Christine Kuo denies weight gain due to contraceptive pills
2 Oct – TVB actress Christine Kuo found herself being plagued with another baseless rumour about her weight gain.
As reported on China Times, the 30-year-old actress, who took everyone by surprise when she walked down the red carpet for the StarHub TVB Awards 2013 looking bigger than usual, was rumoured to have gained weight due to contraceptive pills.
A gossip magazine wrote that the actress has been taking the pills despite her doctor's warning, and that she increased the dosage, which caused her weight to increase rapidly.
The actress has denied the allegations and according to Sina website, she revealed that work stress and her inability to deal with criticism were the cause of her weight issues.
"Sometimes I feel like I have slimmed down but they say it's not enough. But when I gained weight, the media said I have become slimmer. I have been dealing with a lot of negative criticism while I was still getting used to the culture in Hong Kong. I didn't know how to react and was stressed out. It impacted my weight."
On the other hand, Christine stated that she will take legal action against those who made false reports about her.
