Adjie said he was not paid to propagate the lies. The couple broke up in October and now Bella has a new boyfriend. The first lie was a fake engagement party in June, about a month after the couple made their first public appearance together. '€œThere was no engagement,'€ he said as quoted by kapanlagi.com. '€œNone of my family was present at the event.'€

The other lies were a reported pre-wedding photo session in Bali in September, a story about Bella fainting and being admitted to a hospital emergency room and a report that Bella slapped Adjie'€™s face in a jealous rage.

'€œIn the emergency room, she was laughing with her friends,'€ Adjie said.

Adjie said he really loved Bella and the relationship was genuine but Bella and her friends asked him several times to set up fake news stories to boost Bella'€™s recognition.

Bella denied Adjie'€™s allegations, saying that he was still traumatized by the break-up. Bella confirmed, however, that the ceremony in June was not an engagement party.
