Gong Meifu, a senior vice president at Taiwan's SET Television, has confirmed on the evening of the 7th that he has voluntarily resigned to take responsibility after his son, Gong Yiting, was accused by actress Jiang Zuping of drugging, sexually assaulting, and secretly filming her in a scandal. In his statement, he said, “As a father, I cannot shirk my responsibility. I must bravely face everything caused by my son.” However, the entire statement did not mention Jiang Zuping by name, immediately arousing public criticism online.
Gong Meifu emphasized that he felt deeply guilty for the trust and cultivation SET TV had shown him in the past; now, as the incident involving his son has affected the company, he has resigned to take responsibility and apologized to society. He stated that everything will be left for the judiciary to clarify the truth. While his statement emphasized taking responsibility, it completely avoided discussing the victim, Jiang Zuping, which sparked further public dissatisfaction.
It is also noteworthy that the main figure in the controversy, Gong Yiting, has not yet publicly apologized to Jiang Zuping. He only admitted the two were in a relationship, denying the accusations as one-sided claims and false allegations. This attitude sharply contrasts with his father's statement and has further intensified public doubt.
