JAKARTA - The big name of Rossa as an Indonesian diva was disturbed by the circulation of manipulative content that said she failed to undergo plastic surgery. Feeling that her good name was tarnished, the management revealed that Rossa had a mental disorder due to the unfounded insults.
"You can imagine how a person wakes up in the morning and then the social media that appears on his cellphone is swarming with something that is not based on facts. So the psychological loss has already occurred psychologically," said M. Ikhsan Tualeka in South Jakarta, Monday, April 13.
Natalia Rusli explained that the content circulating was the result of a "stitching" video that was manipulated to form a negative opinion. He emphasized that Rossa's appearance change was purely due to makeup techniques, not due to a failed plastic surgery.
"For example, Ms. Rossa had a failed operation, even though it was not true. She is an artist, she has a makeup artist who follows trends. It can't be said that it was a wrong operation or it was ugly because the perspective of beauty is different," explained Natalia.
Ikhsan Tualeka added that this slander felt very painful for Rossa who had built his career with great difficulty for three decades in the Indonesian music industry.
"He has built a career for more than 30 years, then people spread false news as if he had failed to perform an operation. As public figures we can be criticized, but if it is slander, of course we have to straighten it out," said Ikhsan.
Management emphasized that Rossa is not a figure who is anti-critical. However, they cannot tolerate when criticism turns into slander that aims to lower someone's dignity in order to pursue the number of viewers or engagement.
"Mbak Rossa could not have become as big as she is today if she were anti-critical. But let's use social media as a venue for constructive criticism, not as a pansos venue by using the name of an Indonesian diva," continued Natalia Rusli.
Although he felt disadvantaged, Rossa is said to still have a wise heart by giving netizens the opportunity to apologize before being actually reported.
"Mbak Rossa doesn't want to make a fuss or intimidate her beloved netizen friends. That's why we gave them a good solution first through this summons so that they realize it," added Natalia.
Through his legal team, Rossa advised the public to be smarter in filtering information.
"This is a lesson. It's not easy for someone to elevate himself to the level of a diva, and suddenly we use our thumbs to destroy his reputation," concluded Natalia Rusli.
