Jennifer Coppen, wife of Indonesian national team footballer Justin Hubner, is facing online harassment from Malaysian netizens ahead of the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 final against Thailand. Coppen reports that the attacks, which began after she posted sarcastic comments about Malaysia’s performance, have extended to her young daughter, Kamari, as reported by CNN Indonesia.
Malaysian netizens target Jennifer Coppen and daughter
The conflict began on social media following Indonesia’s 9-2 victory over Bangladesh on October 1, 2026, which secured the team’s place in the final. According to Source 3, the tension escalated when Malaysian users criticized Justin Hubner’s playing style on TikTok, prompting Coppen to respond with sarcasm. This interaction led to a wave of negative comments on her personal accounts.
Coppen expressed particular anger over the involvement of her toddler. If you hate on a child and innocent child you’re the most disgusting human being ever,
she stated, according to Source 3. While she claims to be accustomed to personal criticism, she urged adults to stop targeting children, a sentiment echoed in reports by Grid.ID.
