## Controversy

In 2022, Amelia sparked a controversy when Idris Khan and herself breached contract for A. Aida's drama project of Sekali Lagi Cinta Kembali. She would eventually bring the case to the court as she stated that she did "nothing wrong" in the process. The court ruled A. Aida's side in April 2023 and Amelia was ordered to pay RM200,000 to the production. Amelia then won an appeal in the High Court in October 2023 when the court ruled on her side. However, the court ordered her to pay RM10,000 compensation to the production.
