SARWENDAH CERITAKAN VERSINYA…
Main summary
Key takeaways
Overview
The video is an extended public discussion/podcast that addresses multiple controversies involving Sarwendah, Ruben, and related parties—especially around:
- Parenting disputes / children’s meeting access
- Accusations of “pesugihan” (black magic) connected to the Gunung Kawi filming location
- Money disputes and asset/house division after separation/divorce
1) Family dispute and miscommunication about children
Sarwendah argues that the core issue became public due to repeated communication problems with Ruben—unclear responses or unanswered messages—particularly regarding:
- scheduling visits,
- children’s events and milestones,
- birthday/event planning.
Sarwendah’s claims
She states she never previously forbade Ruben from meeting the children. Instead, she alleges Ruben:
- did not reply or replied unclearly,
- changed phone numbers without informing her,
- failed to confirm plans for birthdays/events (she describes multiple attempts to coordinate, including around children’s birthdays and later months),
- sometimes only responded at the last minute (e.g., claiming he had a shoot).
Response to online interpretation
Sarwendah says online audiences misinterpreted her actions. She describes how she began messaging more openly, which she claims was wrongly framed as suddenly “interfering.” Her position is that she did so to respond to poor coordination and to protect the children’s comfort and routines.
Involvement of lawyers and child protection
She emphasizes the involvement of lawyers and states she wanted private resolution for the sake of the children, not escalation.
Children’s emotional wellbeing
She also discusses the children’s mental/emotional wellbeing, including context related to psychologists/therapy, and stresses that conflicts between adults affect them—especially with their sensitivity to news/social media.
2) Accusations of black magic / “pesugihan” linked to Gunung Kawi
A separate track in the discussion covers rumors that Sarwendah (or people connected to her) conducted black magic/“pesugihan” rituals at Gunung Kawi during filming.
Sarwendah and the caretaker/crew narrative
They argue:
- there were no black-magic practices,
- the activities were framed as customary permission/traditions tied to filming—e.g., permission procedures and traditional offerings/food such as yellow rice as part of local custom,
- many social media clips were edited or misinterpreted, becoming misleading viral “evidence.”
Professional filming context
A caretaker/crew voice (along with Sarwendah’s explanation) emphasizes professionalism:
- they visited the location for a shoot,
- they were guided through filming sites,
- they did not perform rituals in the superstitious/sacrifice manner the rumors claim.
Additional claim about “sacrifice” stories
The discussion also references that stories about “sacrifice rituals” are interpreted as deception or misunderstanding, and that prior claims about Sarwendah’s involvement are inaccurate.
3) Money disputes: children’s living expenses + asset/house division
Children’s support amounts
The video addresses public claims about large maintenance figures (automatically captioned as “R00 million / 280 million”).
Sarwendah says amounts circulating online were exaggerated or taken out of context by netizens.
She claims she maintains a detailed system for children’s needs and education, including:
- tutoring/lessons,
- ballet,
- costs tied to competitions/events.
She argues costs can fluctuate month to month depending on children’s needs, schooling, and activities. She also maintains the broader issue was not only money, but also lack of smooth communication.
House/asset dispute after separation
Sarwendah presents the house/asset disagreement as rooted in:
- asset division and custody rights discussed with lawyers/notaries,
- the house/certificate being tied up in bank collateral,
- a later “arrears / auction warning letter” concerning the bank loan.
She describes her role as attempting to resolve bank issues and pay what she believes is due to protect the legacy of her late father’s final construction/house.
She also argues Ruben’s lawyer and media narratives were inconsistent with what was agreed through notary processes.
Key conflict point: debt clarity and shifting narratives
A major conflict point she raises:
- she claims she was not given clear details about debts/remaining balances,
- she says changing narratives emerged when she tried to resolve it through formal channels.
Debt collector communications clarification
The discussion includes a claim that some bank communications about “debt collectors” were not actually from the bank for the housing debt. Instead, it is said to relate to an unrelated car loan collector issue.
4) Debt collector incident used in the public controversy
Sarwendah recounts that after separation, debt collectors arrived at her home while she was live.
She says the collectors were asking about a credit car (Range Rover) allegedly connected to Ruben’s name—not hers.
She claims multiple contacts/answers were confusing, including mentions of assistant statements and phone number changes. She also says the incident caused severe panic and anxiety, especially because the children were present.
This incident is presented as part of why the situation escalated and why Sarwendah moved to report/handle accusations through lawyers and formal processes.
5) Reputational harm and reporting accusations online
Sarwendah says she was hurt by slander and insults spreading online, including claims that she:
- performed “sacrifice”/“pesugihan,”
- used profanity and engaged in offensive behavior,
- “sold herself,”
- made insinuations involving “buzzer”/money transfer narratives.
She says her mother and family urged her to report these issues through a lawyer.
Throughout, she repeatedly emphasizes:
- she did not do “pesugihan/black magic,”
- she wants disputes resolved privately if possible,
- public escalation harms the children most,
- she regrets inappropriate public behavior and aims to improve her conduct as a role model.
Core theme: prioritize child wellbeing and avoid public hostility.
6) Mediation and desired outcome
The video concludes with a focus on mediation outcomes. Sarwendah states that a judge-mediator required confidentiality for mediation requests.
Overall, both parties are urged to:
- resolve issues,
- stop making the children a battleground.
Netizens are also asked to pray and avoid further hostile narratives.
