SINGAPORE — Singaporean Cheng Wing Yee, better known on video-game streaming platform Twitch as Kiaraakitty, has been banned from entering Taiwan over a staged egg-pelting incident there.

Cheng has been barred from Taiwan for up to five years, a report by its Central News Agency stated on Tuesday (Feb 27).

The move by the Taiwanese authorities came days after Cheng made headlines for staging the incident with her 32-year-old Singaporean male assistant during a livestream on Feb 9.

The Central News Agency reported on Feb 9 that the assistant has also been barred from entering Taiwan.

In an Instagram post on Feb 3, Cheng said that she would embark on a 21-day walk across the island on Feb 4.

In the livestream, she was walking alone in Kaohsiung city when a person dressed in a floral dress appeared and pelted her with eggs while shouting in Mandarin that Cheng had seduced her husband.

Cheng screamed in response before walking away, saying that this was "the life of doing OnlyFans".

OnlyFans is a content subscription service that hosts the work of creators who produce pornography but also other instructional content such as fitness and cooking.

After this, Cheng allegedly told Taiwanese media outlet TVBS that she had made a police report over the incident.

Media outlet Focus Taiwan said that the Taiwanese authorities disputed this on Feb 11, saying that they did not receive any such report.

Investigations later found that the attack was a staged incident where Cheng's assistant had dressed as a woman.

A video on Taiwanese news outlet TVBS showed the "attacker" taking off the dress and changing into spare clothes along an alley near where the incident occurred.

The police in Taiwan determined that the duo had orchestrated the incident for online views and the case was referred to the Kaohsiung District Court, Focus Taiwan reported.

The duo were deemed to have violated Taiwan's Social Order Maintenance Act for spreading rumours and disrupting public peace.

Cheng was instructed by the Taiwanese police to post a public apology on her Facebook page or during a subsequent livestream over the incident, which she did on Feb 24 by claiming that she "just wanted to be funny".

Both Cheng and her assistant left Taiwan on Feb 26, the National Immigration Agency there said.

TODAY has reached out to Cheng for comment.
