Karen Hertatum Reveals Dede Sunandar's Domestic Violence Trauma in Front of Children

Small misunderstandings often end with an explosion of great emotions from the man she has been married to for 12 years. This turmoil is even more heartbreaking because the acts of violence reportedly occurred in front of their child directly.

Karen felt very devastated when her first child actually tried to provide physical protection during the incident. This shows how horrific the situation Karen had to face in her own home was. "Even he was protecting me at that moment, from... the demon within him that hit me," Karen said with a voice that trembled greatly.

Karen's mental condition appeared very fragile and unstable as she recounted the bitter memory in front of the media. She repeatedly hugged herself due to the severe trauma that continues to haunt her mind to this day.

Karen strongly denied the accusations that her marital problems were merely a gimmick to boost the popularity of her latest film. She felt insulted that the emotional suffering she experienced was considered just a scenario for economic interests.

"Crazy! No setting up!" stated the woman in her 30s firmly while responding to negative comments from netizens on social media.

This mother of three then cried hysterically when the shadow of violence suddenly resurfaced in her memory. Karen also apologized to the media colleagues for being unable to contain the overwhelming rush of traumatic emotions that felt so suffocating. "I remember him again... Oh dear... oh dear... I'm sorry..." Karen expressed while covering her face with deep sadness.

Karen chose to focus on the process of inner healing and seek new happiness for the growth of her children in the future. She already felt very tired and did not want to maintain the completely shattered relationship any longer.
