An Indonesian celebrity has closed her Twitter account following backlash against a heated message where she labeled infotainment television program crews as being “lower than prostitutes.”
Luna Maya, a television presenter, model and actress, apologized to her Twitter followers before closing her account permanently after the outburst.
“I’m sorry everyone for the unimportant tweet. I thank those of you who understand (my reasons) and for those who don’t, I apologize,” Luna wrote on her Twitter account on Wednesday.
Luna was believed to have written the harsh Twitter message after being mobbed by crew members of infotainment television shows after she attended the premiere of the film “Sang Perimpi” (“The Dreamer”) at EX Plaza in Central Jakarta on Tuesday night.
Luna, who is in a relationship with singer songwriter Ariel from the band Peterpan, was watching the film with Ariel’s daughter from a previous marriage, Alleia, and his father.
When Luna left the movie theater carrying Alleia, who had fallen asleep during the film, the actress alleged that one of the infotainment crew members bumped Alleia’s head with their camera in the jostle for photographs and interviews. Luna had allegedly already asked the infotainment reporters to wait in the lobby at EX Plaza where she would give an interview.
After the incident, Luna vented her anger on her Twitter account at midnight.
“Infotainment are LOWER than PROSTITUTES, MURDERERS!!!!! May your soul burn in hell!!!” she wrote on her account, @lunmay.
Her comments sparked backlash from her followers.
“Your language is getting more and more trashy, stupid, uneducated and shallow,” replied @bambangelf.
Luna then entered a verbal sparring match with some of her agrieved followers.
“@bambangelf, why do you care about my language!!!? You don’t even know me. Why do you care??” she wrote.
Luna closed her account on Wednesday morning. She had been tweeting since July 18 this year and had 123,952 followers.
