Yang Zi's lawyer to take legal action against Weibo user who defames her again
15 Nov - Yang Zi's team is honing in on a netizen for making personal attacks against the actress, despite already having been taken to court for defamation previously.
On 13 November, the actress' legal representative took to social media, revealing that a Weibo user, who has been ruled to be guilty of the said offence and was ordered to pay damages and apologise to Yang Zi, has shared new defamatory remarks on their recent post.
"After the first-instance judgment was made, we noticed that the infringer has once again released false information suspected of insult and defamation today. We have completed evidence collection and will take legal action for the new infringement," the lawyer stated.
At the same time, the lawyer said that they will continue to pay attention to "network dynamics", stressing that the Internet is not a lawless place.
"While enjoying the convenience of the Internet, users should respect the legal rights and interests of others and refrain from making inappropriate remarks. Otherwise, they will bear corresponding legal actions."
It is noted that the Weibo user has publicly apologised for defaming Yang Zi, but still claimed that the actress slept with her ex-boyfriend Feng Chuxuan in order to get more magazine cover opportunities. Netizens also claimed that the said user has made various allegations against other actresses as well.
