She later also participated in Fun Fearless Female contest held by Cosmopolitan Indonesia in 2006, where she placed second. [2] [4]

Dewi got her big break by starring in a role in the 2007 comedy Quickie Express , [4] for which she received the 2008 Indonesian Movie Award for Best Newcomer. [2] The following year, she collaborated with Dewi Sandra and Luna Maya on the song "Play", which was released for the UEFA Euro 2008. She also starred in the movie Tarzan ke Kota, where she sang in several of the movie's soundtracks. [2]

Personal life

In November 2016, Dewi married businessman Harvey Moeis in Tokyo Disneyland. The couple have 2 sons. [6]

Controversy

In March 2024, Dewi's husband Harvey Moeis was identified as a suspect and detained by the Indonesian Attorney General's Office (AGO) in connection with corruption allegations related to tin trading permits issued to the state-owned company PT Timah Tbk, where it's believed to have caused environmental damage amounting to 271 trillion rupiahs (US$17 billion), the highest scale of corruption ever recorded in Indonesia. [7] Moeis was accused of acting as a middleman to help a private firm, Refined Bangka Tin (RBT), illegally manage mining areas belonging to Timah. [8] The case has prompted investigations into Moeis and Dewi's extravagant lifestyle, including Dewi's habit of purchasing luxury goods and the purchase of a private jet as a birthday gift for their 2-year-old son. [7]

In April 2024, a Rolls-Royce and a Mini Cooper car unit which belonged to Dewi and Moeis were seized by the authorities, as well as 76 billion rupiahs (US$7 million) in cash, 1 kilogram of gold, and electronic devices and documents linked to Moeis's criminal activities. Authorities also blocked Moeis's personal bank accounts. [9] Roughly three weeks later, authorities confiscated two more car units, a Toyota Vellfire and a white Lexus. [10] Dewi has not provided any information regarding her husband's case to the public, and was seen closing the comments column on her personal Instagram account soon after her husband's detainment. [11] In April 2024, Dewi was summoned as a witness by the Indonesian Attorney General's Office. [8] Dewi is at risk of receiving a sentence to either a five-year imprisonment or a penalty amounting to 1 billion rupiah (US$62,900) if she is found guilty of profiting from her husband's corrupt funds.
