Gillian Chung Fat-Shamed By Netizens After Variety Show Trailer Appearance; Her Fans Defend Her With Body Positive Comments
The Hongkong star spoke about her first love, but netizens could only focus on her weight gain.
The latest trailer for Chinese variety show Twinkle Love was posted on Wednesday (Apr 28) and featured Hongkong singer-actress Gillian Chung opening up about her first love, but that certainly wasn’t what got people buzzing.
In the clip, the 40-year-old, who divorced Taiwanese doctor Michael Lai in March 2020 after less than two years of marriage, shared that she had a relationship with a Japanese boy, but it ended after he returned to Japan. She also said her advice to her 20-year-old self would be “to be a good person”.
However, most comments and reports seem to be fixated on her appearance, with many cruelly pointing out Gillian's weight gain.

Some also expressed their concerns for her health and wondered if her weight gain had anything to do with medication.
On the other hand, there were those who showed their support for the star with body positive comments like “Have the courage to be yourself and don’t care about others’ opinions”, and “Why must she be thin her entire life? Can’t we allow female celebrities to eat well?”.

When Charlene Choi was asked about her Twins bandmate’s weight gain at the premiere of her new film 77 Heartwarmings, the 38-year-old declared that health is the most important thing.
Charlene also revealed that Gillian has struggled with hormonal imbalance, so she shouldn’t pay attention to anyone pressuring her to lose weight and just focus on being healthy and happy.
They’ve got each other’s backs
