Chantalle Ng Was Once Beaten Up So Badly By Her Dad Huang Yiliang, She Had To Be Hospitalised For A Week
Her mum Lin Meijiao eventually dropped charges against her ex-husband ‘cos she saw how much stress the then-11-year-old Chantalle was going through when she had to testify in court.
Before My Star Bride turned her into Mediacorp's hottest young star, Chantalle Ng, 25, was famous for being the only daughter of former couple Lin Meijiao and Huang Yiliang.
On this week's episode of talk show Hear U Out, Chantalle opened up about the most traumatic incident that happened to her when she was a kid.
“Most of the unhappiness that I had when I was a child came from my dad. My parents were divorced before I turned one, and I had to visit my dad every Sunday ‘cos my mum had custody of me," recounted Chantalle.
Even as a child, she found Yiliang, now 60, “very fierce”, saying that the way her dad showed his love was “difficult for children to accept”.
“His temperament was rather volatile and I would never know when he would lose his temper. I remember asking my mum if I could stop seeing him because I’d get very nervous every Saturday, the day before I met him," said Chantalle. "My mother brought me to a social worker to talk about why I didn’t feel comfortable and didn’t want to see my dad.”
It was only when she was in primary five when something so serious happened that she cut off all contact with Yiliang.
