SINGAPORE: For staging an egg attack on herself in Taiwan, Singaporean influencer and Twitch streamer KiaraaKitty has been banned from the island by local authorities, said Taiwan's immigration department in a statement on Tuesday (Feb 27).
On Feb 9, KiaraaKitty, whose real name is Cheng Wing Yee, was in Taiwan's southern city of Kaohsiung while livestreaming on Twitch when a person in a red dress and blue slippers began throwing eggs at her.
With Cheng screaming, the person is then heard shouting at the influencer, accusing Cheng of allegedly seducing her husband and warning her to stay away from him. Cheng then says aloud she does not know who the person's husband is.
After the person walks away, Cheng concludes that the attack was a result of her posts on OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform known for adult content.
Cheng told Taiwanese news reporters the following day, Feb 10, that she had reported the incident to the police. The Kaohsiung police said on Feb 11 that this was not the case and that Cheng had not filed any reports.
Police investigations then found that the attacker was Cheng's 32-year-old Singaporean male assistant, who had worked with Cheng to garner attention with the staged attack, according to Taiwanese media.
Cheng admitted in a livestream on Feb 24 that the video was a prank and apologised for her actions, after Kaohsiung police asked her to issue a public apology as the incident "had impacted negatively on the image of the southern port city", reported Focus Taiwan.
On Tuesday, Taiwan's Central News Agency, citing the immigration department, said that Cheng and her assistant had left the island and would not be allowed to enter Taiwan for up to five years.
The immigration department stated that foreigners were welcome in Taiwan as tourists but would not be allowed to engage in illegal activities.
"If cases similar to those that undermine social harmony and stability are found to be true after investigation, law enforcement will be implemented and severe punishment will be imposed," read the statement.
CNA has approached Cheng for comment.
