Controversy and Response

edit

After a private video of actress Sire Ma wearing lingerie was leaked online in 2014,[3] she publicly addressed the matter in a press conference. Sire Ma admitted to filming the content, claiming that her partner betrayed her.[4]

TVB's Reaction

edit

Following the incident, TVB, with whom Ma is contracted, paused all her work engagements indefinitely. The decision was made in a meeting with TVB management. Ma accepted full responsibility for her actions and supported TVB's decision.[4]
