The Controversy of Medina Zein Continues: From Branded Bag Business to Legal Issues

Kapanlagi.com - Medina Zein, a celebrity influencer and young entrepreneur, is now in the public spotlight after being reported by Marissya Icha to the Metro Jaya Police for alleged defamation related to the buying and selling of branded bags. This case adds to the long list of controversies surrounding Medina, who was previously known as a successful entrepreneur in various business sectors, from skincare to pilgrimage travel.

Since gaining widespread recognition, Medina has attracted public attention not only for her achievements but also for a number of controversial actions. Initially, Medina was a businesswoman in the health sector and experienced at the Midwifery Academy Stikes Budi Luhur, Bandung, but she is now better known as a hijab-wearing influencer active on social media. Here are some more detailed news:

1. Feud with Uci Flowdea

The first notable feud was between Medina Zein and socialite Uci Flowdea, which began from a transaction involving the sale of a branded bag. Uci felt wronged after receiving a fake bag and reported Medina to the Surabaya Polrestabes. In a fit of anger, Medina threatened to take extreme actions against Uci, which led to Medina being reported for alleged violations of Article 335 of the Penal Code and Article 27 paragraph 4 juncto Article 45 of the ITE Law.

“After that report, Medina's status escalated to being a suspect, although she later apologized to the public,” said a reliable source. This action created a wave of reactions on social media, where many netizens criticized Medina's attitude.

2. Conflict with Zaskia Sungkar

Medina's conflict did not stop there. She was also involved in a feud with artist Zaskia Sungkar and Laudya Chintya Bella. This issue began when Medina suffered losses in her umrah travel business in 2018 and was forced to sell several luxury bags. However, allegations that the bags were counterfeit or fake emerged, causing Medina to face public criticism.

Zaskia even held a press conference to clarify that she had once been offered counterfeit bags by Medina. “I felt the need to explain to the public to avoid misunderstandings,” Zaskia revealed.

3. Caught in Drug Abuse

At the end of 2019, Medina Zein once again shocked the public with her arrest related to a drug case. She tested positive for amphetamines and had to undergo rehabilitation for three months. Medina defended herself by claiming that her consumption of amphetamines was due to tranquilizers to cope with the bipolar condition she experienced.

“I inherited this condition from my mother,” she said, although her mother denied the claim. This controversy further tarnished Medina's image in the eyes of the public.

4. Entangled in Debt with Rachel Vennya

The debt issue also became part of Medina's controversial journey. Rachel Vennya, her business partner, expressed frustration on social media because Medina had not returned her money. This drew the attention of netizens, who began to suspect Medina's finances.

Citra Kirana also added that Medina owed her money, reinforcing the notion that Medina's financial problems were quite serious. "I just want clarity, and that is my hope," said Rachel.

5. Feuding with Uya Kuya

The latest controversy comes from the feud with Uya Kuya. Uya feels deceived after discovering that the transfer proof received by him and Denise Chariesta has the same reference number. He claims he did not receive the money he was supposed to, even though Medina sent a substantial amount of money.

"Medina is a master of drama in real life," Uya sneered. This adds to the long list of feuds involving Medina, making many people question her integrity as a businesswoman and influencer.
