37-year-old Jing Tian has recently been embroiled in a surrogacy scandal.
On 22 May, a document suspected to be an agreement from an overseas surrogacy agency was leaked on Weibo. The document contained the words “Tian Jing” and what appeared to be a signature, sparking heated discussions.
An entertainment blogger claimed that an actress with the surname J demanded a huge sum of money from her boyfriend under the guise of surrogacy. The agreement stated that the first payment was USD 100,000 – which the man had already paid. He then allegedly gave the woman an additional RMB 30 million. However, the woman breached the contract midway through the process, refusing to have the child and blocking him to avoid returning the money.
In response, Jing Tian’s studio quickly issued a formal statement, emphasising that the relevant content was all fabricated and that they had officially commissioned lawyers to collect evidence and file a lawsuit.
The statement read, “Recently, false rumours and malicious fabrications targeting Ms. Jing Tian have appeared online, seriously damaging her personal reputation. The studio solemnly declares as follows: We will not tolerate any false content published by the relevant accounts. We solemnly warn those who fabricate and spread rumours to immediately cease their infringing activities, delete the fabricated content, and eliminate the negative impact.”
“We have already commissioned lawyers to complete comprehensive evidence collection and will resolutely pursue legal action to the end. The internet is not a lawless zone. The studio urges everyone: do not create or spread rumours, and jointly maintain a clean and healthy online environment.”
