Aurelie Moeremans has released her memoir Broken Strings, detailing her grooming experience at age 15 by an older man, drawing public support and backlash from Roby Tremonti who feels targeted. The book, shared for free, went viral on social media, while Roby reports receiving threats and seeks clarification on Denny Sumargo's podcast.
Aurelie Moeremans, a Belgian actress working in Indonesia, released her memoir Broken Strings: Fragments of a Stolen Youth on January 13, 2026. The book recounts her life journey, including childhood bullying and grooming at age 15 by a man named Bobby, twice her age. Aurelie describes the relationship as filled with manipulation, control, and physical and psychological violence that stole her youth.
The book is shared for free via links in Aurelie's Instagram bio, with Indonesian and English versions on Google Drive. Viral excerpts on social media have garnered widespread support for Aurelie as a survivor, though sparking curiosity and speculation. Talk show host Feni Rose, after reading it, expressed deep regret on Threads: "Terasa sekali ketakutan, kebingungan, ketidakberdayaannya dan keputusasaannya saat itu." She hopes victims escape dangerous relationships quickly.
Controversy peaked when Roby Tremonti, Aurelie's ex, felt he was the figure Bobby despite no name mention. Roby reports threats and online abuse, endangering his family: "Kalau saya dibakar gimana? Keluarga saya gimana?" He denies domestic violence (KDRT) claims and a religious marriage not civilly registered due to Aurelie's parents' disapproval. Aurelie refutes the marriage's validity, annulled by the church, allowing her Catholic marriage to Tyler Bigenho.
After 16 years of silence, Roby considers legal action and hopes for an invitation to Denny Sumargo's podcast for clarification: "Saya cuma pengen keluarga saya, mama saya, kami mau hidup tenang." Aurelie claims renewed terror: "Lucunya, ada yang merasa, lalu malah ganggu aku lagi." The incident highlights cancel culture in the digital age.
