Unlike many of her peers, Penang-born Ella has, in her glittering 21-year career, managed to maintain a relatively squeaky clean image, with most of the attention focusing on her music.
However, local Internet forums were abuzz last week following rumours that the rock queen had become embroiled in a sex video scandal.
A 36-second video clip, allegedly featuring Ella and her sister, Jojie, engaging in sexual activities on board a cruise ship, was making its rounds on the Internet.
In the clip, a woman, supposedly resembling Ella, was seen clad in a blue towel while another couple in another corner of the room were engaged in a sexual act.
So, was it really her? “Trust me. If it was really me, I would have gone into hiding,” said Ella when contacted by The Malay Mail yesterday.
Ella said she was aware of the video clip and could not believe her eyes when she saw that the clip was being associated with her.
“I was amused at fi rst, then angry. I was fi lled with mixed emotions,” she said.
“I don’t know what were the intentions of these people who posted these clips and claiming that it was me. It’s just amazing the things that people are willing to say and do.
“Don’t they have any fear of sins and God?” Ella, however, remained philosophical over the issue. “I believe that God is fair; what goes around comes around,” she said.
She dismissed the possibility that her fans and members of the public would believe that it really was her in the clip.
“My fans and the public are not stupid. They all know that I’m not that kind of person,” she said.
On whether she will take action against those who posted the clips and claimed that it was her, Ella said she’s willing to drop the matter, at least for the time being.
“However, if things get blown out of proportion and it goes on to damage my reputation, then I won’t hesitate to take legal action,” she said.
On a happier note, Ella said her career is going smoothly as she is busy promoting her latest album, Rama-Rama II: Edisi Emas.
She is also slated to do a duet with fellow singer Ajai for a special project to be released later this year.

Update:
PETALING JAYA: Rock singer Ella lodged a police report yesterday to quash rumours that she and her sister, Jojie, had been involved in a sex video.
The video clip, which supposedly features “Ella and Jojie” involved in sexual activities on board a cruise ship, has been widely spread on the Internet.
“We were shocked when we found out about it,” said Jojie when contacted yesterday.
“I don’t know what people's intentions were when they claimed that we were the persons in the clip. We hope to find the real culprit behind this.”
According to Jojie, she and her sister had wanted to ignore the gossip but after getting many enquiries from friends and fans of Ella, who is known as the Queen of Rock, both of them decided to lodge the police report at the Jalan Tun Razak station in Kuala Lumpur.
“We have watched the clip but the (faces were) not clear. Our family members were also upset, so we decided to lodge the report. If it was really us, of course we would not dare to make any report,” said Jojie, who added that the video could affect their reputations.
Jojie did not deny the possibility that the culprit's motive was to damage Ella’s career as a singer.
“We do not know who did this to us. I don’t think we have enemies. But one never knows,” said Jojie.
“Fortunately, Ella is strong enough to handle the matter. Though she was initially mad and frustrated, she still managed to handle it. Our family has also been very supportive as they know us better.
“Maybe we will hold a press conference later for further clarification on the case,” she said, adding that this was the worst rumour spread about her sister so far.
Saucy stories about the video clip had been given extensive coverage in Malay newspapers and an English tabloid recently.

FM did a search in google (e.g. Google search terms: Ella on popular demand ) and found the supposedly Ella video. FM cannot verify whether this is the same video purportedly reported in the press. But based on the description of the alleged video clip in The Malay Mail, it could possibly be the same video. Upon viewing the alleged video, it is obvious it is NOT Ella. The conversation in the said video is obviously in Thai language, not Bahasa Malaysia. Further it is alleged that the video is taken on a cruise ship. Come on, it is obvious the setting is not on a cruise ship but rather (it seems like) some seedy room in an obscure back lane in Thailand. Verdict: A very poor attempt to pass off a Thai sex video clip for Ella. If the Press really viewed the video clip and listen to the conversation, which is in Thai, the conclusion is obvious.
