TVB executives protect Tracey Ip
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
Tracy Ip suddenly took 3 months off earlier and was rumoured being frozen by TVB due to having too much negative press. Recently she had returned to work and started hosting the programme "E-Buzz". Yesterday afternoon was the first time she had appeared at a public event since returning. She attended as a guest with Sharon Luk for the "China Hong Kong City xkubi Fun Park" function. TVB executives were overly protective of her and did not allow reporters to get near her. At one point they used the excuse that she was adding more make-up. But when the event finished they were rushing to leave and pulled her away. They said she was rushing back to TVB City to do a live programme and resisted in doing interviews. Tracy who was in the middle appeared hopeless and didn't know what to do. Afterwards they finally allowed the reporters to ask 4 questions.When Tracy was answering questions she appeared focused. She was asked since returning to work whether she was used to doing shopping mall events? She said it was like normal. She was then asked if she was afraid of the media? She said she didn't want to talk about the past and will be very careful.
Did the company give you pressure and tell you not to say too much? Tracy was blank for a moment and said "I will be extra careful". Will your receive more work afterwards? She said she will need to ask her management. Finally she was asked whether she had suffered a bad loss due to recent property prices dropping? She casually said she will not talk about private matters.
