Recently, a sensational incident occurred in the entertainment industry: Chen Jianzhou lost a lawsuit. As a much-loved artist, he became the losing party because of his harassment of Big Tooth.
Back on June 27, girl group member "Big Tooth" was inspired by the "ME TOO" movement and bravely published a long article exposing and accusing her former boss Chen Jianzhou of harassing her.
As can be seen from her long essay, she remembers this unfortunate encounter vividly. She reviewed in detail the time, place, dialogue, and other details of the other party's expression when she was sexually harassed by Chen Jianzhou, and also bravely said what was in her heart that she had not had the courage to say before.
However, just as everyone was looking forward to the results of the investigation by the relevant departments, the prosecutor announced that it would not prosecute Chen Jianzhou. This decision has caused strong public dissatisfaction and questioning. Many people believe that whether the decision not to prosecute this case is fair and whether it meets the requirements of the law is worthy of in-depth consideration and examination.
Some people questioned whether the prosecution's investigation was due diligence and whether it fully took into account the rights and interests of Daya, while others believed that it was a typical protection of power.
In this case, Zhou Yipei revealed that she was sexually harassed by Chen Jianzhou when she was suspected of being on a business trip in 2012, but Chen Jianzhou denied the accusation and instead filed a criminal offense against Daya for the crime of obstructing reputation.
However, after the court summoned five friends around Daya, it was learned that Daya had revealed the fact that he was harassed by Chen Jianzhou to his friends 11 years ago, which confirmed that Daya's revelations were not rumors, which eventually led to Chen Jianzhou losing the lawsuit, and Daya would not be sued.
It is reported that the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office summoned 5 witnesses including Daya's showbiz friend Bei Tongtong, and as a result, these friends supported Daya.
Among them were witnesses who had witnessed Chen Jianzhou's misconduct with Daya in his hotel room. The incident once again drew public attention to Chen's actions and sparked a review of his previous allegations of sexual harassment.
And the testimony of Daya's current agent (Chen Jianzhou's former agent) is also very important. It is said that when the two worked together in 2017, Daya made it clear that he was unwilling to work on the same stage with Chen Jianzhou. After asking why, Daya revealed that he had been harassed by Chen Jianzhou in his hotel room, and angrily emphasized his explicit refusal many times during the narrative.
Since then, when Big Tooth encounters a hug between the opposite sex in the show, she will also have a stress reaction, and Chen Jianzhou has brought her a big shadow.
This is not the first time Chen Jianzhou has been involved in a sexual harassment incident. Earlier, he was controversial over allegations of sexual harassment against a woman, and despite widespread social attention at the time, in the end he was not punished by any law.
We should resolutely oppose any form of sexual harassment, and we should condemn and punish those who behave inappropriately. At the same time, we should also provide more support and assistance to those who have been sexually harassed.
In this matter, I think it is reasonable for the public to be dissatisfied and question the prosecution's decision not to prosecute. This case involves important social issues that require an impartial investigation and scrutiny of the parties' allegations. Regardless of the outcome, the rights and interests of victims should be protected and a fair judicial process ensured.
At the same time, this incident also reminds us that the problem of sexual harassment still exists in society. We should continue to pay attention to and take action to prevent and respond to sexual harassment and provide a safe and supportive environment for victims.
