THE two young women who have come forward to reveal their trysts with film-maker Jack Neo in the local media said they wanted to shame him and warned others that he is a 'serial cheater'.
Freelance model Wendy Chong, 22, and actress-hostess Foyce Le Xuan, 25, who were involved with Neo, 50, several years ago but decided to speak up now, said they didn't dare to reject his advances because they were then new to the industry and both were flattered to get the attention of the hot-shot movie director.
Expressing regrets and guilt over their involvement with the married man and father of four, they told the Chinese media and The New Paper in separate interviews in the last two days that they now realise that it was lust and not love that Neo hit on them.
Chong, who broke the news of her affair with Neo last Saturday after she showed up at his Pasir Ris home a day earlier, demanding to see Neo's wife, Madam Irene Kng, 46, told TNP on Monday: 'I wanted to shame him - so that he cannot do this to another victim.'
And why did Le wait six years to tell her story?
'I want people to know that Jack is a serial cheater,' she said.
'A lot of the reports now are skewed towards him and his family. He said he still loves his family, and the public pities his wife and blames Wendy Chong. Then this experience will have no effect on Jack and girls will continue to be conned by him.'
Chong, who blamed herself for getting into a mess with Neo, said: 'I was stupid lor. I can only say, ya lah, I made the mistake.'
Her family did not know about about the affair until last weekend. She said she had kept it a closed secret because 'I knew the only way to be with him, that we can still be together, is without anyone finding out.'
In an interview with Shin Daily News published on Monday, Chong said: 'I now realise I was wrong and I have hurt many people. I shouldn't have gone into an affair in the first place, shouldn't have fallen in love with him.
'It's like taking drugs, you think you have control of your feelings and yourself, but in the end, I couldn't get out of the mess. I just got myself more and tangled and eventually found myself at a dead end.
'Previously, I didn't give a damn to anything else in the pursuit of love. I just wanted to possess him, regardless of whether I was right or wrong. And I got myself into a mess.'
She said the this episode has made her realise that 'it's only your family who will stand by you.'
