November was really a month of ups and downs for Yang Zi.
At the beginning of the month, she just passed her 32nd birthday, and the studio posted an article lamenting that her fame was one step at a time, and it took her to break through the cocoon and become a butterfly.
Unexpectedly, only one week later, someone rushed to jump out and "stigmatize" her efforts.
01
On November 13, a netizen with the ID name "mnw_mnw" posted a small essay on social platforms,
As soon as she opened her mouth, under the guise of apologizing, she actually "broke the news" that actress Yang Zi had an affair with her ex-boyfriend Feng Chuxuan.
According to her, Yang Zi has some entertainment resources because she sleeps with Feng Chuxuan.
And the reason why she suspected that the relationship between the two was improper was simply because Yang Zifang took the initiative to propose a second cooperation to the man.
And the two Yang Zi staff members left first during the dinner, leaving only Yang Zi and Feng Chuxuan to eat alone.
Therefore, after learning about these clips, the netizen deduced that Yang Zi and Feng Chuxuan would have deviant behaviors after dinner.
It is said that there is a picture and the truth, in the current rapid development of P map technology, sometimes seeing is not necessarily believing,
What's more, this netizen spread rumors without showing any actual evidence, which is expected to be fake at a glance.
As expected, Yang Zi soon released a verdict here, restoring the truth of the matter.
It turned out that the netizen had maliciously slandered Yang Zi before this, and Yang Zi had to sue the netizen for violating the right to reputation.
After Yang Zi won the lawsuit, the court ruled that the netizen needed to bear the legal responsibility of compensating Yang Zi for her losses + apologizing.
Who would have thought that she would send that small essay as an apology letter in a weird way, and poured dirty water on Yang Zi again.
What's even more terrifying is that Yang Zi is not the only victim in this "sleeping incident",
Top actresses Di Lieba, Song Jia, Zhao Lusi, etc. were falsely rumored by the netizen to have had a leg with Feng Chuxuan, implying that they also relied on their relationships to obtain film and television or fashion resources.
Due to the large number of popular actresses affected, public opinion has also fermented rapidly, causing a lot of social impact.
The netizen just "broke the news" of Di Lieba's news, and the number of likes was close to 9,000, and the speed of transmission was staggering.
If it weren't for the fact that the netizen kicked Yang Zi this time, I'm afraid that the inappropriate remarks would implicate more actresses.
And this just exposes that one of the oldest and most effective ways of "hunting" women is rampant,
It can directly make a woman "socially die", even if it is a glamorous female star.

What is the easiest and deadliest way to "destroy" a woman? Zhang Jingchu has already given the answer.
At the beginning of last year, 43-year-old Zhang Jingchu appeared on the stage of a speech held by People magazine.
She has been out of public view for a long time, and she has lost her youthful childishness, and the halo of a popular actress is no longer hanging above her head.
And the reason why she mustered up the courage to stand in front of the stage was to tell her true experience of being made of pornographic rumors in the past ten years.
In 2005, 25-year-old Zhang Jingchu became popular for starring in director Gu Changwei's movie "Peacock".
But what came first than flowers and applause was the yellow rumor that "wrapped" her like a blizzard:
"She is a newcomer, why can she act in Gu Changwei's movie, there must be an inside story behind it!"
The media with more good things added fuel and vinegar to expose the news that Jiang Wenli rushed to the crew to "slap" Zhang Jingchu in public,
This kind of news without picture support is treated as "fact" because it caters to the public's curiosity.
At first, the people around Zhang Jingchu advised her not to fight against the rumors, and they told her in the tone of someone who came over,
Every actress who has just debuted will experience such and such rumors, asking her to act well and speak with her works.
But with Zhang Jingchu launching a new work every time, these rumors are like vicious dogs crazy "hunting" her.
The more she didn't explain, the more the rumors frantically bit at her until her reputation was ruined.
Since 2008, Zhang Jingchu has become more and more reluctant to socialize, and she has become less fond of going out.
Because she was worried that even just having a meal with ordinary friends would be arranged for resources.
She became like a frightened bird, ready for all the news about herself.
She was like a mute who couldn't make a sound, and she could only open her teeth and claws into the air, letting the invective erode her little by little, little by little.
She felt her life shrinking and shrinking, like a plant that had left water and only dried up.
In order to save herself, she decided to study abroad during the popularity of her career to avoid the haze of public opinion.
But the dark clouds are chasing after her, and even her experience of fading out of the entertainment industry to study has once again been processed into a rumor that she was "collectively blocked by the directors' wives", which has harassed her for more than ten years.
It wasn't until the summer of 2021 that Zhang Jingchu finally fought back head-on against the yellow rumors.
It's a pity that she won a paper victory, but it is difficult to get back the reputation of half her life that she lost.
As she asked hoarsely in her speech:
"Yellow rumors are very clever and take advantage of women's shame, how can I stand up and argue against it?"
And the more this stigma is explained, the more it will fall into the trap of self-incrimination, and the more closely it will be connected to the victims.
It's a pity that the tragic experiences of Yang Zi and Zhang Jingchu are not few.
In addition to their courage to take up legal weapons to fight rumors, there are also some actresses who can only bear the shackles helplessly.
Liu Yifei has been accompanied by various rumors such as "transgender" and "father with money" since she became famous.
For this reason, she not only refuted the rumors in interviews many times, but also stated that some false news on the Internet could not be trusted.
even retired from the circle for 2 years, just to be clean, but still couldn't escape the encroachment of rumors;
Hanikezi frequently went in and out of the hospital when her grandmother died, but she was also arrested and made yellow rumors.
She had to come forward under pressure to refute the rumors, but the good deeds took one by one:
"I don't believe it, unless you send out your grandmother's photo to prove it!"
Mired in rumors, she was powerless to entangle anymore, so she could only swallow this mouthful of breath silently;
The popular Zhang Liangying wore a dark green dress on the red carpet of the fashion ceremony.
Dressed exquisitely, she never expected that in the next second and for decades to come, she would experience the malicious eyes she would suffer because of this dress.
Because of the reflection on her skirt, the media directly created pornographic rumors, but she couldn't be honest with each other in order to prove her innocence......
This is reminiscent of a movie - "Keep You Safe" directed and acted by Dapeng,
Han Lu, a terminally ill woman played by Song Qian in the film, donated a sum of money to the welfare institute before she died.
But after her death, she was rumored to be a woman sitting on the stage, because the influence of yellow rumors was huge.
Relatives of the neighbors of the cemetery were so angry that they wanted to "dig up the grave" and demanded that her grave be moved elsewhere.
In order to clarify something that didn't exist in the first place, Wei Ping'an, the cemetery sales played by Dapeng, broke his leg,
It took him a lot of effort to catch the originator of the rumor, but the rumor was just a vagrant.
And the reason why he sowed such malice to a stranger was just to increase the points of the message so that he could unlock the plot of the next chapter of the novel.
is the so-called "spreading rumors with one mouth, refuting rumors and breaking legs",
A few taps on the keyboard of the rumor-talker are like a sword unsheathed, but it is a fatal blow to the victim;
The rumorer moved his mouth twice, like a sugar-coated cannonball, leaving the victim with an invisible smoke of cyberfire.
But the absurdity is absurd, the more curious the rumors, the more they cater to the expectations of the public.
The more people care, the more the truth behind the rumors is, what the facts are.

There is a dragon spring on the tongue, and there is no blood in the killing.
It is not only women who are "ruined" by yellow rumors, but also men who are inexplicably dragged into the abyss of rumors and disturbed by the malice that is all over the sky.
On July 26, 2018, a girl named "Xianzi" posted a long post in the circle of friends accusing the host Zhu Jun of sexually harassing her 4 years ago.
After the "wheat roast" fermented on the Internet, it immediately triggered a wave of public opinion on the whole network.
Under the empty rumors without evidence, based on the girl's side of the story,
Zhu Jun became a street rat, and the reputation accumulated after 25 years of serious work was emptied overnight.
In order to avoid the limelight, Zhu Jun had to suspend his work and devote all his energy to defending his rights.
The lawsuit has been fought for 4 years, until the second instance opens, and Xianzi still has not been able to come up with actual evidence.
Zhu Juncai finally cleared the clouds and saw the moon, won the lawsuit, and regained his innocence.
But unfortunately, time has passed, and even if Zhu Jun proves his innocence, he still can't recover his losses.
He returned to work at CCTV after the second trial, but he said goodbye to his beloved stage forever.
Due to the influence of public opinion, he could only turn to the background and do some simple work of training new people.
But as a rumor-monger, Xianzi is proud, and she has attracted countless fans by frequently speaking out for public events on the Internet.
jumped from an amateur to a leader of the feminist movement, gaining fame and fortune.
It wasn't until netizens revealed that her political stance with her friend "Mai Yao" was incorrect, and finally tore off her disguise.
The same experience with Zhu Jun also happened to male singer Wang Leehom.
In February 2021, Wang Leehom sued Li Lianglei for divorce, and the woman received more than 100 million assets.
In December of the same year, she posted a short essay of more than 5,000 words on the Internet, accusing Wang Leehom of 12 crimes.
Under Li Lianglei's "revelations", Wang Leehom became a bad artist overnight, and his reputation plummeted.
The career of the singer, who was originally popular, was stagnant for a while, and the commercial endorsement was almost lost, and he faced high compensation in the future.
In order to save his reputation, Wang Leehom could only take Li Lianglei to court.
Li Lianglei, who originally vowed to "hammer" Wang Leehom to death, couldn't produce any valid evidence when it came time to go through the judicial process.
Lai Fangyu, the lawyer who fought for Wang Leehom back then, has been seeking justice for women for many years.
But when it came to the case of Wang Leehom and Li Lianglei, she rarely sided with Wang Leehom, which is enough to see how ridiculous Li Lianglei's accusation is.
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that Wang Leehom finally won the lawsuit and clarified his reputation.
Not only have the assets under his name been unfrozen, but the company he founded has also returned to normal operations.
But the price of regaining all this is what Wang Leehom got in exchange for more than two years of career "stagnation".
He didn't have to work hard for this, but under the rumors of public opinion, he naturally became a "sinner".
Many netizens would rather believe Li Lianglei's essay than calm down and believe the truth in Leehom Wang's mouth.
It can be seen that not only women feel powerless when they are splashed with dirty water, but it is also difficult for men to save themselves when they fall into the quagmire of rumors.
Because the cost of rumor-mongering is too low, even if it is just a casual sentence, it can make the person concerned suffer from the enemy;
In other words, whether you are in a tall building or a deep ditch, as long as you are entangled in rumors, you can make waves without wind.
It is true that while the rumor-mongers are hateful, the attitude of the spectators is also particularly crucial:
In the face of gossip, maintain more composure and rationality, and there will be one less cyberbullying and public opinion.
As the saying goes, "When an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent",
When rumors spread, you might as well let the bullets fly for a while, and many rumors will become clear.
The wicked spread rumors, the foolish listen to rumors, the wise stop rumors, and the brave repel rumors.
At a time when public trust is scarce, I hope that all people can work together to protect the authority of the truth and make the world a better and clearer place.
