Zheng Shuang denies becoming a mistress of a tycoon
3 Mar - Chinese actress Zheng Shuang has once again found herself at the centre of tabloid controversy after rumours emerged claiming she is dating a married tycoon in an attempt to secure a US green card.
According to reports from Epoch Times, Zheng, who was previously banned from the Chinese entertainment industry following multiple scandals including surrogacy, child abandonment, and tax evasion, has been accused of becoming involved with millionaire Ye Yanwei. The allegations surfaced after she was reportedly spotted having dinner with a man who resembled the tycoon.
In response to these claims, Zheng's studio issued a firm statement denying the rumours: "All the rumours are unfounded. We would like to remind those who wantonly spread rumours that the more comfortable you are with your evil deeds, the quicker the retribution will come."
The actress herself took additional steps to address the situation by recording a video in which she emotionally denied the accusations. "I am innocent. I am self-reliant. I will not be a mistress for others. This is my principle in life," Zheng stated in the video.
She reportedly became emotional during the recording, questioning who she had offended to deserve such malicious rumours and calling for an end to what she described as a smear campaign against her.
This is not the first time Zheng has faced public scrutiny. In 2021, her former boyfriend Zhang Heng accused her of abandoning their two children conceived through surrogacy in the United States - a practice that is illegal in China.
During the same period, Zhang also revealed that Zheng had committed tax evasion. These scandals resulted in her immediate ostracism from the Chinese entertainment industry, forcing her to relocate to the US to make a living and pay off her accumulated debts.
