Alyssa Chia Attends Charity Event Amid Controversy Over Daughter’s Piercing
On February 19, 2024, Alyssa Chia made an appearance at a charity event organized by a well-known ice cream brand. The event, aimed at promoting women’s programs, saw the artist in attendance despite the ongoing controversy surrounding her eldest daughter’s facial piercing.
In a report by Ma Weifen for The Epoch Times, Chia addressed the public scrutiny over her daughter Angel’s piercing, stating that she firmly believes in allowing her children to have their own ideas as they grow up. She emphasized that her daughters have been taught from a young age that they are responsible for their own bodies and decisions.
Chia revealed that she had spoken to Angel about her own aesthetics and preferences, but ultimately respects her daughter’s choices. “I think she has reached an age where she has to take responsibility for herself. She knows what she wants to do. I just hope she is safe and healthy,” Chia said.
Despite the criticism from some quarters, Chia expressed that she is no longer worried about external opinions, showing a firm stance in her support for Angel’s decision. Additionally, she mentioned a recent incident during a vacation where Angel accidentally swallowed a tongue ring. Chia assured the public that Angel is not experiencing any physical discomfort as a result.
The event was a platform for Chia to emphasize her stance on personal autonomy and responsibility, drawing attention to the importance of self-determination and respecting individual choices.
As Chia resumes work after the Chinese New Year, her attendance at the charity event serves as a powerful statement in support of women’s programs and the empowerment of individuals to make their own choices.
