Jackie Chan’s estranged daughter Etta Ng Chok Lam, 18 and her girlfriend Andi Autumn, 30, released a video, that went viral, claiming that they are homeless and sleeping under a bridge because of ‘homophobic parents’. In the video, Etta introduces herself as Jackie Chan’s daughter and says she’s in Canada with her girlfriend Andi Autumn. The two have turned to people on internet to ask for help, saying that they are on verge of going homeless. Etta reportedly moved to Canada with Andi after she came out as lesbian in October last year.
In the caption of the video, the couple said that the acquaintance who has been providing them with lodging is no longer able to help them and the two are trying to find help from folks on internet as they have denied help from whoever they have reached out to recently.

In the video, the 18-year-old can be heard saying, “I don’t even understand what’s happening because we have gone to the police, we have gone to the hospital, foodbanks, LGBTQ communities, shelters and all of them just don’t give a s**t. Andi Autumn, 30-year-old social media influencer and teacher from Canada added, “I have asked all my friends and family for help and everyone just keeps sending us to the direction of shelters where they know we will be split up.”
Etta Ng is Jackie Chan’s daughter with actress and former beauty queen Elaine Ng Yi Lei with whom the actor had an affair with, which he has acknowledged in the past. Before Etta Ng switched places, she reportedly dropped out of school because of her troubled relationship with her mother. Meanwhile, in an interview with Coconuts, Ng’s mother Elaine alleged that Eta required medical help and that she’s been skipping her consultations since she moved out of Hong Kong.
Elaine also suggested that the two should start working instead of referring to Jackie Chan in any way for financial help, “I feel that if they have no money, they should go find work. They shouldn’t film a clip telling others they are broke and who Etta’s father is. People all over the world work hard and don’t rely on someone else’s fame to get money.” Meanwhile, Jackie Chan has stayed quiet and not released any statement on the matter.
