Chinese singer Xue Zhiqian was exposed in 2017 by internet celebrity Li Yutong for allegedly cheating her out of money and sex, and forcing her to have an abortion, which caused a huge stir and severely damaged his image. Unexpectedly, Li Yutong, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly called out Xue Zhiqian by name on Weibo, demanding the return of her property and threatening to "reveal all the truth," furiously declaring: "A gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years!" The nearly decade-long feud was instantly pushed back into the spotlight.
On the 2nd, Li Yutong posted several updates on Weibo, demanding that Xue Zhiqian return a luxury watch and the blue suit from the "Actor" MV, harshly criticizing him for "self-movedly singing sad songs," and bluntly saying that his songs make her "feel sick." She also accused him of causing her to suffer from depression for 12 years, stating she would gradually reveal the whole truth.
She then dug up old events, accusing Xue Zhiqian of "stealing a Nokia contract phone" while studying in Switzerland, and said that due to financial hardship he slept in phone booths and worked as a waiter. Li Yutong also claimed she was threatened by Xue Zhiqian, and mentioned being set up by Xue Zhiqian and his wife Gao Leixin, further revealing that after Xue Zhiqian got together with Gao Leixin, he still came to provoke her. She also said Gao Leixin had evidence of Xue Zhiqian’s infidelity and even made it into a "PPT."
However, when netizens commented asking her to directly show the evidence, Li Yutong responded by posting six selfies but did not provide any substantive materials. Facing doubts, she replied strongly: “Why would I show the evidence to you? You’re not worthy.” She then posted again claiming she had no evidence left, “I was just joking... that’s it!” This led to many netizens questioning the contradiction in Li Yutong's words and actions, with some commenting, “Is she crazy?”
Xie Na seeks justice for Zhang Jie.
In addition, Li Yutong also claimed that Xue Zhiqian privately belittled Zhang Jie, saying his singing was "tacky," and mentioned Xue Zhiqian once angrily smashed Jacky Cheung’s guitar because she praised Hu Yanbin’s singing skills. This revelation quickly sparked heated discussion, causing old controversies to resurface.
On the morning of the 3rd, Zhang Jie’s wife Xie Na publicly posted on Weibo, calling on Xue Zhiqian to formally apologize to Zhang Jie over controversial remarks made years ago on the show “Roast.” Xie Na pointed out that in 2017, Xue Zhiqian insinuated on “Roast” with the "Four Nos" statement (1. Did not terminate the contract early, 2. Did not steal or rob, 3. Did not find a rich girlfriend to release an album, 4. Did not find a more famous girlfriend for support), alluding that Zhang Jie rose to fame relying on Xie Na’s resources or left his contract early. Although he did not name names, public opinion pointed directly at Zhang Jie.
Xie Na wrote: “Back then, Jie-ge rejoined the competition and started all over again because he had already lost his stage for singing. From signing up for the audition, he fought his way through with his own effort, and because of his popularity in the show, the company finally let him release albums and hold concerts! Until now, everyone has seen singer Zhang Jie's strength! It’s all due to his own perseverance, love, and talent, fighting step by step! He has been misunderstood and attacked for many years, enduring countless false accusations. For his passion, for our relationship.”
She called out Xue Zhiqian: “Now, you haven’t even settled your own emotional disputes, and old stories are being stirred up again, pulling innocent people into your drama. Why?! Jie-ge has only ever loved singing, keeps a low profile, never gets involved in disputes, but keeps being dragged in and consumed! Xue Zhiqian, you said those things back then. You can claim you didn’t mean him, but it was your words that led public opinion, and the harm is done. Now old matters are raised again, and the root cause is still your remarks back then. You hide behind your jokes, enjoy the benefits, and hurt the innocent! And all these years, you haven’t even apologized! I only ask one thing: Please face your own words and actions, and formally apologize to Zhang Jie, who was needlessly dragged in by you. Your emotional mess is your own business—please face it! Handle it yourself! Don’t let innocent people pay for your past!!” As of the time of writing, Xue Zhiqian has not yet responded.
It is reported that both Zhang Jie and Xue Zhiqian were contestants on the 2004 talent show “My Show,” with Zhang Jie winning the championship and Xue Zhiqian finishing fourth. The two of them signed a seven-year contract with “Starlight Entertainment” as colleagues. After a change in company leadership, both artists were shelved due to lack of resources.#
