金宵大厦2｜黄婉华首回应涂黑演菲佣涉歧视指控：绝非有意不尊重

无线热播剧《金宵大厦2》早前播出的单元《姐姐》入面，饰演家佣姐姐LuLu的演员黄婉华刻意涂黑自己扮菲律宾外佣，岂料却因此而被指有歧视之嫌，事件引起广泛讨论以及无数的争议，更扩展到国际层面，被外国媒体公开批评。无线其后亦有回应有关事件，否认歧视国籍，强调绝无意在任何节目中表达不尊重或歧视任何国籍，并向任何可能受此事影响之人士表达歉意。

而饰演“姐姐”的黄婉华今早终于为此事首度作出回应，她于IG以英文写道：

“I have taken some time over the past few days to process my emotions, reflect, speak to members of the community and listen to the many voices that have reached out to me.

I sincerely apologise to all who have been negatively affected in any way by the 7th chapter "Jei Jei" of the Barrack O'Karma 1968 drama series, and my role in it. I have learned through this incident that professionally trying my best to analyse, interpret and act a given role to fulfil the storyline, is only part of the job.

I genuinely have no intention to disrespect or racially discriminate any ethnic group, please forgive me for getting it wrong. It has been a challenging experience to be at the centre of a lesson that art reflects deeply entrenched social attitudes. Open sharing, if handled well, can surely only be good in raising awareness of issues that need to be discussed. I am truly sorry that my insensitivities have offended and hurt. I am committed more than ever to using my acting for the good of the community.”

黄婉华的发文大意是指经过连日来的处理她的情绪，聆听外间的反应和声音，以及对有关机构倾谈后，她真诚地向任何受此事影响的人士表示歉意。她会从今次事件中学习，并希望大家明白她的工作是尽其最大努力演好角色，绝非有意不尊重或种族歧视的成份，恳请大家体谅。她又表示这次事件对她是很具挑战性的经历，令她从中明白原来作为演员的演出会引起那么大的迥响和声音。她再次向受影响人士道歉，表示自己比以往任何时候都更致力于利用她的表演为社区造福。
