Sire Ma Restarts Career as Program Host
After a long hiatus, Sire Ma (馬賽) will soon be returning to the small screen to host a TVB Mandarin program. Despite rumors that she was blacklisted by the company after her lesbian love scandal, the 26-year-old denies losing favor with the higher-ups and insists that TVB is continuing to nurture her career.
Once a heavily promoted artiste, Sire quickly fell from grace last year after failed attempts to cover-up a dramatic love triangle between herself, Mainland producer Wang Ziqi (汪子琦), and Chinese-American businesswoman Laura Lee. The public became outraged by Sire’s repeated denials when intimate video evidence surfaced, and the issue was further escalated when Laura alleged that Sire was the third wheel while Ziqi labeled her a liar.
TVB ordered Sire to take a two-month break following the incident, prompting rumors that she has been frozen by the company. Although executive Virginia Lok (樂易玲) later arranged a public apology and stated that she is still under their contract, Sire has maintained a low profile for most of 2014 waiting to make a comeback. Ready to put her back to work, TVB has recently assigned her to cover the upcoming World Cup competition along with her idol colleagues. The company is also giving her a chance to make regular TV appearances by making her the host of a Mandarin-language program on the TVB Entertainment channel.
Speaking at a public event on June 2, Sire expressed excitement over her new gig and is thankful for the opportunity. Despite having to rebuild her career from the bottom up, she praised TVB for their care and feels that their latest assignment is unrelated to her past scandal. Briefly studying communications before her industry debut, Sire is currently refreshing her presentation skills and finds this challenge a good way to shape herself into a well-rounded entertainer. “I used to be afraid of speaking, but now I feel more confident about being a host. Different types of work provide different challenges and learning experiences. I hope to become an all-around artiste.”

Awesome move if that means she’s gonna be in less dramas
You read my mind completely. Lol.
It means she’s going to have the same fate as Shirley yeung.
Pretty sad.
No improvement since that Bobo series or even the entire career at TVB.
She probably have to find a manager to sleep with to give her another chance.
Thought she had good potential, but 布布 布布 just made cringe.

Bobo!
Agreed! She did have potential but that character was just horrible.. Don’t blame her Eva was just a poorly developed character in general!
She made a bad career move by denying the love relationship though… Should’ve came clean!
Inexperience and probably bad advice by 620.
hi there
1. just give the gal a break.
2. whatever her orientation may be.
3. it is none of anyone’s biz.
4. so what if she chooses to abstinent next.
Uh, lesbian or not, who cares. She was lying to the press that she was in a lesbian relationship and also she didnt even handle the lesbian lover breakup situation. Her lesbian lover dis her badly resulted bad press for Sire Ma.
Get your facts, mun hon.
Yup, she’s a liar.
@mun hon You are so right. It’s the intolerance of the people. These are the times when I wish HKTV actually existed so people like Sire can flip the bird at TVB and jet over to an alternative.
Hktv sucks
“people like Sire can flip the bird at TVB and jet over to an alternative.”
Wingless can’t fly. LOL!
HKTV, no money, no talk. LOL!
What?
larry, and you believe the crap from the press.
“laugh die me”
“larry, and you believe the crap from the press.”
You too.
LOL!
Huh? Believe what you want. Its the truth!
Good thing there is only one free-to-air TV station in Hong Kong. Otherwise, we cannot punish her for her behavior.
