTA - Nabilah O'Brien's fight to get justice from the report filed by guitarist Zendhy Kusuma and his wife, Evi Santi regarding the alleged defamation is now entering a new, more intense phase.

After being strangely named a suspect, his party is now ready to carry out a massive legal "resistance".

Nabilah's lawyer, Goldie Natasya Swarovski, confirmed that they would take all possible legal channels.

"If asked what legal efforts, we will all try for our clients," he said in South Jakarta, Friday, March 6.

One of the most concrete steps they will take is to file a pretrial lawsuit. The goal is clear, namely to cancel the status of a suspect that has been pinned to his client.

"We will take all possible steps to cancel the status of our client's suspect," said Goldie.

In addition to the legal path, they will also take this case to the political arena. Nabilla's party will fulfill the call from Commission III of the Indonesian House of Representatives to expose all the irregularities they feel.

"We are very grateful to the Chairman of Commission III, Mr. Habiburokhman, for listening directly to what is happening," he said.

They have also officially written to the Wassidik Bureau of the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police to request a special case title.

Not only that, the alleged "game" in the investigation process has also been conveyed to the Professional and Security Division (Paminal) of the National Police.

The case that ensnared Nabilah O'Brien began with an alleged theft of food at her restaurant in Kemang, South Jakarta, but then developed into two legal cases that exchanged reports.

On September 19, 2025, Zendhy and Evi came to Nabilah's restaurant. They ordered 14 food and drinks.

In the process, they are said to have entered the kitchen area, made a commotion, then left without paying around Rp530 thousand.

Nabilah then uploaded the CCTV footage of the incident to social media to warn other business owners. The video went viral and sparked public attention.

Then, there were two different reports, the first was Nabilah's report. He reported the couple to the Mampang Prapatan Police for alleged theft (Article 363 of the Criminal Code). The police then named the couple as suspects.

Not stopping there, Zendhy and Evi reported Nabilah to the Criminal Investigation Unit of the National Police. With the accusation of defamation and violation of the ITE Law for uploading CCTV footage to social media.
