Johor Bahru: High Court ordered influencer Eira Aziera, whose real name is Noorazira Pissal, to pay compensation of RM100,000 and legal costs of RM30,000 to Suharnizan Md Sidek for body-shaming her two years ago.

The victim’s lawyer, Rasheed Hassan told Utusan Malaysia, the court also ordered Eira Aziera to issue an unconditional apology to commissioner of oaths Suharnizan Md Sidek, with the apology to remain posted for six months.

Suharnizan had filed a defamation suit against Noorazira in October 2020, seeking RM2 million in damages for alleged insults to her physical body form.

She lodged a report against Noorazira at the Johor Bahru South district police headquarters after Noorazira made a video recording containing abusive words aimed at her and likening her body shape to that of an animal. The video clip also displayed pictures of Suharnizan and her son.

According to Utusan report, in August 2020, Suharnizan had written a comment on cooking and diet products, which her friend shared on Noorazira’s Facebook account.

Noorazira posted a video apologising for her actions, claiming to have failed to control her emotions.
