The entertainment industry in China has been shaken into a flurry yet again. This time, it isn’t centered on an artist, but her husband instead!
Chinese artist Yu Sheng (余声) is known for being a TV host at Anhui Television and for winning Miss China in 2009. However, recently, the world’s eyes fixed on her husband Wei Peng (魏鹏). Wei Peng was supposedly arrested after he and two other men took turns assaulting a girl.
Netizens have been abuzz about the news which has also been picked up by Chinese media. Wei Peng reportedly got together with two others, one of whom is voice actor Tang Hu (唐虎). The other is supposedly in the same industry as Wei Peng. Sources claim the trio are good friends.
According to screenshots of a conversation, Wei Peng and the duo others allegedly drugged a girl before sexually assaulting her. Tang Hu had gone first, before the other man, then last was Wei Peng. The girl reportedly did not stop struggling during the assault. However, she was supposedly beaten to unconsciousness.
It was later revealed that the girl is a student from an art college. The three men had apparently planned to blow the issue over by paying her 8 million to 10 million yuan. However, many feel the issue is far too serious to be swept under the rug. Some suspect this isn’t the first time these men have done it. A few have observed that it was too well-planned.
Yu Sheng has not commented on her husband’s supposed actions. However, netizens are wondering how she can face him after hearing the news. She has shown affection to him online before, especially during their wedding in 2019. Well, regardless of the outcome, it seems Yu Sheng’s career may be affected either way.
