Third girl talks about Neo's tricks
Wendy Chong and Foyce Le Xuan were not the only girls that Jack Neo had hit on in the past.
Lianhe Wanbao has since dug up more stories on the director’s scandolous past, since it broke the story on the affair between Neo and 22-year-old model Chong earlier on
Two more girls were added to his list of prey, with the first one being a rich young girl who was nicknamed “Singapore’s Kathy Chow”.
She was introduced to Neo through a mutual friend. For a month, he had called her.
He eventually gave up when she showed no sign of reciprocating his feelings.
According to The New Paper, Neo had tried to woo a 16-year-old five years ago.
French student Maelle Meurzec, now 21, was one of the extras in the 2004 movie I Do I Do.

The director had reportedly put his hand around her during their first meeting and later bombarded her with text messages, asking for a dinner date in a hotel.
Maelle said she thought nothing of the director’s gestures, until she received a text message from him on Christmas day in 2004, saying that he wished to be with her.
Maille eventually confided in her mother, Agnes Meurzex, 51, and the family even planned to lodge a police report if things got out of hand.
Neo stopped contacting her after that, she said.
Neo’s sex scandal had affected his public image, with many expressing shock and disgust over the affair.
Now it has even cost him his endorsement deal with electronics giant Mitsubishi Electric Asia, reported channelnewsasia.com.
The company is removing any of its advertisements which feature Neo, said a spokesperson. On top of that, the contract between Mitsubishi Electric Asia and J-Team Productions will not be renewed.
Bee Cheng Hiang, Goh Joo Hin and maid agency Jack Focus Helpers – of which Neo had been a spokesperson – had yet to confirm whether they would continue their collaborations with the filmmaker.
