CHINESE actress, Zhang Ziyi, famed for her role in Ang Lee’s 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', has taken offence at a fan’s comment recently in a group chat.
The fan was removed from an official fan club group chat after he called Zhang ‘aunty’, reported Rojak Daily.
He revealed the incident on his Weibo account on January 6 and said that he had posted the message, “Aunty, do you still remember what your profession is?”, in the group chat. He was then blacklisted.
Although he cannot take part in the group chat, the fan admitted it was his mistake. As a long-time fan (15 years!), he will continue to support the 41-year-old actress.
“I was not careful enough with my words; I acknowledge that I was blacklisted because of that. In the future, I will follow her activities quietly," he said.
The Weibo posting went viral and divided fans. Some thought that the actress went too far, whereas others believed the fan was rude and deserved to be removed.
However, his membership was reinstated soon after. Zhang’s manager had reached out to him and said it was all a misunderstanding before adding him back to the group. – The Vibes, January 14, 2021
