A Taiwanese influencer claimed that she was denied entry into Singapore in October 2025 to watch the Formula 1 (F1) Grand Prix.
The woman, Fang Qiyuan, known online as “Sprite” and by the nickname “Queen of Eroticism”, said she was taken to one side even before she could retrieve her passport.
According to Taiwanese media reports, Fang said her luggage and mobile phone were searched, and that she was held in a “small dark room” overnight before being deported 24 hours later.
Refused entry
According to Mirror Media, Fang said she had been invited by a friend from Singapore to watch the F1 Grand Prix.
She added that her mobile phone, which contained suggestive photos taken for her work as an OnlyFans creator, was confiscated and checked by personnel at the airport.
Fang was ultimately sent back to Taiwan.
She also claimed she was not told the exact reason for the refusal of entry.
Used to travel to Singapore often

Fang said she used to travel frequently to Singapore when she was dating a Singaporean boyfriend.
After the incident, her ex-boyfriend reportedly helped her seek answers via a lawyer, but to no avail.
She added that she would likely have to spend a significant amount of time applying for the necessary permits if she wished to re-enter Singapore in the future.
Traumatised
Fang said the incident had a “great psychological impact” on her, leaving her with nightmares, insomnia, and symptoms related to autonomic nervous system disorders.
“I felt like my self-esteem had been brutally trampled on, and I felt like my soul had left my body,” she said.
She said she eventually sought help from a psychiatrist and was prescribed medication to manage her panic and sleep issues.
Her condition gradually improved by December last year.
She added that her mood improved after seeing how “beautiful” she looked following a trip to Shanghai for plastic surgery in the same month she got better.
Clarified she did not intentionally hide explicit photos
In a Facebook post on Feb. 4, Fang clarified that she was not involved in any illegal activities and did not intentionally hide the contents of her phone.
She said she made the post in response to “sensational headlines” by Taiwanese media outlets, which made it appear as though she had been deported for possessing explicit photos.
As an OnlyFans creator, she said it was reasonable for her to have such photos of herself on her phone.
Her post reiterated that the reason for not being allowed into Singapore was still not known.
Entry in S’pore not a right or automatic
In response to Mothership‘s queries, the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said it is aware of online reports regarding Fang’s denial of entry into Singapore.
ICA said Fang arrived in Singapore on Sep. 29, 2025 and was referred by ICA officers for further checks during immigration clearance.
These checks included an interview and checks of her belongings. She was assessed to be ineligible for a visit pass and was refused entry into Singapore, ICA said.
They added:
“ICA would like to reiterate that a foreigner’s entry into Singapore is neither a right nor automatic. Each visitor’s entry is considered on its own merits.
The granting of visit passes to visitors is assessed and determined by officers at the checkpoints upon arrival.
Visitors must fulfil our entry requirements and may be subjected to interviews and additional checks before they are granted entry.”
