Siew Pui Yi (born August 1, 1998), also known as Ms. Puiyi, stylized as MSPUIYI, is a Malaysian media personality,[1] social media influencer,[2][3] actress, music producer,[4] DJ and former adult film actress. In 2019, Ms Puiyi experienced a hacking incident that led to the unauthorized leaking of her nude photos. As a result, she chose to create and monetize her own photos through the subscription platform OnlyFans.[5]

Ms Puiyi has over 22 million Instagram followers, 1.4 million TikTok followers, and over 90,000 YouTube subscribers.[6][7][8][9]

Background[edit]

Personal life & family[edit]

Siew Pui Yi was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and grew up alongside two sisters. At the age of 10, her family relocated to Pulau Pinang.[10][11]

Education[edit]

Ms Puiyi attended SMK Datuk Onn for her secondary education and subsequently enrolled in a college in Penang.[12] In a self-produced documentary, she disclosed that she decided to move college in Kuala Lumpur due to feeling creatively stifled and lacking sufficient room for personal growth in Penang.[5]

Ms Puiyi graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Troy University in 2021.[13]

Career[edit]

Ms Puiyi is a DJ, online influencer, and entrepreneur. At a young age, Ms Puiyi began started participated in beauty competitions while also working as a model for magazines. She creates content on multiple social media platforms and has founded two beauty product lines, namely Kiseki Skincare and MSPUIYI Cosmetics.[5] She released a personal photobook titled "Be My Sugar" in 2019, investing her savings of around MYR 10,000 into its production.[14] She started her career as a freelance model.[15] At 19, she signed three contracts with an artist management industry.[16][17] In 2016, she was selected as one of the Top 100 Sexiest Women in Malaysia by a Malaysian magazine.[18]

Ms Puiyi started an OnlyFans account in 2019.[19] In late 2019, Ms Puiyi's laptop was hacked into while being repaired, resulting in unauthorized access to her Google Drive accounts, including personal and unreleased nude photos. Fans alerted her about suspicious emails promoting the sale of these photos. Subsequently, Ms Puiyi had to pay a MYR 18,000 fee to the hackers. In an attempt to meet with them at a Shell petrol station, three helmet-wearing individuals damaged her car mirror, stole the cash, and fled the scene.[5][20]

Following the incident involving the stolen photos, Ms Puiyi shared her story on social media, explaining her temporary absence. Her experience gained attention online, generating headlines and engaging netizens. The hackers again attempted to extort MYR 50,000 from her, but she resolved not to be controlled by others and instead chose to monetize her own pictures.[20] On 3 December 2022, she announced that she would be quitting the platform to become a DJ.[21][18][15][11][22] Following her sudden retirement, Puiyi was contacted by SWAG to sign a contract.[3][18] She drew the attention of media publications like Penthouse POM and Hypebeast. She made history as the first Southeast Asian to be featured on the cover of Penthouse POM magazine in January 2022. She shares content and DJ clips on TikTok.[23]

In November 2022, she secured an acting role in an upcoming local movie KL Love Story as a DJ.[29][15][3] She also starred in the horror film Pulau,[3] which was released in March 2023.[30]

Controversies[edit]

Risque dressing in London[edit]

Outrage among Vietnamese over inappropriate use of traditional costume[edit]

In a photo shared on 4 April 2022, Ms Puiyi sparked a wave of criticism as she was seen wearing the traditional Vietnamese costume, the ao dai, without pants.[35] Local netizens expressed their disapproval on Instagram, deeming her attire as "disrespectful" and "immodest."[36] Two days later, Ms. Puiyi issued an apology on Facebook, conveying her regrets in Vietnamese, English, and Mandarin.[37]

Intimate video with influencer Titus Low[edit]

On 4 October 2022, Ms. Puiyi shared a TikTok video featuring what appeared to be intimate behavior with fellow influencer Titus Low. Both individuals claimed it was a collaboration.[9] Notably, Titus Low was engaged to Malaysian influencer Cheryl Chin at the time.[38] Cheryl expressed her discomfort with the content by commenting on the now-deleted TikTok, stating, "I guess this is content but there are boundaries, no?".[39] This sparked outrage among fans who deemed Titus Low's behavior inappropriate given his relationship status. Titus Low apologised for his actions assuring that such actions would not recur in the future.[40]
