Cyber-bullying caused suicidal thoughts in G.E.M.

Hong Kong singer G.E.M. talks about her struggle with nasty comments from haters

Cyber-bullying caused suicidal thoughts in G.E.M.

Hong Kong songstress G.E.M’s (Gloria Tang) ascend to the top of the music industry is one fraught with controversy. She has been embroiled in several negative rumours throughout her nine-year career and recently disclosed that she used to have suicidal thoughts.

The 25 year-old singer appeared in a YouTube video hosted by Hong Kong YouTuber known as Bo Zi last Saturday (July 1) for a ‘lie detector challenge’ which involved her answering a series of questions while her hand was attached to a ‘lie detector’ (the detector would deliver a shock to her hand if she was lying or light up if she was telling the truth).

After a few lighthearted questions, Bo Zi asked the singer if she has ever thought of committing suicide and G.E.M immediately admitted that she has “thought of suicide many times but did not do it” and the ‘lie detector’ lit up.

She explained: “Cyber-bullying (referring to nasty comments about her online) affected me greatly and this issue has also pushed other celebrities to suicide before. I just didn’t know how to make people believe me, do I have to draw up a will? I thought maybe killing myself would do the job”.

However, G.E.M ended the solemn moment on a reassuring note when she shared that “finding religion” helped her become “a happier person.”

“I no longer think about suicide,” she added.

The singer faced backlash recently for her alleged diva attitude and snide remarks about her ex-boyfriend, Taiwanese singer Yoga Lin. She has since refrained from sharing news about her relationship status and personal life.
