Ria Ricis Manager Gives Reasons for Continuing Shooting, Didiet Maulana: Do You Think the Virus is Afraid of a Permit

Kapanlagi.com - Fashion designer Didiet Maulana condemns the actions of Ria Ricis and her crew who continue to shoot outdoors despite the social distancing advisory. Initially, Didiet learned about the viral actions of the YouTuber from an Insta Story of a friend named Henny Myranda, a resident of the complex where Ria Ricis was shooting and felt disturbed.

After seeing the Insta Story, Didiet immediately asked the person involved about the matter. According to Henny Myranda's statement, the people shooting in the complex are not local residents, causing anxiety among the residents amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

"I asked, I asked directly. Then he said yes, Diet, this person has been told several times but they are very stubborn. Yesterday at 11 am, the townhouse area was being disinfected. Then after that, he said many people came to shoot with their crews. People from outside who are not residents of the townhouse." That makes us worried, because we don't know if the virus sticks to us, we don't know if the virus is invisible. We feel healthy now, but if they can become carriers, it's not good," said Didiet Maulana when contacted by phone on Tuesday (24/3).

When asked about the shooting, Ria Ricis' manager explained that the crew had obtained permission from the head of the neighborhood. Responding to this statement, Didiet said that currently it is an emergency situation and the virus is not afraid of the permit they have. The public must be alert and adjust their behavior to the current situation.

"I don't know how many there are. It seems like she also mentioned it on Twitter. She said there are many. But how many exactly, whether it's one or ten or twenty or how many, she just said 'but we already have permission from the head of the neighborhood'. In a critical emergency like this, carrying a permit, do you think the virus is afraid of a permit? This means that the situation is critical, so our behavior must also be critical. We can't use that kind of approach anymore. What do you want to say? The manager also responded with the main point that they have the permit," Didiet Maulana firmly said.

2. Sama-Sama Jaga Keselamatan

In the midst of this very dangerous pandemic, Didiet urges everyone to take care of their health and not make excuses. In addition to the shooting done by Ria Ricis, Didiet also regrets the way the sensational YouTuber shapes her followers who fiercely defend their idol.

"For me, denial is not important now. We have to take care of each other's safety because it's very dangerous. She has shaped her followers' thinking, just read their comments," said Didiet Maulana.

3. Strong Appeal

Not only directed at Ria Ricis, it turns out that Didiet Maulana's IG TV video is also aimed at agencies and production houses that continue to carry out production activities outside the studio. According to Didiet, this would be different if the shooting process was done inside the studio with careful preparation.

"This is a strong appeal. I have never been this serious with anyone, but this is a strong appeal. This may not only touch her, but also the agencies and production houses that are still producing outside. It's a different story if it's done in the studio. It's a different story because it's already conditioned," continued Didiet Maulana.
