  The straw that broke the camel’s back seems to have happened at a gathering about a month ago, when Lingling allegedly made some comments about Calvert’s personal life, which upset Huifang. Calvert, 18, is said to be dating actress Julie Tan, 26.

  Huifang followed this message with another one on her Instagram account. She wrote in Mandarin: “To deal with hypocritical people, you can’t scold her, you can’t expose her. You just need to let her continue to be sad and hypocritical. You just have to pretend you don’t know anything. And slowly, more and more people will run to tell you just how hypocritical she is.”

  Although she didn’t specify at the time who the message was directed at, many now know that it referred to what happened between the two actresses.

  Most recently, an angry Whatsapp message from Huifang have made the rounds among their friends and colleagues.

  It hinted that Lingling had commented on a past relationship of Huifang’s daughter Tay Ying (pictured), which she says the youngster still harbours today, and it continues to hurt Huifang’s husband.

  Lingling had also supposedly suggested her son Calvert go for a sexually-transmitted disease inoculation jab.

  “Enough is enough, Pan Lingling, you better listen up. I have already made my stand very clear! Why is it that I still hear that you’re going around talking about them…” the message went.

  Neither actress could be reached for comment. When The Straits Times contacted former Mediacorp actor Huang Shinan, who is married to Lingling, he said he did not know what the disagreement was about and added: “They were both at a birthday gathering last month.”

  The couple have two teenage sons Beckham and Kynaston.

  In an interview with Zaobao, Shinan also shared that he’s worried about Lingling whose breast cancer is in remission. He said: “Her mood is naturally affected but she doesn’t say anything about it. She is still on medication. I’m worried that she will be emotionally affected by this.”
