Artist Huang Zijiao, sexual harassment scandals continue, and the image of a good person will not be guaranteed?
Huang Zijiao's scandal stems from the fact that some of his behaviors in variety shows have been re-examined. For example, he once lifted Xiao S's skirt during the live broadcast and implemented "groping" on female colleagues. At the time, these actions were seen as "show effect", but now they are interpreted as sexual harassment and a lack of respect for women.
There is also a 17-year-old Internet celebrity "K girl" who accused Huang Zijiao of inviting her to take nude photos on the grounds of shooting, which eventually developed into forcible sexual intercourse. Another 17-year-old girl, Zofia, was also exposed that Huang Zijiao forcibly kissed her back then, and was asked to take nude photos when she grew up.
In addition to these accusations, Huang Zijiao himself has also publicly shared some controversial remarks, such as revealing that "I saw beautiful legs and wanted to see them and take them home as specimens", "I took nude photos of women in order to satisfy the lingering spring dream of men and beautiful women". In his photography exhibitions, he often objectifies women and equates nudity with art.
In addition to the above allegations, Wong has also been involved in other sex scandals in recent years. In 2021, an Internet celebrity "Abby" who claimed to be Huang Zijiao's ex-girlfriend broke the news that Huang Zijiao had secretly photographed her naked while she was asleep and shared the photos in a private group. Abby also revealed that Huang Zijiao has a serious "wife swapping" and "nude shooting" fetish, and often has relationships with multiple women.
Another female artist, "Cindy", has also publicly complained that Huang Zijiao once took nude photos of her while she was asleep and shared them with friends. Cindy said she had a brief relationship with Huang Zijiao at the time, but did not agree to be photographed nudely. She was ashamed of this, but never had the courage to make a public accusation.
In the face of women's accusations, although Huang Zijiao has repeatedly apologized, his behavior has aroused widespread concern in society. Some experts say that Wong's actions reflect a misconception that women are objects to be photographed and shared. This perception not only seriously violates women's rights and interests, but also promotes gender discrimination and objectification of women.
The exposure of the Huang Zijiao scandal has triggered a reflection on the ethics of artists in Taiwanese society. There is a view that as a public figure, the words and deeds of artists should be subject to social supervision. But in reality, artists seem to ignore this and regard fame and fortune as the only goal to pursue.
Some artists have publicly called for the establishment of a more perfect industry self-discipline mechanism in Taiwan's entertainment industry to punish those who violate the law and discipline. At the same time, some voices pointed out that the misconduct of artists often stems from the lack of awareness of gender equality in the whole society. Solving this problem requires the concerted efforts of all of society.
Some people also think that public opinion is too harsh, and some of Huang Zijiao's behaviors are just unintentional mistakes by young people. They called on society to give Huang Zijiao a chance to be a new man, instead of completely pushing him into a situation from which he will never recover.
