1. Celebrities occasionally make mistakes, and they once dominated the world
Looking back on the long river of history, the "drug-related" incident encountered by Venus in 1991 while participating in a dance competition in the United States once again leads us to think deeply about the power that celebrities have and the predicament they face.
At that time, Jin Xing was already a well-known and famous host, and her outstanding talent was highly appreciated by the public, and this international dance competition was more like a perfect display of her talent.
But unexpectedly, a friend who was jealous of Venus's talent maliciously slandered her on the eve of the game. This friend, perhaps because of her inner jealousy, couldn't stand Venus shining in the competition, so she reported Venus's involvement in drugs to the organizers in an attempt to prevent her from racing.
As expected, Venus was intercepted by the US police on the way to the arena and arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking. No matter how Jin Xing argued, the police turned a deaf ear, and she could only helplessly bear this unjustified disaster and be taken away.
Although this malicious slander was finally shattered and Venus was released, this experience of being unjustly imprisoned undoubtedly left an indelible scar on her soul. A popular star is trapped in a cage for no reason, which is a heavy blow to anyone.
Venus walked out of the detention center with a solemn face and gloomy eyes, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.
After this incident, Venus began to reflect deeply on the true meaning of friendship, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of the environment in which the star lives. As a bright new star, she is in the prime of her youth, but it is a pity that she suffered such a bad luck under the jealousy of her friends.
Second, if a star has a bad idea, his future will be ruined
Back in time to the late 90s of the last century, Hong Kong singer Cheng Zhongji can be described as a superstar who is so red and purple. He was wearing a delicate suit, his face was handsome, and his heroic posture of sweating on the stage deeply attracted the attention of countless fans.
At that time, Zheng Zhongji's career was in full swing, and it can be said that he was in power for a while and attracted much attention.
However, at this peak moment, Zheng Zhongji's impulsive behavior after drinking made his future come to naught in an instant. At one point, he indulged himself in alcohol while traveling on a flight, and as a result, he lost his temper and made a lot of noise in the cabin, causing the plane to make an emergency landing.
The captain and flight attendants quickly stepped forward to try to stop the reckless act, but Cheng Zhongji ignored it and acted arrogantly and rudely.
As the plane was forced to make an emergency landing, Zheng Zhongji's fate also changed dramatically. He was arrested by FBI agents for violating aviation security regulations and held in a cold detention cell.
At this moment, he has a haggard face and is wearing an ordinary orange prison uniform, which is in stark contrast to the personable public figure image on weekdays.
Lying alone on the iron bed, Cheng Zhongji fell into deep remorse, unable to understand why he had lost his mind in an instant and committed such a stupid act that endangered public safety.
The same tragedy happened to the well-known host Gao Xiaosong. While studying in the United States, he was arrested and imprisoned for two DUIs. The first drunk drive caused him to lose control of his driving on the road, resulting in a serious traffic accident that injured four passers-by.
Faced with the scene of the injured being taken to the hospital, Gao Xiaosong's eyes were hollow, his expression was panicked, and his heart was full of endless guilt. In the end, the court sentenced him to six months in prison.
However, after his release from prison, Gao Xiaosong did not learn from this experience. After getting drunk again, he drove around the streets and eventually crashed into a fire hydrant on the side of the road and was caught red-handed by patrolling police.
At this time, Gao Xiaosong's eyes were blurred, he was in a trance, and he was still muttering drunken nonsense.
The two once brilliant stars walked step by step into the abyss of breaking the law and committing crimes, and their future became bleak. As the old proverb goes: "One misstep becomes a thousand hatreds", this sentence is undoubtedly the most profound warning to them.
If they had thought more and acted prudently, such a tragedy might have been avoided.
3. Celebrities were arrested in connection with the law, and some were released without charge
Since the beginning of the new century, 2017 is undoubtedly a very challenging year for the entertainment industry. This year, Chinese music superstar Yingda suddenly fell into a deep predicament and was arrested in the United States on suspicion of money laundering.
At that time, Yingda was pale, wearing a prison uniform, her hands were tightly handcuffed, and she was surrounded by federal agents and walked out of the courthouse. His face was full of frustration and his eyes were empty, in stark contrast to the radiant image he used to have on stage.
Indah is filled with fear that she will be treated unfairly in a prison in a foreign land.
In the same year, Zhou Libo, a celebrity in the entertainment industry who has attracted much attention, was unfortunately detained by the local police in the United States in accordance with the law because he was deeply involved in the investigation of "drugs and guns". Seeing that moment, I saw that Zhou Libo was extremely nervous, his wrists were handcuffed coldly, and he was sternly escorted by a group of heavily armed police officers.
Despite his best efforts to clear his innocence, the police ignored him.
After 11 rounds of court proceedings, the court acquitted Zhou Libo due to the lack of fingerprint evidence and the fact that the police searched his vehicle without his permission.
The moment he walked out of the court, Zhou Libo was relieved, and the torment of more than two years finally came to an end.
However, among the many cases, the most dramatic is undoubtedly the encounter of the famous former CCTV host Luo Senyou. He was arrested in the UK on charges of storing a large number of illegal videos of cruelty to animals and women.
The bailiff found hundreds of such videos on his computer, filled with jaw-dropping images of bloody violence.
In the face of such serious accusations, Rosenyou vehemently denied it, insisting that the videos were just "fodder" for him to write his novel. However, the judges disagreed, arguing that such a large number of videos could never be completed in a short period of time, and that it was clearly the result of a long-term accumulation.
In the end, Rosenyou paid a heavy price for this, was sentenced to three years in prison in front of the camera, and he was listlessly escorted away, I am afraid that he never expected that he would end up like this.
Fourth, the star is in prison, and some of them have been successfully released to clear their grievances
2018 is undoubtedly a year full of challenges and pressures for many well-known artists. Liu Qiangdong, the founder of JD.com, has been arrested on suspicion of assaulting a female college student in Minnesota, USA, and the matter has attracted widespread attention around the world.
At that time, the scene of Liu Qiangdong being escorted to court continued to ferment in major media around the world for several months. His hands were tightly bound by handcuffs, and his face was haggard, in stark contrast to the humble and polite image of the past.
Liu Qiangdong couldn't hide the fear in his heart, sometimes looking around, sometimes bowing his head helplessly, which was far from the image of his infinite scenery in the past.
After 4 years of twists and turns, this case finally ushered in the dawn in 2022. The two parties reached a settlement agreement, and Liu Qiangdong not only expressed his deep apologies to his beloved wife Zhang Zetian, but also announced that his wife was pregnant with a second child, trying to make up for the pain in his wife's heart.
Like Liu Qiangdong, chairman and chief executive officer of JD.com, who was also sexually assaulted in 2018, well-known Chinese actor Gao Yunxiang is also facing alleged sexual assault charges against a Chinese female producer in Australia.
After learning of the incident, his beloved wife Dong Xuan did not hesitate to go to Australia and paid a life-saving bail of up to 3 million Australian dollars for her.
In the years that followed, the case entered a long and back-and-forth court phase. It was not until March 2020 that the Australian court finally made a final ruling: Gao Yunxiang was acquitted! At the end of the trial, Gao Yunxiang folded his hands and expressed his deep gratitude to the lawyers, relatives and friends present, and his face was filled with a long-lost sense of relief.
However, what makes people sigh is that this two-year-long lawsuit not only seriously destroyed his acting career, but also shattered his married life.
Another public figure who was deeply involved in domestic violence allegations in 2018 was the high-profile popular idol Jiang Jinfu. He was first harshly reprimanded by his ex-girlfriend in Japan, who eventually chose to abandon the legal route, but Jiang's reputation was gone.
To make matters worse, it wasn't long before his current girlfriend also came forward to expose his domestic violence during their relationship.
In the face of so many accusations, Jiang Jinfu had a haggard face, and he tried his best to defend himself, but he could not change the trajectory of his fate after all. This series of domestic violence scandals caused Jiang Jinfu's reputation to plummet, and his acting career almost came to a standstill.
To date, his image has not been fully restored.
Fifth, celebrities have caused trouble when they travel overseas, and it is difficult to justify their negligence for a while
In the turmoil of many celebrities, the famous Hong Kong singer Lin Zixiang also had a similar experience. In 1999, he and his wife embarked on a trip to the United States to enjoy a wonderful vacation.
One day, the two were strolling leisurely in the mall, and Lin Zixiang happened to see a fashionable pair of sunglasses and couldn't help but try them on.
The frames of these glasses are designed to be extremely comfortable, and the lenses can effectively block sunlight, which Lin Zixiang praised and immediately decided to buy. However, at the critical moment of payment, he was negligent and left the mall with his glasses in a grand manner.
The owner of the optical shop quickly noticed the theft and immediately called the police. Soon after, Lin Zixiang was intercepted by police on the street and taken to the police station for questioning. Although he tried to explain that it was just an unintentional mistake, neither the merchant nor the police ignored it and finally ruled the incident as a crime of "theft".
In the end, Lin had to pay up to $75 in compensation and was arrested by the local police on suspicion of the "theft", and had to spend several days in a cage-like prison.
During that time, he was terrified and on high alert, looking around like a tightrope for fear of being bullied by the prison guards.
When he walked out of the prison gate and stood in front of the camera to be interviewed by reporters, he still looked ashamed, and felt unprecedented self-blame and remorse for his momentary negligence and bringing such serious consequences to others.
For Lin Zixiang, this turmoil is undoubtedly a valuable life lesson. An inadvertent mistake made him saddled with the notoriety of a "thief", spending several days behind bars in prison and paying a heavy price.
This unforgettable experience made him deeply aware that as a public figure, every seemingly insignificant small action will become the focus of media hype, and be widely disseminated and scrutinized.
At the same time, all crimes must not escape the severe punishment and punishment of the law.
Part 6: Celebrities are cautious in their words and deeds, and think twice before acting
The words and deeds of celebrities naturally attract much attention, and the honors, reputations and even trivial matters they face all affect our in-depth thinking about the social responsibility of celebrities.
These twists and turns in the course of life reveal a valuable truth - no individual or group can transcend the authority of the law, let alone cover up their own mistakes by shameless means such as intimidating others or even playing with power.
Once fame and fortune are gained, the slightest negligence can easily make a big mistake and ruin the future.
Among the many celebrities, some people are self-reaping, such as Zheng Zhongji, Gao Xiaosong and others who were ruined due to alcoholism and trouble; There are also innocent victims, such as Jin Xing, who was maliciously slandered by his friends, and Lin Zixiang, who was in trouble due to a moment of negligence.
However, whether they are intentional or unintentional, the fair judgment of the law is non-discriminatory. We should take this as a lesson, be strict with ourselves, always be vigilant and self-disciplined, and avoid losing everything because of a mistake in thinking.
Looking back on what happened to these stars, it is really embarrassing. Some people get into trouble because they are confused, drunk and make trouble; Others were detained and detained due to negligence; Others were slandered and framed and unjustly imprisoned.
It is no exaggeration to say that as public figures, their every behavior will be infinitely amplified by the media, and the slightest mistake may cause a catastrophe.
In the face of the solemn trial of the law, some of these stars woke up and changed their ways; Others have been hit hard and have not been able to make a comeback. Their personal experience reminds us that if we are cautious or impulsive, we will pay a heavy price for breaking the law and neglecting our duties.
Therefore, we should take this as a lesson and always be vigilant! We must forge ahead, firmly grasp the belief of self-restraint, and jointly create a social environment in which everyone helps each other, advances in harmony, and is full of goodness and progress.
