When a Taiwanese Star Gets Called Out For a “Bullying” Incident
It’s like a plot twist straight out of a reality‑TV drama. Taiwanese actor‑model Patrick Lee has found himself in the crosshairs after Singaporean actor Elvin Ng called out a co‑star on the set of the 2018 Mediacorp series Gifted. Fans were quick to connect the dots, but Lee’s camp is waving the “smooth‑sailing” flag. Let’s break down the saga.
What Ng Alleged
- Antagonised by a fellow actor while filming in Kuala Lumpur.
- “Triggered” on the last day, Ng says he finally exploded.
- Specific antics: causing forgetfulness of lines, disrupting emotional scenes with snide comments, and even shoving his chair over Ng’s bag.
Ng didn’t name the culprit, but netizens were quick to point to the Singapore‑born, Taiwan‑trained actor who’s made a name for himself in dramas from Just For You to other popular series.
Lee’s Agency Takes a “Politeness” Stand
The management agency issued a quick statement, painting Lee as “polite, gentlemanly and very pleasant to work with.” They added:
“It’s hard to believe that these incidents indeed happened between the two. The truth will speak for itself. Other staff on set can confirm the real story.
They’re essentially saying: “We won’t get into this now; let the evidence do the talking.”
Lee Responds on Social Media
While Ng stayed silent after the initial disclosure, Lee didn’t sit still. In a series of Instagram and Facebook posts (dated April 10), he posted a scathing, almost jibe‑filled commentary:
“A Taiwanese lone wolf in a sea of Singaporeans… Zhu Shang? When y’all in Taipei, do y’all bully Singapore‑born? If you were me, would you do that?” He ended with a jab, “Congrats, you’ve just gotten a bit more famous.”
Of course, the posts drew a flurry of comments from fans—some cheering Lee and some rallying behind Ng. The debate continues as both sides refuse to back down.
Where Do We Stand?
In any creative industry, tensions can flare. Whether the “bullying” allegations are founded or not remains unclear. One thing is sure: the story has shown the power of social media to both amplify and challenge reputations.
With the heat still burning, the only thing certain is that the spotlight will keep spinning on both actors—until there’s a solid piece of evidence, the drama (pun intended) is far from over.
