After a long silence, Huang Zijiao finally issued an apology to a victim who accused him of harassment. He said that because of his rude behavior more than ten years ago, he caused psychological harm and distress to Ms. Zofia, and he felt deeply about it. I am deeply sorry, specifically named and publicly apologized, and hope that the outside world will stop harassing and attacking the victims in the future.
In addition, Huang Zijiao also noted at the end of the article that the apology and the publication time of the article were decided by both him and the victim through their attorneys, and then released after confirmation by the lawyers of both parties. It can be seen that Huang Zijiao's public and formal apology was carefully considered and prepared.
After Huang Zijiao issued an apology, the public's attitude was also very different. Many of Huang Zijiao's colleagues in the circle left messages of encouragement, feeling relieved that Huang Zijiao finally faced the victim directly, and cheering for Huang Zijiao. However, many netizens believed that Huang Zijiao's apology was too late and not sincere at all. Perhaps he was preparing for a comeback, and they also hoped that Huang Zijiao would simply quit the entertainment industry.
In June last year, Huang Zijiao was exposed by the Internet celebrity Zofia that he had sexually harassed her. The woman published a long essay, revealing that when she was young, she credulously believed in Huang Zijiao, a senior who was quite prestigious in the industry at the time. As a result, she was forcibly kissed by him and even raped by him. Forced to take fruit photos. The woman revealed the unknown side of Huang Zijiao, but received a lot of attacks for it.
Huang Zijiao was involved in public controversy. He responded by releasing three self-portrait videos, but did not apologize to the victims directly. He only lamented that he had done some wrong things, but now everything was exposed to the world, which made him feel ashamed, and he successively dragged others A colleague from the entertainment industry fell into the trap, and then tried to stop thinking about it, but was sent to the hospital by his wife Meng Gengru.
Choking with sobs, Meng Gengru stood up to take charge of the overall situation for Huang Zijiao and expressed her apologies for those who were hurt in this turmoil. After Huang Zijiao was discharged from the hospital, he went to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office for reexamination. He firmly denied the sexual assault accusation and admitted that he had had a relationship with the other party. However, he did so to take private artistic photos and had the woman's consent.
Huang Zijiao tried to commit suicide but failed. He also chose to act out because of the scandal, which offended many people in the industry. About seven months have passed since he was exposed. Huang Zijiao has stopped all work and his comeback is far away. Instead, his wife Meng Gengru is responsible for the family's living expenses and works hard to make money to support the family.
Huang Zijiao became a good gentleman and took his wife and daughter out for a walk to spend rare time together. This incident made him look haggard and gained a lot of weight. However, Meng Gengru never left Huang Zijiao and was still there in early January. Posting a family photo in a high profile, feeling that the good and the bad will pass.
In addition, when faced with the misinformation that Huang Zijiao committed suicide, Meng Gengru immediately stood up to help her husband clarify the rumors and reprimanded the media who randomly released the news of Huang Zijiao's death for spreading rumors, even though she and Huang Zijiao were many years apart, and Huang Zijiao was accused of sexual harassment. The incident was notorious, but Meng Gengru still chose to forgive.
If the woman had not come forward and told the truth, Huang Zijiao might not have realized his mistake, and to this day he still downplays his harassment behavior as "discourteous". I can only say that the apology came too late. I hope Huang Zijiao has sincerely reflected on it, and I also hope that the artists in your industry can clean themselves up.
