Cai Xukun's Team Accused of Spreading Falsehoods by Ms. W

The dispute between Ms. W and Cai Xukun's studio has its roots in events from 2023, when Mr. Cai was implicated in several scandals, including allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a fan named Ms. C and another fan, Ms. W, which were later found to be fabricated. Ms. W had admitted to spreading false information to divert attention from Mr. Cai's controversies, for which she and two paparazzi were later found guilty of libel and ordered to apologize and pay compensation by the Shanghai Songjiang District Court in February 2025.

Despite the court's ruling, Ms. W claims that she has been subjected to relentless online harassment, with Mr. Cai's fans and others branding her as a "deadbeat" and spreading false information about her. She asserts that the actions of Mr. Cai's studio, particularly their statement on April 26, 2025, were designed to exacerbate this situation, despite previous agreements to issue a clarifying statement acknowledging her fulfillment of the court's judgment.

Ms. W emphasizes that her actions have been in accordance with the law and the court's decisions. She points out that as early as April 7, 2025, the law firm had announced the application for compulsory execution, but by April 26, 2025, when the studio released a statement on Weibo claiming to have applied for compulsory execution, it should have been aware that the court had not accepted the case. This, Ms. W argues, demonstrates a clear intent to mislead public opinion and tarnish her reputation.

Netizens' reactions to the statement have been varied. While some have expressed support for Ms. W, commending her for standing up for her rights, others have been more skeptical, suggesting that she is overreacting or seeking attention. Furthermore, a segment of the online community has pointed out that Cai Xukun's studio and his legal representatives at Shanghai Tian Shang Law Firm may have crossed a legal boundary by potentially engaging in defamation. These netizens argue that such actions should be met with legal consequences, emphasizing the importance of accountability.

Ms. W has announced her intention to take legal action against those responsible for the spread of false information and the resultant harm to her reputation. She demands that Mr. Cai's studio and the law firm involved cease their malicious activities, issue a public apology, and compensate her for the damages suffered. Furthermore, she calls upon the public, especially Mr. Cai's fans, to stop spreading false information and to cease their online harassment. The situation highlights the complexities of celebrity scandals, online harassment, and the legal battles that can ensue, and it remains to be seen how the parties involved will navigate the legal and public relations challenges ahead.
