The relationship between Jackie Chan and Etta Ng has been strained, with reports indicating that Jackie Chan disowned her after she came out as a lesbian.

While there are claims and allegations suggesting that Jackie Chan abandoned his daughter Etta Ng, the specifics of their relationship dynamics remain largely private. The public response to these allegations highlights the importance of familial relationships and acceptance, especially in cases where personal identities clash with traditional values.
Not doing well
It now looks like Etta Ng, 22, isn’t doing too well for herself.
According to a netizen, they recently spotted Etta waiting in line at a soup kitchen, which hands out free food to the needy, in Toronto, Canada.
The said netizen also posted pictures of Etta that they snapped.
In the pics, a “shabbily” dressed Etta can be seen with an open tote bag in front of her, which she presumably set out for the food.
In fact, these netizens are so convinced that Etta’s in need of monetary assistance that they’re now calling on Jackie to help out.
Etta’s mother, and Jackie’s ex-mistress, actress Elaine Ng, has also claimed that Jackie has never given them a single cent in child support.
But then, Etta’s not exactly on speaking terms with Elaine either.
