After Denise Ho (何韻詩) came out as a lesbian last week, speculation on rumored ex-flame, Joey Yung’s (容祖兒) bisexuality has caused a frenzy with the media. Sources say that Joey is suffering from emotional distress due to the vicious rumors and she has been hiding from everyone. After remaining silent for a week, Joey finally responded to the media’s questions. Joey appeared as one of the guests in an opening ceremony for a charity race in Hong Kong over the weekend. She was escorted by her manager Mani Fok (霍汶希) with 8 EEG employees to protect her from any disturbance that may occur during the event. At the ceremony were many of Joey’s loyal fans waving rainbow flags to give her their support. Appearing calm and relaxed, Joey finally clarified herself before the press. Not Emotional Distress On Denise’s ambiguous comment about Joey’s bisexuality, Joey said, “Emotional distress is a bit exaggerated. I am not upset about the rumors saying that I am bisexual. I have gotten used to all the misunderstanding. These false stories are not even worth my time to explain, and the relationship is between two people. As long we feel the love, there’s no need to give any necessary explanations. I am not unhappy at all.” Forever Friend Joey is very supportive of Denise’s disclosure on her sexual orientation. “As her friend, I fully support her decision. She is doing it not only for herself, but to help others to fight for equal rights. I will also support this cause if I have the chance.” In addition, Joey is not upset with Denise ambiguous comment about her bisexuality. She said, “We have been friends for many years, and Denise is my friend forever.” As to Denise’s promise to never mention Joey’s name again in press interviews, Joey feels there is no need to give any further explanation, as the two have a deep understanding.
