1. Ressa Asks for 7 Billion from Denada

"The second point, so the plaintiff is asking for something that is not in line with what was said in the podcast, just asking for recognition, that's it. I can prove it, yes, in the lawsuit, several recognitions were requested regarding this 7M issue. In the mediation summary, the plaintiff still asked for 7M," said Muhammad Iqbal, Thursday (29/1/2026).

2. Denada's Side Feels Ressa Has Other Motives

This difference in statements is what makes Denada's side feel there are other motives behind the lawsuit. Denada's legal counsel even openly stated that this situation is starting to look like a forced drama for the sake of that amount of money.

"So not mentioning in the podcast, they said they only wanted recognition as a child, not all of that. I think it feels like a 7M drama over time," he said.

3. Denada Does Not Mind the Recognition

Muhammad Iqbal also emphasized that the status of recognition is not the main issue for his client. He claims that all this time Denada has fulfilled her obligations as a responsible figure in Ressa Rizky's life since childhood.

4. Denada Funds Ressa

"The issue of whether to acknowledge or not is like this, I underline the issue of this child. Ms. Denada is not just about acknowledging or not acknowledging Mas Ressa, it’s not just about being recognized as a child, but also being funded, facilitated, and educated. But suddenly there’s this lawsuit, which is also strange," Iqbal explained.

5. Denada Never Denied Ressa's Status

According to her legal counsel, Denada herself has never made a statement denying Ressa's status. This contrasts with the narrative that has circulated among netizens and on social media.

6. Denada Has Never Failed to Acknowledge Ressa's Status

"Ms. Denada has never failed to acknowledge Ressa as her child. I want to emphasize that. That's why I was surprised yesterday in the podcast with Mr. Densu, if I'm not mistaken, only asking for acknowledgment. In this document, the mediation resume, she still asks for 7 billion," concluded Muhammad Iqbal.
