During a judging panel,
Ilene (who later won the cycle) shared her battle with
depression and
eating disorder in response to
Luna Maya's question about her photoshoot concept in
Anyer beach.
Deddy Corbuzier then cut off Ilene's story by saying "Depression? [...] You're pretty, you're a model. You're also tall, sexy, and smart. If you're depressed, you're insulting the
martabak (stuffed pancake) vendor in front of my house.” Luna also said "I really like eating, so [do I have an] eating disorder?" These remarks were met with backlash from the viewers and general public who believed their remarks were obtuse and insensitive to the issue of
mental disorder. Videos of their remarks went
viral on
social media, in which many took to
Twitter and
Instagram to express their disapproval and also sympathy for Ilene, Felicia Hutapea, the daughter of lawyer
Hotman Paris Hutapea also openly criticized Luna and Deddy in her Instagram story, in which Luna responded through
direct message that "everyone went through depression" and that [25-year-old Felicia] was "such a child". Luna and Deddy later apologized for their remarks through their Instagram. Those remarks subsequently were edited out from the episode in the show's official
YouTube channel in response to the backlash. == See also ==
