Kapanlagi.com - Pinkan Mambo disagrees with her daughter's statement, MA, who recently revealed that she has been a victim of sexual abuse by Steve Wantania, her stepfather. In MA's statement to the media, Pinkan feels that what her daughter has said is character assassination against her.
As a result, many netizens accused Pinkan of not defending her daughter when Steve Wantania, who was her husband at the time, was allegedly involved in inappropriate behavior.
"I have 5 children, not just MA, so don't let (netizens) make the Indonesian society assassinate my character," Pinkan Mambo said in Kapten Tendean Street, Mampang, South Jakarta, on Monday (31/7/2023).
"Don't judge me, it's already difficult, it's like falling down the stairs and getting hit by a truck," Pinkan Mambo compared her current fate.

When her husband's alleged sexual harassment case was being heard in court, Pinkan appeared as a witness. Former duet partner of Maia Estianty, Pinkan considered it as evidence of accountability to her daughter.
"So I just wanted to clarify that I felt disadvantaged when the Supreme Court said I was not responsible, let alone defending. Impossible, my husband has already been punished. That is also my defense for my child," said Pinkan.
2. Embracing the Role as a Mother of 5 Children

Furthermore, Pinkan is still fulfilling her role as a mother by providing for her children.
"So what Michelle means is that she is the only one who speaks in my family, there are 4 others. If I am not responsible, it is impossible for these 4 to eat and go to school properly," Pinkan concluded.
