Prilly Latuconsina Shares Stories About How to Escape a Toxic Relationship

In the event, Prilly Latuconsina, who plays the character Tari in the film BSSK, shared her personal views on toxic relationships. She emphasized that someone who is truly good for us will not make us feel inferior or lose our self-confidence.

"If you are with that person and you want to hide your strengths, it means they are not the right person for you. But if you meet someone who motivates you to be better, then that is the right person. Because I have truly experienced both. A green flag person, no matter how we are, will find a way for us to be confident and feel good about ourselves," said Prilly.

Besides Prilly, Dominique Sanda, who plays Devi in the film, also shared her experience. She admitted to being trapped in a toxic relationship and emphasized the importance of having a support system to help someone rise from that situation.

"I have also been in a toxic relationship. It is really hard and takes a long time to say, 'That's enough. I have to get out of here.' So, there needs to be someone we can really hold on to, someone we can trust, someone we can rely on to help us get out of that toxic relationship," said Dominique.

According to Fania Khamada, Head of Partnership at Kitabisa, this activity was initiated together with Kawanpuan and the cast of the film BSSK as a form of concern for the issue of toxic relationships. This support circle aims to provide a safe space for anyone who is struggling, so they do not feel alone.

"We understand that getting out of a toxic relationship is not easy. This support circle is a manifestation of our concern and support for everyone who is struggling with this, to strengthen each other and not feel like they are fighting alone," explained Fania.

According to a survey by Jakpat.net in 2023, 64.3% of respondents in Indonesia reported having experienced a toxic relationship with a partner. Additionally, 44.3% of respondents mentioned having toxic experiences with friends, 25.5% with coworkers, 22.7% with family, and 14% with close friends. This data shows that toxic relationships are a widespread issue that requires serious attention.  

The film "Bolehkah Sekali Saja Kumenangis" carries a significant message about the courage to leave unhealthy relationships. Through support circle activities, the cast of this film hopes to inspire many people to seek support, rise up, and fight against toxicity in their relationships.
