Aliff Aziz Embroiled in Controversy as Wife Files for Divorce and Actress PlansLegal Action

Singaporean actor-singer Aliff Aziz, 33, finds himself at the center of a scandal involving his wife, Bella Astillah, and Malaysian actress Ruhainies Zainul Ilyas, 31. The controversy, which has been unfolding for nearly two months, took a new turn as Ruhainies announced her intention to take legal action against Aliff's alleged girlfriend, Sarah Yasmine.

The controversy began on March 9, 2024, when Aliff and Ruhainies were arrested by religious authorities under suspicion of khalwat (close proximity) in a condominium in Kuala Lumpur. In response, Bella filed for divorce on March 13, citing 11 extra-marital affairs by Aliff since their marriage in 2016. However, Aliff refused to divorce his wife at the second mention on April 4.

Bella has accused Aliff of having an affair with Ruhainies, claiming to have evidence, including GPS logs of Aliff visiting Ruhainies' home and a hidden recorder in his car. In a message to Ruhainies, Bella expressed her anguish, stating, "Because of you, my children have lost their father."

Amidst the controversy, Sarah Yasmine, a Singaporean netizen, claimed to have been in a relationship with Aliff since January 2023. She made a series of "revelations" accusing Ruhainies of influencing Aliff to leave Bella and sabotaging her career in showbiz. Sarah also exposed screenshots of messages between Aliff and NRF, whom she alleged to be Ruhainies.

Ruhainies has expressed her desire to meet Sarah and Bella in person to clear the air, but both have declined the offer. Ruhainies admitted that her mind is "clouded" and said she's trying her best to cope with life with a positive mindset. She stated,"I know what I did before was wrong, but I need to defend myself."

In response to Sarah's allegations, Ruhainies is now considering taking legal action, depending on the circumstances. She has consulted with lawyers and the Persatuan Seniman Malaysia (Malaysian Artists Association). Ruhainies stated, "I will lodge a police and MCMC report. As for when and where, it's better for me to keep that confidential for now or handle it quietly."

Controversy continues to unfold, the public scrutiny and media attention surrounding this high-profile scandal have sparked discussions about the challenges of maintaining privacy and the consequences of infidelity in the entertainment industry. The future of Aliff Aziz, Bella Astillah, and Ruhainies remains uncertain as they face the complexities of their personal lives under the glare of the spotlight.
