36-year-old Cai Wenjing has starred in Chinese dramas such as “So Young,” “Under the Sun,” and “Steel Forest.” She also participated in “Sisters Who Make Waves 5,” finishing in 8th place. On the night of the 9th, she suddenly appeared bare-faced in a livestream after drinking, completely letting loose as she cried her heart out. She confessed and apologized for having mistaken fans for someone else when meeting them, and questioned what she had done to deserve everyone’s love. In her drunken state, she spoke candidly and emotionally, occasionally singing to please fans. Worried that she was upset or wronged, her fans wondered why she lost control of her emotions. Cai reassured everyone that nothing had happened and told them not to worry, explaining that her body’s constitution simply made her “cry when drunk.” Her unexpected tears attracted 1.91 million viewers to watch the livestream.
Cai Wenjing’s celebrity friends and mother, upon learning that she was livestreaming after drinking, rushed to watch her stream. Actor Ye Zuxin, worried she would regret embarrassing herself, called her by her character’s name from their joint series “Eliminate Evil”: “Xiaoya, wake up.” Noticing her mother’s account had also appeared in the livestream, Cai made sure to explain, “Mom, I don’t usually drink alcohol when I’m out.”
Her team closely monitored the entire livestream process, with Cai’s agent repeatedly calling her to urge her to end the stream. Cai expressed that she was very touched, saying, “It seems like they care more about my public image than I do myself. As for how the outside world sees me, it no longer matters to me. You all shouldn’t overthink, I am not unhappy or upset about anything, so please don’t speculate.” She said this is her true self, “If you are my fan, and if you like me, please accept this version of me.”
In the end, her staff forcibly cut off the livestream. Afterwards, her studio clarified on her behalf, stating, “She’s not unhappy, just has a low alcohol tolerance! Thank you all for your concern, Jie Jie’s ‘battery’ is already drained! But we must also seriously remind everyone to drink in moderation. Jie Jie’s original intent was to spread positive energy. If there is any malicious misinterpretation, we reserve the right to protect our artist's legitimate rights and interests.”
