Jakarta. Peterpan lead singer Nazriel “Ariel” Irham has continued to deny his involvement in two pornographic video movies despite arguably overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and made fellow Peterporn celebrity Cut Tari break down in tears after he slapped down any hint of emotional ties between the pair.
Cut Tari’s lawyer, Hotman Paris Hutapea, told journalists on Thursday that police played one of the Peterporn sex videos allegedly featuring Cut Tari and Ariel in front of the celebrities while they were together in the same room at National Police headquarters.
Hotman said the aim of the police exercise was to identify the actors in the video, one of two allegedly featuring Ariel. Another video allegedly features the Peterpan frontman with his current girlfriend, high-profile celebrity Luna Maya.
“The video was played and the police asked Ariel, ‘Is it you or not?’ but Ariel still wouldn’t admit that it was him. Ariel said, ‘It’s not me, I didn’t do it and I don’t have any feelings for her [Cut Tari],” Hotman said.
Ariel’s statement broke Cut Tari’s heart.
“If Ariel feels that it’s not him in the video and that he never had any feelings for me, it’s his business. I am very sad,” Cut Tari said. “I am sad that he still refuses to admit the video is his and that he doesn’t have any love for me. I’m a woman who has feelings,” Tari said.
Tari is a married mother of a daughter.
Of the three inadvertent sex stars, only Ariel has been taken into custody.
The scandal has been a crushing blow for the celebrities, who have lost high-profile advertising contracts or been removed from their television shows.
Ariel has had to delay the planned launch of a new album with his new band.
Last week, Luna made a rare public appearance by attending a concert organized by musician Ahmad Dhani in support of Ariel.
The concert, called The Rock Show for Free Ariel, was held in Jakarta. Peterpan, and T.R.I.A.D. were among the groups that performed.
“I am here to support Ariel. Although he’s being mocked right now, it cannot be denied that he has made a [big] contribution with his songs,” Luna said. “Ariel is my heart.”
Ariel is being housed in the cell next to alleged terrorist Abu Bakar Bashir, though they reportedly do not know anything about each other.
