"Yes, from the BSA side, they are helping right, Sir? Helping in the legal matters because Dede really doesn’t know about the law, since after leaving Star Media Nusantara, Dede has no management anymore, possibly the lawyer or legal support is through... yes, through here, as legal as Dede is like that," said Dede Sunandar when met in the Sunter area, North Jakarta, Thursday (11/6/2026).

Dede explained that his current economic condition is trying to recover from downturn. He even admitted to being confused about what could be shared with his wife if the court inquired about joint assets.

"There’s nothing, Bang. What is there to divide? There’s no house, no car, what am I supposed to be confused about dividing?" he said.

1. Unreasonable

Dede's insistence on wanting to maintain the household is also evident from his refusal to finance the divorce legal process. He feels it is unreasonable if
he has to spend money on something he actually wants to avoid.

"The thing is, just yesterday he asked. Actually, I asked during this time, 'You should help,' he said. 'How can I help with the divorce using my money,' Vicky said to Dede like that," he said.

2. Karen Wants to Separate from the House Soon

Vicky Prasetyo, who accompanies Dede, also provided information regarding Karen's desire to move out of her parents' house soon. He mentioned that Karen longs for her own place so she no longer has to stay at Dede's family's house.

"Karen wants a house to get out of her parents' house. No, otherwise, this is watching the Minister of Housing, you help Dede, Sir. That's basically asking to separate from the Bangka house whether for rent or whatever," said Vicky.

3. Ask Your Wife to Be Patient

Dede admitted that he is not able to fulfill that request in the near future due to limited financial conditions. He hopes his wife can be a bit patient while he continues to work to seek halal sustenance.

"Be patient for now, we are working hard, so it won't be easy to find that much money immediately. It's not like before when I had hundreds of millions, now alhamdulillah there is just enough for sustenance for the children, for food, for snacks," he said.

"Well, I don't have it, to be honest. Honestly, I don't have it for this, I said that. But if it's for us together again, there will definitely be something," he concluded. Divorce from Karen Hertatum
