The public spat between veteran blogger Xiaxue and influencer Simonboy has escalated into the courts, after she criticised his Forever Megan Charity setup and both sides traded harassment-related claims. What began as an online fallout in November 2025 has become the latest case study in how quickly clashes between public figures can turn into formal legal battles in Singapore.
The conflict started on November 12, when Xiaxue, whose real name is Wendy Cheng, criticised the 38-year-old TikTok personality over his new charity initiative, named in memory of his late daughter. The Forever Megan Charity had launched earlier that month on Simonboy's birthday, with its first project funding a visit to the Good Samaritan Home, an orphanage in Klang, Malaysia. Xiaxue was unsparing: sharing a screenshot of Simonboy carrying a toddler, she wrote that he had three children with three different mothers, had neglected his first child for 11 years before meeting the child for the first time in 2024, and had documented it all on social media. She suggested he had enough children of his own to handle without taking care of other people's.
Simonboy, whose real name is Simon Khung, responded with a lawyer's cease-and-desist letter, which Xiaxue promptly posted on her Instagram Story, cheekily captioning it as another lawyer's letter to add to her collection and telling followers she was preparing a response. She refused to apologise or give in to his demands, and the dispute drew in further parties: the father of the late Megan Khung was reported to have filed his own lawsuit, turning a two-way feud into a multi-sided legal quagmire.
The case has reignited debate over influencer accountability in Singapore. Critics of Simonboy questioned the timing and sincerity of a charity launched in the wake of intense public scrutiny of his family tragedy, while supporters argued that attacking a charitable project crossed a line regardless of the founder's past. Observers noted the familiar pattern of creator-economy disputes: criticism posted in minutes, lawyer letters by return, and an audience of millions watching the discovery process threaten to expose everyone's dirty linen.
For Xiaxue, one of Singapore's original blogging stars, the fight was characteristic: she has built a two-decade career on refusing to back down. For Simonboy, whose livelihood depends on social media, the legal route carried obvious risks. As the matter moved through formal channels, it served as a reminder that in the age of instant reactions, words carry weight long after the Story expires, and that the line between commentary and harassment is ultimately drawn not by followers, but by judges.
