Dede Sunandar Admits to Cheating While at the Peak of His Career: Almost Forgot He Had a Wife

Dede realized that the feeling of being "on top of the world" became the main trigger for him to ignore the presence of his partner who had been with him from the beginning. He does not deny that this bad behavior is a form of a fatal mistake as a man and head of a family who is irresponsible.

This confession of past sins has now become a painful boomerang for the public image of this comedic character. The public has begun to throw various harsh comments regarding Dede's physical appearance, which is considered oblivious during his success.

"If being handsome and still cheating is bad, then what about being good-looking, oh God. It's just talk like that, I've been criticized in every way until my tour for the film was stopped," he said.

The man who once ran for a council member feels that the cancellation of his film promotion tour is a form of real social punishment. Dede has no intention whatsoever of damaging the work of the film production team due to the turmoil in his personal life that has heated up.

He chooses to resign himself to the loss of various golden opportunities in the professional world due to his own past mistakes. Dede also extends a sincere apology to the agency that has provided full support for the smoothness of his career.

Now, the marriage that has lasted for 12 years with Karen Hertatum seems truly beyond saving by anyone. Dede must let his wife leave the house and return to her parents' embrace in search of their own happiness.

He fully surrenders this very valuable life lesson to the will of the Creator for the future of his three beloved children. Dede hopes that no fellow artists will fall into the same pit of destruction due to momentary arrogance.
