Jacqueline Wong shares hardship following 2019 scandal

5 Feb – Jacqueline Wong recently opened up for the first time about the cheating scandal with Andy Hui that nearly destroyed her showbiz career back in 2019.

The actress-turned-singer, who was interviewed for a TV programme recently, shared that she actually knew beforehand that the scandal would erupt as there were rumours circling about her and Andy.

Jacqueline stated that it felt like waiting for a time bomb to explode and that she even thought about "disappearing" from this world prior to it being released in the media.

As to why she never responded or publicly apologised for the scandal before, the singer said that she was blocked by her old company from doing so.

"I remember very well on the first day that the incident happened, I asked the company whether I should publicly apologise, but they were worried that many people would ask questions and it would be hard for me. I really wanted to apologise immediately," she said.

Jacqueline said that she even told friends one time that she wanted to go meet the reporters to apologise, but that her friends stopped her from doing so, worried that it would make matters worse.

However, despite how bad the criticism was online, the singer said that in real life, nobody treated her badly and that people who met her would even tell her to cheer up. The only thing she regretted was the negative effect the scandal had on her family.
