In May 2023, Wong gave an interview to Variety magazine to talk about her series Beef, and during the conversation, she commented on how her love life has become a public spectacle.
“It’s so weird. I can’t even explain it. I’ve never had my photo taken by paparazzi before this year,” Wong told Variety. “I was talking to someone recently and he said, ‘I think it’s very alarming when something like that happens because you feel like you’re going to get caught when you’ve actually done nothing wrong.'” In retrospect, it was someone who was giving me advice about a past relationship with a celebrity. They spent so much energy hiding that it defined their entire relationship. It still sticks with me and it’s quite an adjustment.”
In the same interview, Wong also explained how her relationship influenced her comedy.
“I’m not single now, but I was single for a long time after my divorce. Talking about my life as a single woman was very convincing. When I practiced, I had a habit of speaking as if I was still single. What’s strange is that now[my love life]It’s public information. For me, stand-up is still an abstraction of truth, and it doesn’t represent all of me. To respect my relationships, I have to practice speaking in the past tense.”
