On January 26, Wuyou Media issued a statement regarding the incident, stating that a special task force had been established to handle the matter. The statement revealed that the conflict between Huang Maoma and Zhang Dada arose from a disagreement over script modifications during a business trip to Beijing on October 27, 2024. Although the company was unable to obtain conclusive evidence of physical assault, they took the allegations seriously and provided emotional support to Huang Maoma.
Wuyou Media's decision to suspend business cooperation with Zhang Dada demonstrates the company's commitment to safeguarding its employees' rights and promoting a healthy work environment. The incident has sparked widespread attention, with many netizens calling for a thorough investigation and severe punishment for those found guilty of bullying.
In response to Wuyou Media's statement, Huang Maoma expressed his gratitude towards the company for their support and decision to suspend cooperation with Zhang Dada. However, Huang Maoma also criticized the company for their handling of the situation, stating that they had initially tried to cover up the incident and had only taken action after being exposed.
Huang Maoma also took to social media to express his appreciation for the company's efforts to comfort and mediate the situation, but also criticized them for not obtaining credible evidence and for their handling of the situation. She specifically thanked them for their silence, which implies that she is unhappy with the company's response to the incident. In her statement, Huang Maoma acknowledges the company's announcement to suspend all business with Zhang Dada, but expresses her disappointment and frustration with the way the situation has been handled.
According to reports, Huang Maomao had previously accused Zhang Dada of subjecting her to two hours of "cruel torment" in a hotel, using a pillow, coffee table, and glass to assault her. The incident allegedly occurred on October 27, 2024, due to a dispute over a script. Huang Maomao also claimed that she was threatened by Zhang Dada's company, Wu You Media, with termination and no compensation if she chose to leave. When she attempted to depart, she was reportedly blocked.
The incident sparked widespread outrage on social media, with many netizens demanding that Zhang Dada respond to the allegations. In response, Wu You Media issued a statement on January 26, announcing that they had suspended all business cooperation with Zhang Dada pending an investigation into the matter. The company emphasized its commitment to protecting the rights of its employees and ensuring a fair and just resolution to the incident.
Huang Maomao subsequently released a video and audio recording, accusing Zhang Dada of orchestrating a door-smashing incident and intimidating her. She also alleged that Wu You Media had invited her to discuss a resolution, only to threaten her with termination and no compensation if she refused to voluntarily terminate her contract.
As of the latest update, Zhang Dada has yet to respond to the allegations, despite his social media accounts showing that he is active online. Netizens continue to call for him to address the situation and provide a clear explanation for his actions. Meanwhile, Wuyou Media has issued a statement vowing to thoroughly investigate the matter, conduct a deep reflection, and learn from the experience, emphasizing the importance of protecting the rights and interests of its employees and artists.
The company's statement came after Huang Maomao shared her account of the incident, which allegedly occurred on October 27, 2024, due to a disagreement over a script. According to Huang, she was subjected to verbal abuse and intimidation by Zhang, with some reports suggesting that the altercation may have escalated into physical violence.
While Zhang has remained silent on the matter, Huang has taken to social media to express her gratitude to Wuyou Media for their support and to criticize the company for initially failing to obtain concrete evidence of the incident. She also shared a video and audio recording, which appears to show Zhang's alleged involvement in intimidating and coercing her into apologizing and terminating her labor contract.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage and discussion on social media, with many calling for Zhang to be held accountable for his actions and for Wuyou Media to take concrete steps to address the issue. As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold and what consequences Zhang may face if the allegations are proven true.
