During a judging panel, (who later won the cycle) shared her battle with depression and eating disorder in response to Luna Maya's question about her photoshoot concept in Anyer beach. Deddy Corbuzier  then cut off Ilene's story by saying "Depression? [...] You're pretty, you're a model. You're also tall, sexy, and smart. If you're depressed, you're insulting the martabak (stuffed pancake) vendor in front of my house.” Luna also said "I really like eating, so [do I have an] eating disorder?" These remarks were met with backlash from viewers and general public who believed their remarks were obtuse and insensitive to the issue of mental disorder. Videos of their remarks went viral on social media, in which many took to twitter and instagram to express their disapproval  and also sympathy for Ilene, including psychiatrists and celebrities (also former Asia's Next Top Model host Nadya Hutagalung).

Luna and Deddy later apologized for their remarks through their instagram. Those remarks subsequently were edited out from the episode in the show's official YouTube channel in response to the backlash.
