(ANN/THE STAR) – Recent viral social media posts have featured alleged conversations between actor Aliff Aziz and an individual known as NRF. These revelations prompted a response from Aliff’s wife, Bella Astillah.
Bella, who recently turned 30, shared her dismay upon discovering that one of these conversations took place on her birthday, March 15. She expressed her sadness on an Instastory, marking the post with a broken heart emoji.
The conversation in question involved NRF expressing displeasure over Bella’s appointment as an ambassador for a healthcare brand.
Bella also addressed rumours suggesting she had sent emails to brands urging them not to collaborate with NRF, denying these claims as false.
“Defamation! When did my team email brand products? How could you think of slander of this level, Ruhainies?” she wrote.
Previously, a health drink brand had blurred Ruhainies’ face in a promotional video following the controversy when the actress was caught in khalwat (close proximity) with Aliff on March 9.
Bella added her comments to the reposts of what is believed to be conversations between Aliff and an individual named ‘NRF’ via the WhatsApp application, that was originally posted by a woman claiming to be Aliff’s girlfriend, Sarah Yasmine.
Through Sarah’s revelations too, Aliff and NRF used terms of endearment like “love” and shared updates on their movements. Sarah had previously indicated NRF to be Ruhainies.
When mStar – The Star’s Malay-language portal – had met Bella at an event on Wednesday, she told the portal that she’s sad and disappointed to find out her husband had been conspiring against her.
“I am very disappointed because my life partner for 10 years also conspired… I was really surprised when there were conversations between them wanting to bring me down.”
Bella also alleged that the actress was the one in control and who encouraged Aliff to further complicate their marital relationship.
“I can see Ruhainies forcing Aliff to do all this,” she said.
On Wednesday night, Sarah revealed various conversations between Aliff and NRF, linking several other celebrities like Emma Maembong, Chacha Maembong and Caprice.
The revelation was made after Sarah admitted she was Aliff’s lover and felt compelled to reveal her identity after she couldn’t bear to see the actor being heavily criticised following the khalwat case.
On March 13, Bella filed for divorce from Aliff at the Federal Territories Sharia Lower Court in Kuala Lumpur.
However, during the first mention of the case, Aliff refused to divorce Bella.
