In addition to the news about the case of Brigadier Joshua's murder and the riots at the Kanjuruhan Stadium in Malang. News about the act of domestic violence that was experienced by a public figure Lesti Kejora also caught the attention of the Indonesian people, especially mothers who really loved the couple Lesti Kejora and Rizky Billar, or better known as Leslar.
This case is also widely discussed in the midst of big cases. Not kidding, in some of the circulating footage, Lesti looks not well, such as bruises on her face and others. Various supports were voiced for the figure of Lesti Kejora who received various forms of violence while having a family with Rizky Billar. Many parties strongly oppose the so-called Domestic Violence.
This case also made Rizky Billar criticized everywhere and boycotted television shows. Many of his close friends, relatives do not believe this. In addition to being criticized and boycotted, the Gorgeous Dad award for Rizky Billar was finally suspended by the 2022 Infotainment Awards.
Because the news of the Leslar family's domestic violence was highlighted, if you write down the keyword on google the name "Lesti" a search will appear that reads "Lesti is strangled, Lesti is smackdown". This often invites laughter from Indonesian citizens.
LAWIT WAS REVOLVED
There was no wind, after a series of problems and polemics in the management of this domestic violence case, suddenly Lesti Kejora withdrew her lawsuit against her husband, Rizky Billar.
This immediately shocked the netizens, especially the fans who always faithfully support their idol, Lesti Kejora.
Not long ago, a petition about the boycott of Lesti Kejora surfaced. In a petition made by an account named Leli Purwanti, she explained that the withdrawal of the domestic violence claim by Lesti could have a long impact on people's lives, which is feared that there will be a normalization of domestic violence in a family.
This reason is explained because we know that the figure of Lesti Kejora is highly admired and used as a role model by some Indonesian people. Where it is feared that people who idolize Lesti will imitate them excessively.
"It is better for him not to appear on TV again and not be used as a role model for the community," the petition said, quoted from CNNIndonesia.com, Sunday (16/10/22).
The community also felt disappointed with Lesti Kejora's decision, especially in his previous statement, Rizky Billar said that he did not commit violence against his wife once or twice. They considered that the criminal punishment would deter the husband from repeating it again.
"Please cancel culture, for netizens if there are artists who want them to be banned. Rizky Billar is banned for domestic violence, Lesti Kejora is banned too, so that it doesn't become a bad example if domestic violence can be forgiven by withdrawing the report," said one netizen on Twitter, Thursday (13/10/22).
On the other hand, people also think about how Lesti Kejora's father feels, whose favorite daughter must be willing to be hurt by her husband, who in fact used to be a foreigner.
Lesti revealed that she and Billar had made an agreement, and her husband promised not to do it again.
Apart from all that, Lesti is also an ordinary person, we should not be arbitrary in judging someone, for people who idolize Lesti, it is okay to be disappointed, but there are limits. Don't let it just because our idol has a problem, it interferes with our lives.
If someone we idolize is having problems in their life, we should be able to take lessons so we don't become like them, just them, we don't.
