Summary
Actress and television host Ng Wing-mei (伍詠薇), also known as “Miss Ng”, said on a recent episode of HOY TV’s interview programme “Fortune Talk 2” that she had kept quiet for years about a traumatic incident at a karaoke gathering. She said the event happened when she attended a party hosted by a prominent female celebrity, where a male celebrity she described as “not exactly a decent man” allegedly took advantage of the setting and alcohol. According to her account, he dragged her into the washroom, lifted her onto a sink and started undoing his belt before she resisted and escaped. She said the experience left a deep psychological shadow and prompted her to urge women to stay alert in social settings.
Key Points
- Ng said the account was revealed on the latest episode of HOY TV’s “Fortune Talk 2”, which she co-hosts with Brian Lee Hoi-yin of the hip-hop group 24Herbs
- She said she attended the karaoke gathering out of respect for a “very powerful female celebrity in Hong Kong”, although they were not especially close
- Ng said the same man had repeatedly approached her at earlier gatherings, and by the fourth event he pulled her into the karaoke venue’s washroom soon after she arrived
- Inside, she said he shut the door, lifted her onto the sink and began undoing his belt; when she told him he was drunk, he replied, “So what if I’m drunk?”
- Ng said people outside appeared unusually quiet and no one intervened, so she pushed against his chest, shouted that she would not accept it, then broke free and left with her handbag.
Why It Matters
Ng’s account has drawn attention because it comes from a veteran public figure speaking in detail about an alleged assault in a high-profile social setting, where she said bystanders did not step in. For Hong Kong audiences, the episode adds to discussion about personal safety, consent and the pressure to navigate celebrity and elite social circles carefully.
