Controversy

While hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics' program Today in Beijing on Channel 5, Jade was reportedly to utter a profanity after pronouncing the name of a Chinese athlete wrong. The scene has shifted from the studio to a recorded clip of a basketball match when the vulgarity was heard. The scene was recorded and uploaded to YouTube. It has led to plenty of discussions on online forums, blogs and also on Facebook. However, her artiste manager has deny that Jade had utter any profanity and that MediaCorp has confirmed this. [3]

However, the next day, Mr Kenneth Liang, executive vice-president (TV Programming & Production, Channel 5), MediaCorp TV confirms that Jade has uttered the profanity unintentionally. The microphone was not switched off after her lines were delivered which led to her reaction over the fluff being captured on the program. Jade will not be replaced as the co-host of Today in Beijing. [4] In a statement from Channel 5, Jade Seah apologised for the profanity uttered and explained for her over reaction.[5]
