A simple mistake can often lead to big disasters. Local internet celebrity Gatita Yan (Tong Lee Yan) has certainly had a taste of this over the weekend! A wayward photo of her showing some skin during an event recently caused a huge problem for Gatita. Apparently, said photo got her banned from the event.
Gatita did manage to resolve the matter with the event organisers. However, there were still some questions left unanswered. Luckily, the person who started the whole mess came forward to clarify what exactly had happened.
For those not in the know, Gatita had been attending a 4-day workshop. During the workshop, they apparently held a fancy dinner party in their best dress. Some took the opportunity to grab a few photos with Gatita then as well. Unfortunately, one photo caught her showing off her leg when she brushed her skirt aside.
The person who took the photo hadn’t noticed it after the photo was taken. Unfortunately, they also failed to check said photo before sending it to a small group of 10 others. The person responsible later stated that they had uploaded the photos from their phone’s album without clicking into them. “The photos were small when I selected them on my phone, and I didn’t notice the details,” they admitted.
However, they later realised their mistake when the news went viral. Apparently, one member of the group had studied under the organisation. They took offence with Gatita’s behaviour and made a complaint. However, the complainer supposedly hadn’t been at the party. They also did not approach the poster about the photo and instead, took the direct route to the organisers. This led to Gatita’s ban from the event which was effective immediately.

The person responsible felt guilty for the mess and made an apology to Gatita. They also felt that the matter had been very biased and handled wrongly. “She said very rationally that she didn’t blame me, and understood that I was just taking photos,” they added.
As it turns out, they had also attempted to approach the organisers to clarify the issue. However, their answer was less than satisfactory. The organisers apparently claimed that they were simply doing their best to respect their members. The person responsible felt that they were the least qualified people to say that.
Well, luckily, things ended in Gatita’s favour. Kudos to the original poster for attempting to take responsibility at least!
