Jakarta, Indonesia – Actress and television personality Chikita Meidy has publicly detailed allegations of financial manipulation and unauthorized use of her personal accounts by her husband, Indra Adhitya. The claims, made during a media appearance on Monday, August 25, 2025, at the Trans TV studio in South Jakarta, paint a picture of systematic control and significant financial loss.
Details of the Allegations
Meidy alleges that Adhitya manipulated her income data, transferred funds between accounts without her knowledge, and frequently used her mobile phone to conduct QRIS (quick Response Code Indonesian Standard) transactions without her consent. “So, what happened was manipulation of my income data that was done by him, transfer between accounts. and he likes to bring my cellphone to conduct a Qris transaction,” Meidy stated.
The situation reportedly came to light through family mediation, during which Adhitya allegedly confessed to withdrawing cash and making ATM withdrawals to cover daily expenses, but failed to disclose these actions to his wife. “But it was all mediated by family. He had admitted that he took it, he made an ATM pull, cash, to pay daily. But he didn’t report to me,” Meidy explained.
Multiple Income Streams targeted
Meidy clarified that the compromised personal account served as a central hub for her diverse income streams, including revenue from acting roles, hosting engagements (MC work), endorsement deals, and affiliate marketing programs. Adhitya, according to Meidy, was aware of these income sources and systematically diverted funds to his own accounts.
“So he already knows that every time I have an income, so that he is withdrawn by him or he makes a transfer to his own account,” she said.
Significant Financial Losses and Credit Card Abuse
The financial impact of these alleged actions is substantial.Meidy estimates current tracked losses at Rp160 million (approximately $10,300 USD as of October 26, 2023 - *exchange rates fluctuate*), with further untracked losses potentially reaching hundreds of millions of rupiah.
Adding to the financial strain, Meidy claims Adhitya secretly used her credit cards, resulting in unexpected bills. “Becuase, he likes to use a credit card I secretly until suddenly I can just bill,” she concluded.
Context and Potential Legal Ramifications
This case highlights a growing concern in Indonesia regarding financial abuse within marriages. While specific laws addressing marital financial control are evolving, actions like unauthorized fund transfers and credit card misuse can fall under existing fraud and embezzlement statutes. Legal experts suggest Meidy may have grounds for both civil and criminal action.
The allegations come amidst increasing public discussion about financial independence for women and the importance of openness in marital finances. The case is likely to draw further attention to these issues and potentially influence future legal interpretations.
