The defamation lawsuit, filed by Ms Wong last August, was sparked by six Instagram Stories titled “Cheater of 2020" that Ms Wu had posted on her account in December 2020.

Ms Wong is seeking damages of S$150,000, including aggravated damages, from Ms Wu over the Instagram posts.

Ms Wong was married to national footballer Anders Aplin, and Ms Wu alleged in the posts that Ms Wong cheated on him. The couple met while studying at Nanyang Technological University and dated for six years before getting married on Dec 27, 2019.

About four months later, they decided to annul the marriage. Their annulment was completed around March last year.

In her Instagram Stories, Ms Wu, who is an acquaintance of Mr Aplin’s current girlfriend, accused Ms Wong of being intimate with her gym trainer and another friend. The friend was also the emcee at the wedding.

Ms Wu further asserted that Ms Wong had sex with the emcee, Mr Alan Wan, on her wedding night.

As for the gym trainer, Ms Wu alleged that he engaged in “intimate and sexual conversations” with Ms Wong through text messages on Telegram when she was dating Mr Aplin.
