When Andy Hui admitted his affair with Jacqueline Wong on the day that a video of them together got leaked in the media, it exploded into a scandal that continued to be talked about for days on end. Since then, Andy Hui has gone on an indefinite hiatus whilst Jacqueline Wong has recently gone to the US for further studies. While there has been an outpouring of support for Andy Hui’s wife Sammi Cheng, she too has not been exempt from the continuous media coverage and endless speculations on all the parties involved.
At one point, there were questions about why the cabbie leaked the video of the backseat tryst between Andy Hui and Jacqueline Wong. Why did he release the video and more importantly who bought the footage? Theories abound with one saying that negotiations between the cabbie and Andy Hui broke down thus leading to the video being sold to media; others say that it was Jacqueline who hatched the plan to force Sammi and Andy to divorce, a theory that Taiwanese TV presenter Cheng Hungyi debunked by saying that the actress wouldn’t mastermind something to land herself in some very hot water that’s potentially career ending.
In yet another twist to this saga, reports surfaced that it was the aggrieved Sammi Cheng herself who paid the cabbie 400,000 HKD to film and leak the now infamous video to local media. Apparently, the singer-actress knew of her husband’s involvement with Jacqueline Wong but previous efforts to obtain evidence of the affair were futile.
On April 28, Sammi Cheng took to Instagram to once again share her sentiments and to say that it will be the last time that she’ll be commenting on the issue. The singer said that there is no magic and no clear skies overnight; that there is enough grace and kindness to go around. Many stormy nights have terrified her in the past weeks, but says that the weather has cleared up a little, that clear skies will soon return and leaves the rest up to time to help everyone find another way.
Sammi wants to return to a normal life because life has go to on, and the trials are an important lesson. The singer ends her post by saying that as she doesn’t have magical powers, the journey to healing is one that she herself must endure therefore needing both time and space to do so. Finally, she adds that she will no longer discuss the issue, that she will not look back, and only forward as she allows time to take its lead. She will also be focused on preparing for her upcoming concert.
