Multiple allegations have been made against Taiwanese artist NONO (Chen Xuan Yu), accusing him of sexual harassment and assault. As per the reports by several Twitter users, the accusations initially made public by the internet personality "Net Red Teacher" claim that the number of victims has risen to almost 20, with three victims accusing NONO of sexual assault.

The shocking allegations include a claim made by Net Red Teacher that NONO has been involved in almost 20 cases of sexual harassment. She detailed that NONO had taken advantage of women by leading them into disabled bathrooms, a public area to sexually harass them. Outrageously, NONO continued his offensive behavior even after his marriage and having a child.

Further, another user @二月如栢 tweeted about an incident where a victim showed a picture of being touched on the leg by NONO in a car, and even exposed chat records of NONO flirting with women two years after his marriage.

One of the victims reportedly revealed that NONO invited her to a dark park and violated her privacy. Allegations suggest that these actions by NONO are not isolated incidents, but rather a pattern of predatory behavior that has lasted for over two decades.

The Weibo sphere has been filled with public outrage, with users such as @吴高龙 condemning NONO's actions as immoral, against societal norms, and a violation of victims' personal rights. Others have highlighted the need for self-protection and the importance of standing against sexual harassment in all its forms.

Users like @津武郑韩 have compared this incident with similar cases involving other celebrities like 黄子佼, 炎亚纶, 瘦子, casting a spotlight on the pervasive issue of sexual harassment in the Taiwanese entertainment industry. The incident has also been linked to the global #MeToo movement, symbolizing a broad societal challenge.

However, amidst the serious allegations, some users like @娱记小舟 seemingly distanced themselves from the incident, stating their unawareness of NONO's identity, reflecting a potential lack of knowledge or unwillingness to engage with the issue.

The controversy has escalated to a level where even the netizens are eagerly following the developments. @首都一橘 mentioned the timeline provided by Taiwanese media showing the alleged incidents. Despite the backlash and severe allegations, NONO has yet to issue a public apology to any of the victims. This has further exacerbated the public's discontent, with @賣勾靠杯 emphasizing the victims' wait for a formal apology.

The allegations against NONO have caused a significant ripple effect, highlighting a critical issue of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry. As this scandal unfolds, it presents an opportunity for broader discussions on consent, respect, and the necessity for stringent actions against such predatory behaviors.
