Model flees from her Kelantan prince, claims abuse
(The Malaysian Insider) – Indonesian model Manohara Odelia Pinot, whose family claimed was abused, fled for home today from Singapore where the Kelantan royal family was accompanying the ill sultan undergoing medical treatment.
Local press reports say the Indonesian-American beauty met her mother Daisy Fajarina in the city-state and flew home this morning.
She met reporters and told them she was no longer in love with the prince, Tengku Muhammad Fakhry, whom she accused of sexual abuse and violence.
“I am afraid of the daily sex abuse and violence,” the Banjarmasin Post quoted the 17-year-old as saying.
She married the prince last August 26 but her mother claimed she was kept incommunicado last February 26 after the family went to Mecca for a pilgrimage.
“I don’t sleep every day until about 4am in fear of getting an injection or being drugged,” said the model who was named one of Indonesia’s 100 Precious Women by Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
Family lawyer Yuli Andre Darma told reporters that Manohara has yet to decide her future and will stay at the family home in Slipi, west Jakarta.
“What is clear is she won’t decide in the near future. But it is up to Manohara whether she wants to return or not,” the lawyer said
He did not have details of Manohara’s shock return, saying all he knew was she met her mother at a hotel.
