Carrie Wong’s Boyfriend Released Statement Via Lawyer & Made His IG Public

In case you’re not aware, the biggest news this week was the death of the grumpy cat.

And another big news? The leaked Instagram DMs between Carrie Wong and Ian Fang, and another leaked WhatsApp chat from Carrie Wong’s phone, which hasn’t been confirmed to be authentic so far.

Here’s a brief recap of this story so far:

• Leaked Instagram DMs imply that Carrie Wong, who’s attached to a Taiwanese Boris Lin, is having a physical relationship with Ian Fang
• Both clarified that the DMs were made in jest and that they were merely good friends
• The leaked DMs also show them badmouthing about Lawrence Wong, an actor who’s taking over Aloysius Pang in a Mediacorp drama
• Carrie apologised to Lawrence privately and via an Instagram post
• Boris Lin commented on the post, stating that “I will always be on your side”
• Another leaked video emerged, this time showing a WhatsApp chat between Carrie and a friend
• In the WhatsApp chat, Carrie stated that she is torn between Ian and Boris
• One thing to note is that Carrie has not responded to the WhatsApp chat, so its authenticity is still unverified

And today, Boris Lin, whose Instagram profile has been set to private ever since Carrie made their relationship public, spoke to the public for the first time.

Through a lawyer, no less.

Opened up Instagram

In a twist that no one saw it coming, Boris’ Instagram account is suddenly public.

With a public profile, we can also now see all his images, which comprises numerous images made with Carrie Wong, in both Taiwan and Singapore.

There are only 76 posts, so you can scroll through everything within a minute.

And in his first post made today, he’s “speaking” through a lawyer in Chinese—and also it’s the longest post written.

Lawyer Speaking

I honestly can’t fathom out why a lawyer is involved instead of a PR firm, but anyways, here’s the post:

Because I’m pretty sure you can’t read Chinese, especially so when it’s in traditional Chinese, here’s a translated text not based on Google Translate:

Public Statement:

Lawyer 林天財 from 大成台灣律師事務所‘s statement on behalf of client Mr Boris Lin:

According to Boris Lin, he has mentioned this:

“We’re fine, thank you everyone! Since it has reached this stage, I feel obligated to explain everything. I admit that I wasn’t around when my other half needed me the most, and felt that I’ve not done enough for her.

Mr Fang and my other half have always been good friends, and often joked regularly. Sometimes, their language is a bit unfiltered.

For this entire matter, I feel that other than Mr Fang’s stronger language, my other half hasn’t done anything wrong.

I hope that after this incident, Mr Fang would not come between our relationship, and also respect his friends and the life he has.

I’d like to thank the public for their concern and support. That gave us strength. Since the matter has already become a matter of the law, I’m afraid that those found guilty of disseminating the videos would be sentenced to up to two years’ jail. For people disclosing personal details, I’m afraid the maximum is five years’ jail.

We felt uneasy that we’ve wasted so much of the media’s resources, and would like to thank Mediacorp for their help. Once again, thank you everyone; we’re fine.”

Just a reminder again that people spreading and making statements that are defamatory will also be jailed for up to a year.

In addition, spreading texts and images of such nature could mean a jail term of up to two years.

We hope this incident would end now.

Lastly, thank you Lawrence for your understanding, and thank you everyone for your concern.

And yes, I’m just as confused as you are: so the quoted texts are by Boris, and those non-quoted ones are from his lawyer?

But the bulk of the text is quoted? And why is the lawyer thanking Lawrence?

Anyways, Carrie has responded:

Okay.

In any case, at least now we get to see more of the couple’s images, and you’ve got to admit that they’re a beautiful couple!
