Chinese actress Angelababy and actor Chen He have recently released a joint-statement to deny rumours that the two of them are more than just variety show partners.
As reported on Mingpao, the issue regarding Angelababy and Chen’s closeness sparked recently when a Netizen asked about such a rumour on a Q&A segment posted online.
The question was then answered by the infamous Chinese paparazzo, Zhuo Wei, who claimed that there was a star with the surname that started with C who joined a Huayi reality show through the recommendation of the show’s female cast.
Zhuo stated that while the two of them are really close with each other, they pretended that they didn’t know each other too well during the show.
While he didn’t disclose the names, many speculated that Zhuo was talking about Angelababy and Chen He.
The two stars immediately released a statement, denying the allegations and stated that there is no factual basis to the issue.
They stated that the spread of such rumours without confirmation is considered malicious, and that it has affected their image. Both stars added that legal action will be taken accordingly.
The statement also pointed out that the release of such a false information is a violation of Angelababy and Chen He’s reputation, and demanded that the content be deleted.
