Mentally Affected, Miss Universe Indonesia Finalists Experience Trauma Due To Body Checking
JAKARTA - Several finalists for Miss Universe Indonesia (MUID) are said to have experienced trauma due to irregularities that occurred during body checks or body checks.
Rizky Ananda, a former Provincial Director of Miss Universe Indonesia Bali, said that two finalists from the Island of the Gods had been mentally affected because they were photographed during body checks.
"So there were two Balinese children who were photographed. It was very inappropriate because he got mentally, until he cried, until he trembled," said Rizky Ananda in Mampang Prapatan, South Jakarta on Wednesday, August 9.
Rizky said the condition of his students was getting worse because they had to face bullying from netizens on social media.
Many netizens blamed the victim for not trying to fight back when asked to take off their clothes.
"Now his son is sick. Because he was bullied too," said Rizky Ananda.
Meanwhile, Sally Giovanny as the former Provincial Director of Miss Universe Indonesia West Java said that the treatment of the organizers during body checks was the cause of several finalists falling mentally.

"Recovered, the bra is opened, they cover (the chest) and then get scolded, 'Open! Open! Don't cover it up! You don't need to be ashamed because if for example you are swallowed up abroad', he said that," said Sally Giovanny.
For what happened to several MUID finalists, Rizky Ananda asked the public, especially netizens, not to blame the victims for what had happened. He considered that finalists could not do much when asked to be naked and photographed.
"Well, this is what I want to convey to the public, don't let the people's mindset say 'Why don't you just refuse?'. Try your position under the power of attorney, those children can't do anything else," concluded Rizky Ananda.
For information, a finalist for Miss Universe Indonesia with the initials NL has reported PT Capella Swastika Karya as the license holder for Miss Universe Indonesia at Polda Metro Jaya on Monday, August 7.
