Selina Jen reveals toxic comments following her 2010 fire accident

17 Jul – The internet could be the best place to earn support and encouragement for your problems, but it also has some of the worst human beings on the planet who want nothing but to hurt other people.

S.H.E's Selina Jen knew this very well, according to ET Today, as she admitted recently on the variety show, "The Egg 28". The singer stated that she became the subject of mockery of some netizens who were insensitive to her plight, after her 2010 set accident that caused her to suffer third-degree burns on more than 54 percent of her body.

She revealed that some netizens insulted her and called her names like "roast pig" just because she gained weight following the accident.

"Yes, it was true that I suffered from burns and I put on weight after that. Maybe I find it funny now, but it was hurtful back then when I read it," she said, holding back tears.

Selina stated that it has been nine years since the tragedy happened, and that she has become tougher and stronger since then.

"I don't know why I am crying right now," she said.

Addressing the other guests of the show, Selina said that they possibly share similar experiences of online bullying and criticisms.

"The next time you get such comments, I want you to know that you are not alone, because Selina Jen has also faced such [insults], even until today," she added.
