Viann Zhang (張馨予) staked a claim on Ron Ng (吳卓羲) as her boyfriend by posting a bed photo of herself on his Weibo blog on Monday night. The incident sparked intense interest throughout the City of Hong Kong. The “victim” Ron Ng finally surfaced yesterday. His admission that he had dated Viann attracted breakup speculations. Since Ron stressed that he had forgiven Viann and asked his fans to not blame her, it was evident that Ron was still very protective towards her!
Viann’s posting of her bed photo on Ron’s blog attracted a lively discussion among netizens and scolding from fans. To escape from the close scrutiny, Ron took “sick leave” from a promotional event for Prominent Family "名媛望族". Yesterday, Ron finally found the courage to face the media yesterday.
At 8 AM, Ron arrived at TVB City and appeared to be in good spirits. He calmly apologized to the involved parties and explained the bed scandal incident, “First, I have to apologize to my fans who were worried about me, my family, and friends. I was unaware of the blog post when it first appeared. At the time, I was at Toby Leung’s (梁靖琪) wedding and attended an after party until 4 AM. When I saw the blog post upon returning home, I was a bit shocked.”
Ron explained that Viann’s photo was not taken at his home since she was in mainland China at the time. Ron indicated that he contacted Viann immediately to delete the blog post.
Ron Ng: “I Have Forgiven Viann Zhang!”
In June 2011, Ron was photographed picking up Viann Zhang at the Hong Kong airport, thus exposing their dating relationship. Since Viann often flaunted their romance in a high-profile manner, Ron was unable to retain secrecy over their dating status despite his tight-lipped nature. After the bed photo incident, Ron finally admitted Viann as his girlfriend. However, he said cryptically, “I have dated her.” Asked whether they had broken up, Ron did not directly respond, “Please give me some space!”
Although many people criticized Viann [for the bed photo incident], Ron emphasized that he has forgiven her, putting in a good word for Viann, “I called her to understand the matter. She admitted that she acted wrongly and apologized. I have forgiven her.” (Are you in a cool down period?) “Please give me some space!”
Asked why Viann had to post a bed photo of herself on Ron’s blog, he stated, “I did not ask her. She already admitted that she had acted wrongly.” (Did Viann post the photo on purpose?) “I did not delve on that aspect.” (It was not the first time Viann caused a ruckus on Weibo?) “She has been in the entertainment industry for only a short period of time and thus acted unconsciously. She did not realize the severe consequences of her actions. She now regrets what had occurred.”
Ron stressed that Viann’s posting of her photo on Ron’s blog was not due to his attendance in the after party celebration following Toby Leung’s wedding. Furthermore, Ron indicated that Viann’s actions were not driven by jealousy or possessiveness. Asked whether Viann possessed access to his bank account, Ron laughed, “I will not go there! If all the money were withdrawn, that would be a big problem!”
Asked whether he still cared for Viann, Ron noted, “Stepping forward, I cannot just talk about myself. She is sincere.” Encouraging fans not to be upset, Ron said, “Every person makes mistakes.” Ron was fully aware of Viann’s whereabouts; due to Viann’s impending arrival in Hong Kong next week for work, Ron urged the press not to push Viann too far. “She is a newcomer.” In an attempt to put in good words for Viann, Ron displayed his protectiveness towards Viann.
Viann Zhang Defensive In Blog Message
One hour after Ron spoke with the media, Viann quickly updated her Weibo blog, “It was unintentional; there is no need for such a big response! Although I know that outsiders will not believe that it was a mistake [in posting the bed photo on the wrong blog], please give some space and do not push too far in every instance!” Immediately following Viann’s post, netizens responded cuttingly, noting that Viann possessed Sima Zhao’s heart and Mavis Pan’s lack of ethics.
This was Viann’s first public response since the bed photo scandal. After the incident, Viann disappeared from her blog for several days. After wrapping up The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate "龍門飛甲" and No Liar, No Crying "不怕賊惦記". Viann will arrive in Hong Kong to film a new movie and pictorial. afterward Throughout the bed photo incident, Viann’s fans were highly supportive of her.
A History of Viann’s Jealousy
Although normally tight-lipped about his love life, Ron Ng made many exceptions since meeting 33F-cup Viann Zhang. Crazily in love with Viann, Ron protected her each time the public criticized Viann. In June 2011, it was rumored that Viann had alerted the paparazzi herself when Ron picked her up at the Hong Kong airport. At a promotional event, Ron indicated that he trusted his “friend” and did not feel betrayed.
Viann flaunted her relationship with Ron on Weibo numerous times, resulting in mutual wrath between Ron’s fans and herself. Ron stepped in to pacify the “flame war” and asked fans to calm down and be courteous to the people he cared about.
It was rumored that Viann regarded Ron’s rumored costar, Kate Tsui (徐子珊), as her arch rival. Ron had posted a screen shot of Kate and himself on his blog, incurring Viann’s extreme jealousy over the matter. Ron deleted the photo with Kate from his blog afterward.
