Wants to have children, requests for 9 month leaveDays after announcing her breakup with boyfriend of 9 years Gregory Lee, rumors have been flying that Shirley Yeung hooked up with an old classmate named Andy Ng and that she is currently pregnant with his child. As a result of all the rumors and allegations, Shirley’s public image has hit rock bottom.
Yesterday, Shirley accepted an exclusive interview with TVB’s "Scoop" in which she tearfully tells her side of the story – however it does not appear that she gained any sympathies afterwards, as her interview has been criticized as containing many discrepancies and her answers to several questions were vague.
Also, according to sources, Shirley has requested a 9 month extended leave from TVB, though the reason for the leave is unclear.
During the interview, Shirley attempted to respond to the various rumors out there regarding her breakup with Gregory, weeping openly the entire time.
In the interview, Shirley insisted that as early as last year, there were already obvious ‘differences’ in her relationship with Gregory. Asked exactly when she and Gregory officially separated, Shirley did not directly respond, only vaguely stating that in February or March of this year, she had already moved out of Gregory’s home: “The reason for moving was because we couldn’t be together anymore and were planning to break up. When I moved out, his parents were there – they knew what was happening.”
When asked why she still attended Gregory’s birthday party last month if she had already broken up with him back in February / March, Shirley replied: “Our mutual friends were there and Gregory really wanted me to go. Even though we broke up, as a friend, I didn’t want to ruin such a happy day for him by not attending.” Shirley also pointed out that her family did not approve of her attending events related to Gregory when she had already broken up with him. When the host asked Shirley about Gregory telling reporters during his birthday party that the two of them were planning to get married, her lips quivered as she responded: “I felt very conflicted at that time, as I didn’t think that he would say such things. I was also stunned, as there were never such plans [for marriage].”
Shirley reiterated during the interview that she had gotten Gregory’s consent to publicly announce the breakup and also hinted that someone had leaked information to the Media: “We were in contact via phone and I told him that I would tell the Media. I told him that even though he might not be able to accept it, I am still going to announce it. However, before the announcement was made, reporters were already secretly following me – they found out too quickly, very stunned.”
When questions about her rumored ‘new boyfriend’ Andy Ng came up, Shirley’s tone and demeanor clearly changed. She responded: “My emotions are in a state of upheaval right now and have not been able to completely let go of the feelings yet. I guess it’s time for me to pay more attention to friends around me – there are a lot of friends who have been concerned about me all along. I really want to find someone who is suitable for me and can take care of me.” (Rumors that you are pregnant?) “Perhaps it’s because I’m always telling people that I love kids. I’m not young anymore, already 33 years old, already starting to see family members getting older – I really want to find someone suitable, start a family and have my own children so that they [her parents] can have grandkids to tend to.” (So no pregnancy?) “Correct.” (You want to hurry up and get pregnant?) “Hopefully!”
Augustine Lee [Gregory’s twin brother] claims Shirley is lying
Last night, after Shirley’s interview with TVB, rumored third party Andy Ng posted on his Weibo: “Someone is purposefully trying to twist the truth and everyone will naturally sympathize with the more feeble one [the perceived ‘victim’]. I believe that it is not too much to ask for the public to hold off on judging right or wrong until the entire truth has been revealed.” Andy’s words appear to be supporting Shirley.
Reporters tried contacting Gregory last night for his reaction to Shirley’s interview, however they were not able to get a hold of him – but according to someone with knowledge of the situation, Gregory had watched the interview on TV and had cried the entire time. While waiting in front of the Lee family home, our reporter bumped into Gregory’s twin brother Augustine Lee, who was out walking one of Gregory and Shirley’s dogs. Asked whether Gregory knows of Shirley’s interview, Augustine was visibly upset and stated: “He knows. He is feeling the same way the entire family feels right now – very hurt and pained. Many friends watched the inteview and called us, saying that they sympathize with Gregory. After being together 10 years, we don’t understand why Shirley won’t tell the truth and exonerate Gregory, but instead chooses to cover things up with lies.” Augustine stated that they have evidence to prove that Gregory is the one telling the truth, but have been reluctant to reveal the evidence because they didn’t want either party to go through any more pain: “I’m disappointed that Shirley chose to lie about things to protect herself and her ‘new boyfriend’.”
As for alleged third party Andy Ng’s posting on Weibo implying that someone was ‘twisting the truth’, Augustine angrily stated: “Actually, the truth came out a long time ago, so I don’t understand what ‘truth’ he is talking about! If he is truly a man, he should come out and say what he wants to say in public – stop using such underhanded tactics! If you are truly a man, why are you having the woman [Shirley] speaking on your behalf? Why do you not come out and resolve the matter yourself? In the past, Gregory would stand in front of Shirley and protect her – a lot of people have seen it with their own eyes!” Augustine also indicated that Gregory is very upset right now so the entire family is keeping him company for fear that he may do something irrational.
