Singapore — Night Owl Cinematics co-founder Sylvia Chan has had a beleaguered October, from accusations of verbal abuse and a toxic workplace environment at NOC to her filing a police report over death threats, plus an alleged sex video, and more.
Through it all, her ex-husband and fellow NOC founder Ryan Tan has emerged relatively unscathed, that is, until the next chapter of the NOC Saga unfolded in an “exclusive,” “break-her-silence,” nearly two-hour tell-all with controversial influencer Xiaxue, which dropped on Sunday (Oct 24).
Xiaxue, whose real name is Wendy Cheng, left no stone unturned in the interview, giving Ms Chan the opportunity to address questions about her role at NOC, her brother’s PR status, The Thirsty Sisters, the “Sex Barter” issue, but perhaps the most revealing aspects of the interview were about Ms Chan and Mr Tan’s relationship.
“The same way he may know a lot of things that I’ve done, that I’m not proud of, the same I would know of him,” she told Ms Cheng.
One big bombshell revolves around Mr Tan’s closeness to NOC’s female talents and his alleged infidelity that began shortly after they got married, which made her suspicious of the women they worked with.
“We never had a happy marriage because he has had something to do with the girls in NOC. That’s why I’ve always kept my silence because I’m going to implicate the whole world.”
Ms Chan claims to have been miserable in their marriage, but put up a good front for the sake of their public image, adding the break-up that followed has been contentious.
She also said that she never cheated on her husband while they were together.
Less than a day since its debut, the interview has been viewed over half a million times.
Thousands of netizens have also commented on the video, with many women unexpectedly expressing support for Ms Chan.
One woman wrote that the NOC co-founder may be a psychopath, but nevertheless, she respects Ms Chan.
Others agreed with this, with another commenter writing, “It’s really tough being the strong woman trying to pull all fronts of the business together.”
Some commented on Ms Chan’s strength.
“No one deserve(s) to be attacked like this,” wrote another.
Others simply wrote that they believe her.
However, several netizens pointed out that the issue that started the whole NOC Saga—Ms Chan’s alleged mistreatment of the people who worked there, was not addressed.
