53-year-old Taiwanese star Huang Zijiao registered his marriage in 2020 with Meng Gengru, who is 19 years younger than him. Due to his involvement in sexual harassment and creative private photo controversies, the two were rumored to have divorced in May this year. On the 21st, Huang Zijiao appeared in court and personally admitted to the marital change and needing to pay alimony, expressing hope for a lenient sentence from the judge. In response, when the media contacted Meng Gengru’s agency for confirmation, the agency stated that as the contract has expired, they can no longer respond on her behalf.
On the 21st, Huang Zijiao appeared in court for the second trial and made an oral statement regarding the case of possessing images of minors. Upon arrival, he bowed to the media and stated in court that his transgression was due to “not understanding the law.” He also admitted that his family has broken up, adding, “I understand the victim’s pain.” However, the victim’s lawyer rebutted, saying, “Our clients are so young, their lives have yet to begin, but have already been destroyed by people like you.”
According to ETtoday Star News, when asked whether Meng Gengru’s agency can confirm the divorce, the agency replied: “Our contract with Gengru has already expired recently, so we are unable to respond to related matters on her behalf.” They did not directly address the current marital status. Meanwhile, Meng Gengru’s social media accounts were completely closed in March this year after being heavily criticized at the beginning of the year for speaking up for Huang Zijiao.
