FACE Magazine reporters prohibited to enter TVB, Samantha Ko in a great mood

It was said TVB artist Samantha Ko relies solely on her 'relationship' with the boss Chan Kwok Keung to get up top and successfully 'kicked' Kate Tsui out. Once the report published, TVB quickly held a press conference for Samantha, where she clarified the rumor in tears. Kate and Samantha also made a second clarification on Scoop together. TVB decided to send out a lawyer's letter prohibiting the FACE magazine reporters from entering TVB City for interviews. In addition, the boss Chan Kwok Keung was very upset by the issue, therefore a SMS was sent out to all TVB artists, stating the FACE Magazine Issue#287 cover story is completely fabricated, which damages TVB's reputation and there are plans to take legal action against the magazine. Effective immediately, [FACE] reporters are not allow to participate in any of TVB's programs and events, Mr. Chan asked all of his artists to accommodate this new regulation until further notice. Although the message was clearly a "friendly reminder", nobody dares to disobey the imperial order.

Reporters contacted TVB deputy director of foreign affairs, Mr. Tsang Shing Ming, to confirm if the "friendly reminder" message was sent to all TVB artists. He frankly expressed: "It's a personal message to the artists from the artists department. TVB will no longer tolerate fabricated stories and false reports. The main reason is because we must protect our artists' reputation and safeguard TVB's image." Samantha Ko thanked TVB for their defense, but she does not want to mention the issue again. Christine Kuo who had also emotionally broke down before due to false news, expressed: "I respect TVB's decision. (Do you think TVB only did something because the boss Chan Kwok Keung was one of the victims?) Of course not, before when the media invaded Vincent Wong and Bosco Wong privacy, TVB already took action. They have always protected their artists."

Yesterday Samantha attended an event in a great mood. When asked about the recent rumors with the TVB boss, she said she has recovered from it. She also exposed she has a rape scene in her new series Friendly Fire. When speaking of disappointing the audience, she laughed: "The rape is not the main focus. This time, there is lots of character development."
