Has any of you ever heard of the Manohara Odelia Pinot case? Well, I only heard of it recently (that’s yesterday), and I was shocked and appalled by the case.
I’ve heard of the name Manohara Pinot a few times, she’s an Indonesian socialite FYI, and she was born in 1992 (means she’s only 17 now). What’s so special about this socialite? Well, apart from the fact that she’s friggin loaded (she has a Hermes Birkin bag at the age of 13, probably? Lucky beeyootch), she’s also good looking and she is a model (I hate her even more. Seriously, models do not need to study and yet still able to earn thousands of dollars by just walking on the runway and doing some photoshoots, whereas me and a lot others, have to study like a slave and it’s not guaranteed that we would earn as much as they do).
This is her :

But here comes the gruesome story. I’m just gonna copy this off her Wikipedia page, since I believe Wikipedia does better explaining than I do.
Manohara gained widespread attention from the Indonesian media in mid April 2009 when her mother, Daisy Fajarina, alleged that Tengku Fakhry, Malaysian Kelantanese prince and Manohara’s husband, abducted Manohara.
Manohara met Tengku Fakhry in December 2006 at a dinner held by the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia. The prince fell in love with Manohara and told the 15-year-old Manohara that he wanted to have a serious relationship with her. Given his courteous manner of address and noble background, Daisy Fajarina assented to the courtship. Despite some problems such as the absence of wali nikah (legal witness) and no legal letter from the Indonesian Embassy, Tengku Fakhry married 16-year-old Manohara in Malaysia on 26 August 2008.
During her stay in Kelantan, Manohara was said to have endured physical and mental abuses from her husband. As a result, she surreptitiously returned to Indonesia via Singapore. Tengku’s attempts to win her back have been unsuccessful. He purchased a car for Manohara as a birthday gift in February 2009, and also invited Manohara, her mother and her half sister for umroh pilgrimage to Mecca. On the 9th of March 2009 after the pilgrimage in Mecca, Manohara’s mother and Dewi Sri Asih (Manohara’s half sister) were left at an airport in Mecca. Daisy pleaded with the Indonesian government and Indonesian Commission of Human Rights for help to get her abducted daughter back.
The issue gained greater attention when Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak dodged questions about the alleged abduction of Manohara by the Malaysian prince as he met Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in Jakarta on 23 April 2009. The mother of the missing model held a press conference at the National Commission on Violence Against Women in Jakarta. She complained that Malaysian authorities had stopped her going to Malaysia to check on her daughter’s condition. The circumstances have been compared to the case of Altantuya Shaariibu. The Indonesian government demanded an explanation from the Malaysian government as to why an Indonesian woman was denied entry to see her daughter amid claims of abuse by her husband of Malaysian royalty.
On Sunday, 31 May 2009 Manohara escaped Kelantan Sultan’s authority in Singapore and returned to Indonesia with her mother. Manohara and Kelantan royal family were in Singapore to accompany Sultan of Kelantan as he sought medical treatment there. Daisy Fajarina was in Singapore to meet her daughter, and Manohara called her to tell her the name of hotel where she was staying. When Manohara tried to escape the hotel, Kelantan bodyguards attempted to stop her on the 3rd floor where the Sultan was staying. In distress, Manohara pressed the elevator emergency button to attract the attention of hotel security and the local authorities. Noticing the CCTV (security cameras) in the elevator and the hotel corridor, Kelantan bodyguards withheld the use of force to retain Manohara in the elevator. Manohara tried to contact the Indonesian Embassy in Singapore for help, but was refused because there were no Indonesian embassy officials present on a Sunday. As her father is a US citizen, she then attempted to contact the US Embassy and was successful in procuring their immediate assistance. Her mother was able to follow the commotion and find her daughter on the third floor of the hotel. Under diplomatic protection, Manohara reached Changi Airport and finally succeeded in returning to Indonesia with her mother. At a TV press conference on 31 May 2009, Manohara confirmed her mother’s allegations that her husband, Tengku Fakhry, had abused her both emotionally and physically. Manohara also stated that she would not return to Kelantan, also expressing her willingness to file for divorce from Tengku Fakhry.
Friggin drama, right? I read off somewhere that apparently, the prince raped her when she was 15-year-old (that is before he married her, I suspect that she was forced to marry him since he raped her). And prior to meeting the prince, she dated Adrie Bakrie (related to some multimillionaire business tycoon Aburizal Bakrie, probably the richest man in Indonesia) for a year. FYI, Adrie Bakrie is also a grown man!!
This if fucking idiotic. In my opinion, it all happened because of her mum. What kind of mum would let a 30-year-old man to approach her 15-year-old daughter? Who cares if he’s a prince? He’s still twice her age! Same goes to the Adrie Bakrie case, who cares if he’s fucking rich? He’s too old for her!
What’s more fishy is, there were pictures of Daisy and Manohara clubbing in Bali circulating in the internet. When asked, Daisy replied “It’s better for me to go clubbing with Mano rather than her going alone with her friends.” In the pictures, Daisy is seen not wearing veil, unlike she usually does when appearing in medias.
Question to Daisy is, how the hell did you let your 15-year-old daughter go into a room with a man twice her age JUST THE TWO OF THEM and let him RAPE her when you don’t even let her go clubbing with her friends!
Drama much?
The mum must be some gold digger. I mean, doesn’t she have more integrity than that? “Selling” your own daughter for fortune is just friggin low. Poor Manohara.
It’s really scary on how people are willing to sink THAT low for money. Don’t you think so?
