Social media influencer loses appeal, to pay RM100,000 for body shaming

PUTRAJAYA: Social media influencer Eira Aziera on Thursday (Oct 12) failed in her appeal to set aside the High Court’s decision that ordered her to pay RM100,000 in damages for uttering abusive words and 'body shaming' a female commissioner of oath via Facebook Live three years ago.

The three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal comprising Judges Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said, Datuk Ahmad Zaidi Ibrahim and Datuk S.M. Komathy Suppiah unanimously rejected the appeal of 'Eira Aziera' or real name Noorazira Pissal after finding that the appeal had no merit.
