Pop diva Jolin Tsai was recently implicated by a netizen for allegedly acting like a diva, but it was later revealed that the netizen had simply wanted to change seats. He clarified that he did not feel disturbed or treated differently, but the way he posted triggered accusations from fans that he was intentionally leading public opinion and tarnishing reputations. Some straightforwardly said, “I suggest Jolin Tsai and EVA Air both sue,” leading the original poster (OP) to switch his account to private.
A male netizen posted on Threads, writing briefly: “The flight attendant told me that a VIP would be arriving soon in seat 1A, and that the VIP doesn’t like to be disturbed. Luckily, I’m not a fan.” Due to the OP’s narrative style, it was easy to misinterpret the VIP as acting like a diva and asking the flight attendant to tell others not to disturb them, sparking heated discussion.
Later, the OP replied in the comments that the VIP was Jolin Tsai and that both she and the flight attendant were very nice; he also wasn’t offended, saying it was just a special experience. However, since he hadn’t clearly explained the background, Jolin Tsai was once heavily criticized by netizens. The OP later explained, “After the front cabin door closed, I asked the flight attendant if I could move to the empty 1A seat. The flight attendant politely said that a VIP would be coming soon. I curiously asked who, and the attendant replied, ‘Jolin Tsai, but she is very low-key and doesn't like being disturbed.’ I replied, ‘No problem, I’m not a fan.’”
The OP stated that he merely intended to record a rare experience and did not feel discriminated against, emphasizing that both Jolin Tsai and the flight attendant were very nice. However, his narrative style easily caused misunderstandings, prompting fans to express outrage on behalf of Jolin: “How malicious does this have to be? I really suggest Jolin Tsai and EVA Air both sue. Because of this kind of inexplicable post, the flight attendant has offended two passengers at once.”
Many who saw this agreed, commenting, “Jolin Tsai is so innocent, being slandered for no reason,” “Jolin Tsai and the flight attendant are both really unlucky, being scolded for no reason because of his misleading post, but it turns out he was just being petty.” However, some believed, “The OP didn’t say who it was at first, so I don’t think it was malicious. Things only blew up after netizens identified who it was.” Currently, the OP has made his Threads account private.
