Singapore — Local influencer Xiaxue posted an exclusive almost two-hour-long interview with Night Owl Cinematics (NOC) co-founder Sylvia Chan on Sunday night (Oct 24). The revealing interview has been watched 600,000 times on YouTube as of the time of writing.

The day after, Xiaxue responded via Instagram Story to claims made about the video’s objective, and denied setting up the interview to “somehow help” Chan. The influencer did not go easy on Chan with her questioning and stressed that she tried her best to “keep neutral”.

In addition, Xiaxue emphasised that the video was not a “propaganda campaign” to aid Chan. If she appeared “sympathetic or empathetic”, she reasoned that it is hard not to when “someone is sobbing their heart out in front of you”.

In response to questions on why she interviewed Chan then, Xiaxue wrote:

“Huh dumb question leh she’s the one who is in deep shit and accused of a million things and have kept silent so far? Everyone thinks Ryan is so perfect so I interview him for what ah? Ask him wow Ryan why everyone love you so much? Interesting meh?”

She also said her role as an interviewer is to “just ask the questions” and not grill someone like a “bad cop”, reported Mothership.sg.

“I ask the hardball questions and leave it up to the audience to interpret my guest’s answers themselves.”

People have urged Xiaxue to interview fellow NOC co-founder Ryan Tan for a balanced take on the saga. The influencer said that she has contacted him but had not received any reply.

She, perhaps jokingly, added: “I’ll interview anyone who gives me views tbh I love asking people questions.”

In a separate Instagram Story, Xiaxue also made a remark on former NOC talents who have come out to clear the air. According to her, nobody is accusing them of sleeping with their boss.

In a blog that accompanied Xiaxue’s video, there were screenshots shared, allegedly showing Tan admitting that he had crushes on some of the talents. Also, in the Instagram Story, she asked the implicated parties what it feels like to manage the “hate comments”:

“Fun not managing the hate comments? Was very fun when you guys did it relentlessly for weeks to Sylvia right lol… She was just a silent punching bag so very shiok to keep boxing right? How does it feel like when it’s done to you? Nice?”

Nevertheless, Xiaxue emphasised that she is neither on both parties’ side. Instead, she said that she is not a fan of people who “claim moral high ground when bullying others”.

She did admit that she is enjoying seeing the things that have unfolded:

“Am I enjoying watching this group of people — who have resorted to releasing private chats and confidential company information to take someone down — squirm with dealing just a tiny fraction of the hate they have inflicted on someone else? Yes, yes I am.”

Tan has yet to respond to Chan’s allegations 12 hours after Xiaxue’s video interview went out. /TISG
