Accused of Using Drugs During Live, Talitha Curtis Takes Legal Action

Kapanlagi.com - Influencer Talitha Curtis took decisive action by pursuing legal channels after being accused of drug use by a netizen. Talitha explained that this decision was made because the comment was excessively outrageous and defamatory.

According to her, this was not just an ordinary insult that she could ignore. The comment from the netizen was no longer in the form of a question but rather a statement that directly accused her and had the potential to damage her reputation. She also revealed her reasons for firmly deciding to report the matter.

"Eh actually because maybe it has crossed the line, it has already steered opinions and it is not, not asking a question, but it is giving a statement like that. So because this has crossed the line, that's why I am taking legal action," said Talitha when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Friday (1/8/2025).

1. The Beginning of Talitha's Case

This incident began when Talitha was doing a live broadcast with a friend. Due to exhaustion after working from morning until morning again to save money, her appearance, which looked tired with red eyes, was used by netizens as a basis to launch cruel accusations.

"Yes, the incident happened, uh, when I woke up I was holding hands live with my friend, maybe because my eyes were still red and I had been live for 7 days from morning until morning again. So maybe from there he saw directly and made a statement like that," she said.

Initially, Talitha chose not to respond to the comments. However, the netizen only escalated and continued to make the same accusations, as if confirming his own slander. That moment made her furious and decided to take action.

"Then below there was another one, 'This is definitely fixed, use it,' like that. From there, I immediately opened his profile, I took a screenshot, I said, eh, it seems like I will take this to the legal route," she explained.

2. Attempted to Resolve Family-wise

Before firmly reporting, Talitha had actually tried to resolve this issue amicably through her legal counsel. Unfortunately, the reported party showed no goodwill to apologize, leaving her no choice but to proceed with legal action.

"Oh it's done, eh there has been mediation from my legal counsel. Eh my legal counsel has contacted him directly for his goodwill, an apology request. But it turns out he is not willing, eh does not want to show any goodwill or make an apology. That's why I am continuing this to a more serious level," she explained.

Despite that, she remains reluctant to disclose details about where the report was made, as she wants to protect her legal team's privacy. She only emphasized that all processes have now been fully entrusted to her lawyer.

"I can't talk because I'm also protecting my lawyer's privacy, you know. So for now, everything is entrusted to my lawyer. So just wait and see how it progresses," she concluded.
