Jackie Chan’s daughter comes out as a lesbian
Etta Ng is estranged from her actor father
Jackie Chan’s daughter has come out as a lesbian on Instagram.
Etta Ng, 18, posted a photo of herself with a rainbow backdrop along with the hashtags “lgbtqai,” “lgbt,” “lesbian” and “androgynous.”
Social media star Andi Autumn also revealed she is dating Ng in an Instagram post in support of Ng’s coming out.
“I’ve never met anyone like @stolenmilktea . She has given me a chance to fully express the running thoughts in my head,” Autumn writes. No judgements, just understanding. Everything was against us. We’ve been pushed down again and again but its worth it knowing we will get through it together, side by side.”
“We are living in such an international city and yet so many people have their minds closed off. But none of it matters when I know every morning your going to be next to me. I love you,” Autumn continues.
Ng is the daughter of Chan and Chinese actress Elaine Ng, who briefly had an extra-marital affair while Chan was married to Joan Lin. Etta has stated that she is not in contact with Chan and does not consider him her father.
Chan also “came out” in support of the LGBT community in a PSA ad for GLAAD in 2013.
