A new saga: On Jan. 25, 2018, someone took to Facebook to accuse Singaporean YouTuber Eden Ang of sexual harassment.

The user, whose Facebook name is Kuroe Kun, claims a friend of hers was asked to strip to her underwear and allegedly warned by Ang that he would spank her if she refused.

The victim went on to insinuate that he also slapped her butt and "touch(ed) her inappropriately".

Ang is best known as being one of the people behind local YouTube channel Wah!Banana, and acted in Tanglin, the long-running English drama on Channel 5.

According to Kun's post, the victim also alleged that she knows "more than one" other person who was harassed by Ang.

Kun also wrote that her friend had reported the case to the police, but claims she was turned away.

Also outed by Dee Kosh

On Thursday night, YouTuber and radio deejay, Dee Kosh, whose real name is Darryl Ian Koshy, also raised the matter on his Instagram account in a live video, which he subsequently recorded and uploaded onto his own YouTube channel.

In his video, Koshy showed what he alleged to be additional screenshots of messages between Ang and the girl in question, documenting what supposedly happened before the alleged act of sexual harassment.

Koshy said the girl, whom he says is 18 years old, was allegedly employed by Ang as his personal assistant, whom she met at a boxing match.

He summarises the text message exchange between them as follows:

  • Ang texted her to "cover up" on a Tuesday, and then to "dress different" on a Wednesday.
  • She replied that she would prefer to dress professionally on both days, then he said "Good girls listen to daddy", followed by, "You should call me that, actually".
  • She replies, "You're not my daddy", to which he says, "Cute".
  • He says "You'll see but today, cover up and be professional." She says, "What do you mean? I always cover up." And he responds, "Wednesday will be fun." And she said "nope, don't touch me."
  • He responds with: "Yoooooou wish mei mei"
  • She says, "Seriously don't. May I remind you that I have a boyfriend?"

Koshy alleged that on the day Ang allegedly ended up touching the the teenager, he had "punished" her by asking her to clean equipment and props for not attending a shoot he had. Ang had also allegedly asked the girl to wear a G-string.

The following is what Koshy claims took place between Ang and the girl on WhatsApp:

"Wait, what do I even wear tomorrow. What's a cute g"

"G? Thong? Thought you have many"

"Oh/ Don't wanna / Wedgie/ I don't have a big tee"

"I have big tee"

"Borrow daddy's ok"

"Listen to daddym [sic] show your best assest [sic]"

But she allegedly complied anyway, he said, and wore a G-string to work. She claims Ang allegedly then told her to take off her pants, and she did, and he allegedly either smacked or touched her butt.
