'Wardrobe malfunction' actress complains

JAKARTA: Taffana Dewi, 31, a lesser-known model and actress, said she wanted to sue the people behind the distribution on the Internet of a record containing her wardrobe malfunction incident, in which she bared her sizable breasts on a live TV show.

Taffana or Ana, however, had not yet found the certain individuals she wanted to sue.

Private TV station Trans TV, which aired the live comedy program Ketawa Spesial Ala Trans on Thursday night denied the allegation that their crew were responsible for the distribution.

"The record that is going around on the Internet has Trans TV logo. Our master record doesn't show the logo," a Trans TV public relation officer, Ichwan Muni, was quoted as saying by news portal www.detik.com.

Ana, who once posed in swimsuit for men magazine Popular, played in the 1990s as an extra in several titillating Indonesian B-movies.

Her career was largely unknown, until she had the recent "wardrobe malfunction".

In the comedy program, Ana was wearing a Javanese traditional strapless top known as a kemben. Some in the audience testified that her kemben had already worked loose for a few minutes before finally failing her, fully baring her breasts.

The critical moment occurred when she tried to help comedian Tessy get up. She bowed and the audience gasped. -JP
