Virginia Lok: TVB did not ban Sire Ma!
13 Nov – Following rumours that Sire Ma has been banned by TVB for her homosexual relationship, TVB executive Virginia Lok recently stepped up to say that no such action has been made.
According to Mingpao website, previously, the "Bullet Brain" actress caused a scandal when she was caught on tape kissing female talent agent Wang Ziqi on the street in Shanghai, despite denying their relationship earlier.
Following the severe public backlash towards the 26-year-old actress, particularly to her refusal to admit to her relationship, it was reported that TVB decided to give Sire a two months off and prohibited her from participating in the Anniversary promotions.
While all this was going on, the actress remained silent and only uploaded a photo of two teddy bears on her Weibo on 10 November with the message, "I understand, therefore I am merciful."
On 11 November, Virginia Lok revealed that she is planning to sit down and discussed with Sire in person to determine what the latter should do next.
She also denied rumours of Sire Ma's ban, saying, "We did no such thing. Sire was not even dropped from any endorsement deals and would continue to do her job according to schedule. Maybe the clients realise that there will be big media coverage if she makes an appearance!"
When asked about her thoughts on Sire Ma's sexual orientation, Virginia said, "Young people need to experience love, but I don't want them sacrificing their career for it. It's better to be open about it, like Moses Chan did. There is no need to be secretive."
