All you need to know about Zi Yu's alleged former girlfriend's allegations and claims against the actor

On Thursday, July 24, Zi Yu's alleged former girlfriend released a statement through Weibo explaining that their personal pictures were posted in hopes that the actor, Zi Yu, would acknowledge his actions and take accountability. She also expressed that all she wanted was an apology from him for his behavior toward her as their relationship neared its end.

Here's what the statement read:

"He ghosted me, I'm a useless person, I tried so many ways to contact him, but they all led to nothing. I'm guessing his agent probably took his phone...You chose to sacrifice me every single time, hiding like a turtle in its shell. Getting ghosted by you caused me to fall apart uselessly yet again. I can't relieve the painful soreness in my heart. It's crushing my chest and I can't breathe. I'm in so much pain, but since I've decided to post this."

The alleged former girlfriend added that the actor's staff had reportedly reached out to her. However, she had claimed at that time that many people, including his agency and his fans, would probably support the actor.

She expressed that she felt rather alone in the battle. The former girlfriend added that the staff allegedly said that she can post their personal pictures since it's her right, but they will take care of it later.

"They told me to post it, that I can post it, it's my right. They will take care of it after I post it. (I really don't know how I'll be taken care of, say I faked the screenshots, photoshopped the photos? But I can't take it anymore," she claimed.

Regardless, she concluded her statement by further expressing that she only wants an apology from Zi Yu for the events thats unfolded between them.
