Patty Hou Denies Report That She Got Paid S$3.1mil For Her Family To Appear On Reality Show
Patty has been getting a lot of flak for her mum’s perceived remarks about her illegitimate birth.
In particular, Yue Yun’s comment that they can “repent [our misdeeds without] explaining ourselves to others” struck a nerve with netizens, who feel that the mother-daughter pair are “glorifying extramarital affairs” and “unremorseful about [Yue Yun] being a home wrecker”. Netizens found another bone to pick with Patty after Chinese media reported that she was paid RMB 15mil (S$3.1mil) for her family to appear on My Dearest Ladies.

Patty’s first response to the hubbub was to post a statement on her Facebook saying that she “doesn’t ask for others to understand us, and I apologise if we hurt anyone”. That did nothing to quell the mob as they continued posting nasty comments about Patty online.
It seems like the pressure finally got to her management company as they issued a clarification on Mar 10 to say that rumours of Patty’s fat paycheck are “grossly inflated” and asked for netizens to stop reacting negatively to the incident.
There's no way she can win with netizens, is there?
Their short statement further upset some netizens as one wrote, “If the amount is grossly inflated, they should reveal how much she was paid for going on the show.” Another added, “If she’s really remorseful about what her mother did, she’d donate her appearance fee to single mothers in need.”
