Chinese idol Cai Xukun, the face of Prada, Tag Hauer and De Beers in China, has responded to allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior with a female minor, which have led Chinese authorities to issue a warning regarding the ads in which he appears.
“I want to clarify to everyone and the media that my relationship with Ms. C was consensual. There is no such thing as a ‘[having] minor [sex]’ or ‘forced abortion.’ No illegal activity was involved. Please do not spread rumors, do not believe in rumors from social media,” the statement continued.
Last Tuesday, a Chinese social media user alleged that the 24-year-old Cai had a one-night stand with a woman named “Ms. C” two years ago at a Beijing karaoke bar. The social media user claimed the woman got pregnant and notified Cai, who allegedly told the woman to get an abortion. On Saturday, Beijing’s Advertising Association issued a statement about potential celebrity endorsement risks concerning a Chinese singer whose last name is Cai. On Sunday, Chinese state media CCTV removed all Cai-related content from its video streaming platform Yangshipin.
