Ilene's confession stems from various things that have happened to her. One of the INTM contestants felt the pressure of maintaining her weight in the modeling world.

This led Ilene to engage in various unhealthy diet methods and experience stress. The stress she felt was a combination of not losing weight and bullying.

Ilene then sought help from a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with an eating disorder. Moreover, she also experienced insomnia and suicidal thoughts.

Still in the same post, Seribu Tujuan praises and expresses gratitude to Ilene for sharing her bitter story as a sufferer of eating disorder.

"Not everyone dares to talk about the mental illness they suffer from, let alone open up in front of national television. The judgment, stigma, and jokes received make the sufferers have to face those difficult times on their own," they wrote.

"Thank you, Ilene, for your courage to be open and share your journey. We know it's not easy to go through. Your courage greatly helps those out there facing the same thing," they continued.
