FILM-MAKER Jack Neo's wife says she does not care if more women come forward with claims that her scandal-ridden husband has hit on them.
In her first interview since he admitted last Friday to having a two-year affair with actress-model Wendy Chong, 22, Madam Irene Kng told Lianhe Wanbao: 'Whatever they want to say, let them say it. We can't stop them and we won't stop them.'
She was speaking to the newspaper on Tuesday night, after a second woman, actress-host Foyce Le Xuan, 25, said he wooed her when she signed with his production company, J Team, in 2004.
A third woman, French student Maelle Meurzec, 21, has since gone public about rejecting his romantic overtures when she was a 16-year-old extra in his 2005 film, I Do, I Do.
