Christy Chung Denies Lying to Protect Her Daughter: 'Absolutely No Deception, Please Give My Underage Child Some Space'

Hong Kong’s well-known actress Christy Chung's 5-year-old youngest daughter Cayla (Koala) sparked controversy this March after a mirror selfie went viral. In the background of the photo, a woman was unintentionally captured sitting on the toilet with her pants down. Netizens spread rumors that this woman was her older sister Jaden, further speculating about discord between the sisters. At that time, Christy Chung quickly clarified the situation and apologized, stating that the person in the background was actually one of Cayla’s classmates.

However, three months later, the incident resurfaced with a twist. Online, a screenshot of an alleged English chat between Cayla and a friend—released after a falling out between Cayla and her bestie—began circulating. In the screenshot, Cayla complains to her friend: “I don’t get what’s wrong with Jaden sitting on the toilet in the photo,” and “the person involved doesn’t even care,” raising doubts among netizens about whether Christy Chung had lied to protect her daughter by claiming “it was a classmate.”

Facing questions about her honesty, Christy Chung once again issued a strong statement yesterday (the 25th), firmly denying any deception and stressing that she had “absolutely no intent to mislead the public.” She stated that, as a mother in her fifties, integrity has always been her guiding principle in life, and she has no need to fabricate information. She revealed that she had already sternly reprimanded her daughter and taught her boundaries, never expecting that the old incident would be maliciously twisted and harm her own credibility, leaving her emotionally exhausted. In closing, Christy Chung once again apologized and earnestly appealed to the public to stop spreading related content and to allow underage children some normal space to grow up.
