Brilio.net - Actor and comic Kemal Palevi has recently been in the spotlight after making a tweet about the divorce of artist Ria Ricis. Through his personal X account, Kemal asked whether Ricis' divorce case had been made into content or not.
This question, which was considered satirical by netizens, immediately made netizens annoyed and disappointed, including Ria Ricis herself. He even expressed his disappointment directly to Kemal via the reply column.
"If your life is happy, thank God. I hope this doesn't happen to you, amen. Thanks Kemal. Always be happy," said Ria Ricis , quoted from X @RiaRicis.
After becoming the target of netizens, Kemal Palevi then made a clarification via his Instagram upload. In this 5 minute video, Kemal firmly says that his tweet about Ria Ricis was not a joke, but a question.
"Here, I'll emphasize this, for Ms. and netizens, especially Ria Ricis fans who have been attacking me since yesterday. That's not a joke, that's not a joke. That's a question."
According to Kemal, the question he asked was normal considering that Ria Ricis always publishes anything about her life. So it is possible that Ria will reveal it regarding her divorce. Even so, some people still don't like Kemal Palevi's actions.
Being in the spotlight through his controversial statements doesn't seem to be the first time this has happened. Several times, Kemal has often caused a stir in the public. It could be said that Kemal was quite brave in voicing something, but some people actually thought that what he said seemed excessive.
Some even thought that Kemal's jokes were out of place or that his words were considered out of line. Seeing this, Kemal Palevi was labeled a sensational celebrity.
So what are the controversies that Kemal Palevi has involved? The following is the complete review as reported by brilio.net from various sources, Saturday (3/2).

In 2018, Kemal Palevi is promoting Crowd Funding, which is a community movement to participate in domestic aircraft manufacturing.
However, many people regretted it when Kemal showed off a shoe worth Rp. 95 million to BJ Habibie, and threw the shoe after the deceased shot down the price.
2. Ask teenagers' bra sizes for content.

Back to 2016, at that time Kemal also received negative comments after the content of his blog #Kemal's Fun was uploaded to social media. In this content, Kemal asks bra sizes to several women who are as young as 14 years old.
This action certainly attracted attention from the public because he was considered impolite and seemed to be harassing women. As a result, Kemal received negative comments from various parties.
3. Criticized after calling Zulham Zamrun "useless".
