JAKARTA - After being reported on suspicions of domestic violence (KDRT), Rizal Djibran's wife, Sarah, tried to reveal some of his behavior.

The wife he just married last year called Rizal a person with a high temperament. Not only that but he is also said to often come home drunk after drinking liquor.

Responding to what was conveyed by Sarah, Rizal's attorney, Mila Ayu Dewata Sari, and Fourista Handayanto denied what was being accused of their client. Here are 4 rebuttals from Rizal Djibran's lawyers.

Not Emotional Anymore

Fourista implicitly stated that his client used to have a high temper, but that had changed after marrying Sarah. Not only as a lawyer, but as a friend, Fourista also saw changes happening to Rizal.

"As far as we know, Mr. Rizal has changed his personality a lot since before he got married. Then when he decided to get married he started to change. We, as his friends, see it that way," said Fourista Handayanto at B7 Production, South Jakarta, Monday, 20 February 2023.

"There have been a lot of changes, in terms of temperament, if we see him as a friend, his emotions have gone down more," he continued.

Worship a lot

Mila also said that in matters of worship, Rizal is now much more obedient. The lawyer admitted that she had known Rizal for a long time, and stated that she had seen for herself that her friend had gotten better.

Never see him drunk

Regarding the accusation that Rizal often came home drunk, Mila did not comment much. She felt she never saw it directly, so she couldn't say whether her client's wife's confession was true or false.

"What I know myself as apart from being a lawyer, I am also a friend of Rizal Djibran. What I know is this, we all know that when someone works in the entertainment world, one cannot go home from 5 pm or 4 pm like an office job. So, for example, when I go home until dawn, I can understand that. We all also feel that working in entertainment is one of those risks. When I come home drunk and so on, I can't give any statement when I don't see it in person," concluded Mila.

Sexual Deviance is Personal Domain 

Mila said that Sarah acted unwisely by exposing problems in her household. The lawyer herself did not answer emphatically regarding her client who was said to have committed sexual deviance.

"For those with sexual deviations, I cannot say that it was wrong or right. Let this be the realm of law that proves sexual deviation. This is related to household issues, right? It's not wise if I convey what actually happened," Mila told the media crew at B7 Production, South Jakarta on Monday, February 20, 2023 afternoon.

Furthermore, Mila assessed that even from a religious point of view, she was prohibited from disclosing what she called her "client's disgrace". "That is the realm of the household and personal, even in terms of religion I am not allowed to reveal other people's disgrace, especially since this is someone else's household. Because the household itself is not allowed to be opened in public. So let Mr. Rizal and Mrs. Sarah deliver directly and that must be in front of investigators," she concluded.
