#SHOWBIZ: Miera Leyana: Stop airing your ex-husband's dirty laundry and move on
This was the reaction of actress Miera Leyana, 31, when asked to comment on the ongoing court case involving her husband, entrepreneur Rosland Othman, 52, and his former first wife, Adibah Abdul Mutalib, 52.
Miera said that the protracted legal dispute involving her husband and Adibah had negatively impacted her reputation within the local entertainment scene.
The actress, who won Best Supporting Actress at the 2013 Anugerah Skrin for the film Pecah, expressed that her standing had been tarnished due to her association with the case.
"I have won awards in the arts industry, but my reputation is now tainted by such a personal issue.
"I have also slowly started to become an 'influencer' with several international brands.
"But with my husband's court case still pending, my work has also been disrupted.
"Her (Adibah's) statements to the media could also damage my good name and that of my family.
"Stop airing your ex-husband's dirty laundry and move on with your life," she told Harian Metro.
The Apokalips X and Lebuhraya Ke Neraka actress also highlighted that her priority now is her husband and two growing children.
"My children's mental health is more important. My children are growing up, and this issue can't be erased, nor can what she (Adibah) said to the media regarding her husband.
"When the children grow up, they will read the news reports about their father, and I want to protect my children's emotions," said the mother of two.
Regarding the claims for child support, iddah, and muta'ah maintenance filed by Adibah, Miera stated that while Adibah can claim what she deems appropriate, the court should ultimately decide.
"If you are not satisfied with the divorce case, sue in court. There is no need to issue a statement that disgraces your ex-husband and family.
"Don't use my name to get publicity because you're not even an artiste.
"When you make a statement that exposes your ex-husband's disgrace to the media, it also disturbs the emotions of your own children," she said.
Previously, after successfully obtaining permanent custody of her three children in February, Adibah filed a claim for child support, iddah support (post-divorce maintenance), and muta'ah (consolatory gift) against Rosland at the Putrajaya Syariah Lower Court on June 25.

KUALA LUMPUR: Former singer Noor Liza Abu Bakar, better known as Leez, 55, was surprised to discover her 1989 hit 'EL' has recently gone viral on TikTok's For You Page. Harian Metro reported today that the 55-year-old said she had recently been inundated with WhatsApp messages and social media friend requests, despite having left the limelight many years ago. Leez went on to release a second album, 'Jendela', in 1990 (produced by Usop of Kopratasa and Eric Yeoh) and recorded a third for BMG that was never issued. After marrying composer-producer Razman, she stepped away from music to raise two daughters, now 29 and 25. She currently runs a catering and nasi lemak business. Though invited twice to join the TV comeback show 'Gegar Vaganza', she declined. "I'm afraid that the glamour would give me a headache as my 15 minutes of fame have passed," she said. However, she doesn't rule out a future single, saying, "We may plan, but God decides." Meanwhile, netizens have been debating the identity of the singer of "EL", with some mistaking her for Leez Rosli (an Akademi Fantasia 4 alumna), while others even believed the singer had already passed away.

#SHOWBIZ: Actress Linda Hashim slams estranged husband over blame game
KUALA LUMPUR: Actress Linda Hashim, 41, has hit back at her estranged husband, Beego, who recently issued a public statement on social media blaming her for their marital problems. Linda said that Beego "should know" what truly caused the ongoing conflict within their family. "Beego thinks only he is in the right," she told Harian Metro. Linda refuted Beego's claims of providing sufficient child maintenance, explaining that the amount he gave was inadequate for the current cost of living. "The most he ever gave me was RM500. I fully cover all our children's school expenses. When any of them falls ill, I also bear all the medical costs," she said. Beego recently disclosed on social media that Linda had frequently left their home without his permission over the past nine months and had blocked him on all social media platforms except Facebook. The couple married in June 2013 and have three daughters: Jelita Clarissa, 11; Anggun Cassandra, 10; and Indah Camelia, 6.
