Hong Kong actress and ex-beauty queen Jacqueline Wong has publicly discussed the 2019 cheating scandal with singer-actor Andy Hui. It was a career killer for her and continues to affect her personal life.

In a recent interview with local media, Wong, now 35, reflected candidly on the controversy that forced her into a four-year hiatus. "I'll never forget it," she said. "

This incident has already become part of my life experience. It really happened, so there's no need to run from it or fear people bringing it up.

That's just life. If you make a mistake, you have to take responsibility. I've accepted that it's part of my past."

Wong, who was first runner-up in the 2012 Miss Hong Kong pageant and later joined TVB as an actress and host, became the subject of intense public backlash after a dashboard camera video surfaced in April 2019.

The footage showed her engaging in an intimate moment with Hui, who was married at the time to Cantopop icon Sammi Cheng.

Hui apologized publicly, attributing the incident to intoxication but admitting fault.

Wong, meanwhile, was swiftly removed from television projects, including her role in the drama

Forensic Heroes IV, and her agency suspended her remaining activities.

"The backlash was intense. I couldn't go out without being recognized or judged," Wong reportedly told friends, according to earlier media reports.

After keeping a low profile for several years, Wong returned to the spotlight in 2023 as a singer-songwriter.

Her first single, "The Beauty of Seeing Through the World," is a philosophical ballad that explores personal resilience as much as it does inner beauty through introspection.

"I poured all my feelings into that song," she said in the interview. "It helped me process everything and share a piece of my truth."

On October 27, 2023, Wong married drummer Lai Man-Wang, marking the next phase of her life.

While some netizens remain divided on her return to the industry, others have expressed support for her efforts to move on and rebuild her life.

"I'm not expecting forgiveness from everyone," Wong said. "But I am learning to forgive myself."

The actress is reportedly exploring new acting opportunities for 2025, with a tentative return to acting, but with careful consideration.
