Model Arif Edison Claims to be a Victim of Harassment During a Photoshoot

Kapanlagi.com - Shocking confession came from model Arif Edison. He claimed to have been sexually harassed during a photo session in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, some time ago by a makeup artist.

At that time, in the middle of a wide hill, there was no room for him to change clothes. As a result, he had to change clothes covered in cloth. Because he couldn't do it alone. He asked for the help of his makeup artist.

“Yes, at the beginning of the incident, I was preparing to follow a photo shoot at Bukit Merese, Lombok. The location is near Mandalika beach and at that time, I had to change costumes where there was no room to change clothes, ” said the owner of the Instagram account @arifedisoncai.

“A kind of cloth had to be prepared, a cloth that encircled the body for changing pants. Because if it's a top, there's no problem, ” he continued.

The costume he was wearing was also complicated to use alone. By asking for the help of a makeup artist, he hoped that the costume for the photo session could be used properly and correctly.

"The costume is really traditional fabric which of course the way to wear it must be assisted by a makeup artist," he said.

2. Touching Genitals & Saying Inappropriate Words

This is where the harassment occurred. Suddenly and intentionally, the makeup artist touched Arif Edison's genitals. Not only did he touch it repeatedly, the makeup artist also said inappropriate words.

"So the makeup artist saw my skin and said, 'wow your skin is white, very nice. I can't hold back my desire,' he said that. Finally, intentionally touching the genital area repeatedly, there was no consent, no apology and no permission," said the man who works as a lawyer.

3. Shocked and Traumatized

At that time, Arif Edison couldn't say anything. He was shocked and traumatized when the makeup artist harassed him. At that time, he couldn't escape because he wasn't wearing clothes.

"I, who at that time was not wearing clothes, certainly couldn't do anything, right? Running away would also be strange, so I had to accept it. But until now, he doesn't know that I work as a lawyer," said Arif Edison.
