  "account": "Nani Roslan, widely known as NaniRoc, has vehemently denied any association with the Nik Nazmi khalwat case, strongly condemning the barrage of online slurs that have tarnished her reputation. In an Instagram video statement, Nani expressed her initial reluctance to speak on the matter but felt compelled to do so after her name, images and videos were disseminated across social media platforms, accompanied by unsubstantiated allegations. She was particularly aggrieved by the sexually explicit remarks and insults she received, which she felt targeted her dignity as a woman.\n\nNani further denied allegations that she was linked to any party believed to have orchestrated the incident, emphasizing that her role as a professional host involved presenting programs and events attended by people from diverse backgrounds, including politicians. However, she clarified that her professional engagements should not be misconstrued as support for any particular political stance. She recounted facing career setbacks, such as being blacklisted, having invitations withdrawn at the eleventh hour, and losing hosting opportunities due to perceived associations with certain political parties.\n\nNani also announced that her involvement as a podcast host concluded on September 30, 2026. She appealed to the public to exercise greater responsibility in their online comments, urging them not to spread defamatory claims or make accusations without evidence. Nani warned that such behavior could result in legal repercussions and pleaded for social media users to refrain from damaging other individuals' reputations based on mere speculation.",
