Chapter 1419: Chapter 1420: It’s Not That Bad Without Explanation!
Without the help of his top agent, Gu Zekai had no way to deal with the mockery on the internet. It would have been better if he kept silent, but half an hour after the incident blew up, he suddenly responded to a comment on Weibo.
[I was framed. The recording is fake, I never said those words. I’ll explain this once; those who believe me, believe me; those who don’t, forget it. Please stop attacking my fans, thank you!]
Once he responded, the online spectators went wild!
[This D-list celebrity must be delusional; the voice in the recording is clearly his, and he still has the nerve to claim that it’s all a setup. Big shot, did you leave your face at home today?]
[First time I’ve heard a recording could be fake. Okay, suppose the recording is fake, but what about the video of you taking a girl to the hotel that surfaced online? That girl seems to be your fan. Is this what they call… screwing your fans?]
[Oh my god, still trying to deny it at this point? Do the idiotic fans really believe their oppa is clean and flawless?]
[No more talk, let’s go! @Lemon Entertainment Official Account.]
[I believe in Gu Zekai, I’ve been following him for two years, he’s not that kind of person. He says he was framed, I believe he was framed. Waiting for the truth to come out.]
[Haha, found a naive fan right above. Oh, still waiting for the truth to surface? Keep waiting till the cows come home and Sun Wukong jumps out of a stone, your oppa won’t be innocent!]
A barrage of criticism on the internet, and there were tech-savvy folks who did a technical analysis of the audio from Nick Studio that proved the recording was absolutely real, with no possibility of fabrication.
Meanwhile, after being mentioned many times, Lemon Entertainment belatedly released a statement an hour after Gu Zekai spoke out.
The statement was clear, stating that the circulating intimate photos of Gu Zekai and the President of Lemon Entertainment were fake, maliciously Photoshopped by someone to spread rumors and cause trouble. They were already prepared to take legal action against the media that released the photos, demanding an immediate retraction.
In the statement, other than when explaining the photos were fake, Gu Zekai’s name was not mentioned again as if in this whole affair, Gu Zekai was a negligible nobody.
With the statement released, Gu Zekai’s reputation was completely trampled into the mud, his face utterly smashed.
Within the circle, everyone secretly scoffed at the embarrassing fiasco of Gu Zekai’s failed “Fairy Jump” that ended in a slap to his face.
Online, beyond the spectators continuing to dig up Gu Zekai’s past scandals for mockery, rumors began to circulate about Gu Zekai privately contacting pretty female fans, deceiving their feelings… As the incident continued to ferment, Gu Zekai’s management company reacted swiftly, stating they would investigate the matter and provide an explanation afterwards.
Not long after this statement, his agency and agent released another announcement declaring that Gu Zekai’s values were questionable and his character was worrisome. After discussions between the company and agents, the decision to terminate Gu Zekai’s contract was made.
A newcomer who had only starred in one web series and had no follow-up works was dismissed by his management company, and he was now burdened with a slew of scandals. His future career was completely ruined, and he had no choice but to leave the industry.
Moreover, as more and more women anonymously voiced online that they had been deceived by him, and with chat logs being exposed, fans who had sought his affection were now destroying their idols, realizing his true character, and began to massively unfollow and trample him…
