Hu Ge’s comments on social media following Jiang Jinfu’s arrest for domestic violence started a chain reaction from celebrities who knew Jiang Jinfu personally and spoke of him online. Some even openly expressed support for the actor and later apologized for their words.
Being the first to speak up, Hu Ge was slammed and accused of choosing sides. He and Jiang Jinfu worked together in the past under the management of Tangren Media.
Hu Ge also came under fire after netizens started heavily scrutinizing his past actions. A clip from years ago resurfaced wherein Hu Ge says that he kicked actress Jin Sha in the back as his way to relieve everyone’s stress. The actress later clarified that Hu Ge’s words were not very accurate and were probably said for the sake of variety. She also explains that they were filming a scene at the time. He was lying on a stretcher acting the part of an injured man and he lightly tapped her with his foot to signal that she had to walk faster or they may have to redo the scene. She reiterates that he did not kick her (see her post).
On Dec 1st, a lawyer’s letter was issued upon the request of Tangren Media on behalf of their artist, Hu Ge. The letter states that Hu Ge wrote a post on weibo to express his regretfulness and heartache, but a portion of netizens have been maliciously spreading bad comments, twisting the truth and making deliberate assumptions to suit their purposes. Their actions have insulted Hu Ge’s integrity and infringed on his rights. Hence, they demand that the fabricated comments be deleted or they will be taking legal action.

He should have never gotten himself involved. If he sympathized with his friend he could have reached out to him personally, not make a public statement and opening the door to criticism. The woman abused has had all types of rumors and judgement made against her because the man and his friends are celebs. She doesnt have the luxury of taking legal action against public opinion. Hu Ge was irresponsible when he released that ambiguous statement and now he cant handle public opinion and his statement being picked apart?

Exactly what I was thinking. He should have kept silent and the fact that he was ready to defend his friend on a matter majority of people have openly criticized means that he was also ready to take on different public opinions. Now why is he complaning when the heat is on

If I have a friend that is a guy, I always know him to be very kind and loving toward his wife, and one day heard that his wife cheated on him that led him to abuse her, of course I would feel bad for my friend. Hu Ge wanted to be a normal human who can post how he feels and share with friends like we all do on our social media, sad to see that just because he is a celebrity he needs to post only things the world will want to see or hear from him.
As how I read his post it is only sharing his feelings, it does not look like it is meant for using his star power to make people protect JJF. As if that's even a possible thing to do if we all know how to make our own correct decisions. Unless C-fans are getting stupid to that point of following suit instead of knowing how to distinguish right from wrong? If they are that stupid, then the problem is in those stupid fans. Why aren't people ever worried about how dumb, annoying and stupid fans are turning into now? Celebrities are not Gods who everyone needs to listen to, they are humans that want to be normal like everybody else.

Hence if he has the right to share his feelings about a private matter on a public platform, people also have the right to judge his statements because those statements were put out for the public to read. If he didnt want people judging or misinterpreting him he shouldnt have made it a public matter. Sounds like he wants publicity but not when public opinion is against him. Now when the tides turn he pulls out the victim card and get lawyers involved. I am a Hu Ge fan and I did not like it one bit he got himself involved because I could foresee he would be complicating himself.

"right to judge his statements…"
Or is it twisting the truth?
Can't you see how overboard people went with twisting his variety show into something completely different?
When anybody make a post, it means they only want others to agree with them? Nobody have to agree with him. OH YES yes yes…totally, he SHOULD NOT feel bad for his friend ok ok…that is what you all have agreed on. That is how you fans right there wish to control your idols.
That's fine…you guys can agree with that, and I can agree and disagree there…but, disagreeing is not the same thing as twisting the truth. I'm not even a fan and I understand this. Nobody likes it when the truth gets twisted right? Why twist the truth on others?

Anom 2 I agree with you. There are so many idiots that read his message the wrong way, and resorts to attacking him. It is good that his agency is taking action. Some people just take it to the extreme. Hu Ge and the other artist are not supporting violence more enabling JJF. They even state he is wrong. JJF deserve to be punished and pay for his crime. But you can stop people who care for him to express their empathy. Example if you had a love one who you loved and care for and only think of them as innocent, only day you find him acting out not his usual self. You obviously want to find out why he did what he did. The reason why people are mad is because those idiots interpret his message as if he is supporting JJF and enabling him to beat his ex. Who would of thought expressing sympathy towards a friend would cause so many idiots to be fire up and making accusations towards him.

Yes, that is why Hu Ge still want to wait to see the ultimate "truth" first. Anybody who is truly fair would want to see the whole entire truth before judging.
All people doing right now is saying JJF is wrong 101% for sure because first off he is a man and second off he is the abuser. They would not consider the fact he might be part of a victim as well if he really got cheated on.
The girlfriend's statement sounded like she wanted to find a way to get him back, she wanted to contact him, why does she want to contact him? She couldn't contact him because they broke up so she's saying all these things on social media as a revenge. If he's such a terrible abuser why does she still want to get back together with him? Why is she involving the media and not police? Can there be truth and lies mix in what she said? One day she tells us he hit her on the left, the second day, also hit her on the right, then the third day…and so on he hit her everywhere morning till night.
This is why anybody who is really fair should wait for the final investigation. Most of us would be careless about it, it is true that he is wrong and then his is just wrong, but for his friends, it's important for them to know everything first.

Petty much! Like he cant handle criticism but a girl getting beated should wait for the truth to come out since the person hitting her has all these celeb friends covering for him. I was super disappointed on his statement and all the criticism he is getting is deserved.

I guess the people commenting above have never known an actual victim of domestic abused. If my good friend started abusing his wife bc she cheated on him, he would no longer be a friend and you can bet I I ouldnt feel bad for him if he got arrested. If someone cheats on you or does something that makes you angry, you can end your relationship with that person. However, you shouldn't use that as an excuse to abuse another person. I have no pity for abusers and honestly I do not have a good impression of people who think there is any justification for domestic abuse.
To those people out there suffering from abuse do not let anyone make you feel as if it is your fault you are being abused.

i really don't understand people saying they want to see the "whole truth" come out first. um the truth is out? JJF publicly admitted to abusing his girlfriend? it doesn't matter if he got cheated on or any other reason no matter what the story is, no person deserves to be physically abused for any reason? i don't get why people are bending over backwards to defend this guy when he himself knows he doesn't deserve to be defended. the pictures of her bruises are truly horrifying. you may think you are trying to stay neutral but your bias is obvious.

You are the type of trash who wants to be friends with the good, successful, awesome people. You are no true friend. When somebody got into trouble and lose their good image, they are basically nothing to you, they wouldn't be considered once your friend. Or do they even deserve your so call special pity. Good job for proving yourself here that we should feel very bad for all the people around you! Hu Ge is a true person, he knows his friend is wrong and admits that they're wrong and he feels bad for them. Now I see, some people are just jealous they don't have something like Hu Ge.
JJF never came out to excusing himself that he hit her because she cheated. His friends spoke up for him! And their excuses do have reasons.
To be in JJF shoe is very hard, what if it's true that he gave up his career for her? Bought all the most expensive stuff for her, and in turn she cheated him and even lied so big that she was pregnant with his child, he fell for it and was about to marry her? He only have the choice to hold it in or hit her and go to jail. If it is so easy to hold it in then I tell y'all there will be so much less crimes today. Most people will not sit and do nothing. So she could've done more right? Maybe lie to him even more than that, for even longer, squander all his entire wealth away, and he still cannot hit back or else he'll go to jail? There are times these things are very unfair for men too, because there ARE some trashy women out there who will take advantage of this from men.
If she's a clean person who never do anything bad to him and he's a crazy abuser then I see why he deserves no pity, but we don't even know for sure if the rumors about her cheating is true or not.
"it is not your fault being abused" — that sentence is only for the clean people as I described above who really done nothing to their partner and got abused. The word victim means you are a clean person who got hurt unfairly. But for a person who is NOT clean and got injure for what they'd done, they are not considered a victim because they're just bearing the consequences of their own action and decision. I don't know if the rumor about JJF ex wife cheating is just rumors or if it's true, if it's not true then yes she is a victim. But if is a cheater then stop labeling her a victim just because she is a female, she harmed him first and he harmed her back they are both terrible the same.

When they announce the doctor examination or whatever proof came out saying that she was really abused regularly and did not have an affair, not in the mafia…etc.
He turned himself in, he is wrong and he deserved it, if he doesn't turn himself in he should be arrested. But if the truth is that she is a horrible person too, she is not all that clean either, she may escape the law but she should've been sentenced as well.
What's worse if she'd set up the scene to make him angry and hit her, she claim a bunch of money from him for her injuries, and all he can do is go to jail. That's what some of us mean by wanting to know the truth, there can POSSIBLY be a truth side to how angering it can be for men to be trapped those type of schemes. We don't know, just speculating because of the monetary things that can be involved in the case.

Only read the first two sentences. But you can justify your opinion however you like. Yes, I will not be friends with a person who physically abused his wife or husband for the matter. I honestly dont know how anyone could. Those people make a concious choice to let out their anger while beating someone up. And I dont think physical abused should ever be excused. She is a victim of domestic abuse, he beat her so bad he broke her teeth and caused internal bleeding so yeah she is a victim. Cheating doesnt excuse his actions. A normal person breaks up after they find out they were cheating on them. A person with anger issues abuses the other person. And those with anger issues usually keep escalating their assaults and that is why a lot of women are murdered by angry jealous ex boyfriends or ex husbands. People in society not taking domestic abuse seriously are enabling such crimes. But you do you and I will do me.

@Anon 5.a I couldn't say it better. Everyone is so quick in siding with the so-called "victim" when the whole full story has yet to be publish. I remember reading a story of a kid being bullied by a group of boys, and one day he had enough and fought back and accidentally killed one of the bullies. He was trial and was sentenced as an adult for manslaughter. In this case who is the real victim? The bully that was killed, or the kid who killed his bully? If there's no heat, there's no fire.
We don't know what or if she has done anything to caused him to attacked her in such a vicious way, but yet so many are willing to side with her without considering the truth behind the attacks. No one is saying he's not wrong and should not be punish. He physically hurt someone of course he should be punish for it. But there might be a reason for his sudden action. No one knows yet. And yes! He could have walked away without harming her, but we're not him! We're not in his shoes. We were not there to know what exactly happened. So why are people so quick to jump to conclusion???
No one is perfect. There are so many people that has done bad things in life due to a moment of wrong decision making. And those people regret it for the rest of their life. If you just discard that person just because of his wrong action (even though he is genuinely a good person that made a bad decision) then you're just someone without sympathy and understanding. And it's really sad.
There are two sides of the stories, and we don't know which one is the truth. It's better to wait for the official court statement. I will not side with anyone until more evidences come out.

Agree with 5b. Did he make a mistake? Yes. Is it excusable? No. But there could be circumstances around it that one can sympathize with… how can everyone judge without knowing all the facts.

He could of snapped when he found out she gave him a STDs? Not saying what he did was right, but a certain situation can make a person become in total stress and act out in violence. His friends are just trying to understand what happened. Maybe he has mental illness that he needs help with? Who knows? Regardless they need to find out the "truth" if he is just a woman beater punish him, if he has mental illness help him. Of course help the lady, she would need lots of help too.

There is a difference between a good person who did a bad thing in a moment of anger, and a bad person. He admitted to hurting her, but not to the specifics (that I know of). How do we know she didn't throw herself down the stairs to sustain other injuries to make it look worse? Not saying she did, or that he didn't do it. I'd like to reserve some judgement before everything is brought to light. A slap or a push in the heat of an argument, while still wrong, is different than the horrific abuse he's being accused of. If he did do it though, there's a special place in hell for someone like that.

All this victim blaming is disgusting. Victims of abuse don't come out and report it because of disgusting people like the ones on this thread who are trying to find every reason to make JJF the good guy. I agree with Anonymous 5/7. If someone close to me did that, I'd disown them. I'm not gonna coddle them and forgive them of their conscious actions. They deserve to be shamed and punished. And no one should be defending such actions with the bullshit, "but she might have instigated". NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BRUTALLY ABUSED LIKE THAT. There's a difference between swinging a punch cause someone is instigating crap and beating them to a pulp with no remorse.

I take back my comment about agreeing with Anonymous 7.

I don't think anyone is blaming the victim (most of us anyway). No matter what she did, him raising his hand against her is wrong. But what exactly did he do is still in question. You are right, no one deserves to be brutally abused LIKE THAT, no matter what the reason. But did he do ALL of those things? The case is still under investigation. Right now it's just her saying he did, but why are people condemning him already. Pictures don't prove who did it.

exactly. i know abuse victims, abusers dont deservev any sympathy. if people can sit down and solve problem like actual adults, then he can do it too, not by beating his partner to pulps. no on deserves that, no one
to Anonymous 8.b: did we read the same threads because i saw several pieces of trash defending him and justify his violent behaviors. we can wait for the investigation but it's safe to say he did laid his hands on her. his trash defenders need to stop with the "she did something to deserve it" i hope no one you love will be abused because you would not say the same thing if it does happen. it's easier said than be done. abusers can be super manipulative and charming. stop blaming the victim

Lol…these comments are so funny. Women turning against women is just tragic while men stick together however immoral. Wake up, stop defending abusers and pray you don't encounter people like women beaters and be asked by public and pretenders to bring the 'truth'. Hu Ge's black history is already out and any good impression his marketing built has evaporated. Birds of same feather flock together after all.

Anonymous 8b: this goes back to not trusting the victim and still giving the perpetrator the benefit of doubt. It's straight up wrong. People always think that in domestic violence cases, the abused is lying to some extent. Heres the fact, only about 1% of all reported domestic violence cases are fake. So what is the likelihood that JJF did all that? 99%.
We need to start trusting victims and stop pushing it aside as "we need the whole truth first".

It is so disgusting, how some people here pretend to say "stop blaming victim" but they are "victimizing Hu Ge" here. Moreover they do not allow Hu Ge to speak against the haters, and want him to just go under their bullying regime.
So if a random woman suddenly say Hu Ge violated her without any proof, no injury on her, she's not pregnant…etc. but based on her voice alone, whatever she say is the only truth? Nobody wants to blame a victim. But TRUTH is something that is above everything else. You cannot be bias and just think anything women or men say will be the truth, the truth needs investigation. I think it's getting useless talking to feminist extremist, because no matter what, y'all will only keep blaming whoever is a man out there without listening to any reasoning. While, nobody is blaming any victim here, we're only asking about getting more info. about this case and we ARE the ones who get blame for that. Who is blaming who?

Yes to 10a! I'm all for feminism but some people take it to extremes. Just because a woman says it it must be true…? And the man does not deserve ANY benefit of the doubt?
Anonymous
This is exactly the point. Even if it's only 1%, don't those people deserve the benefit of the doubt? Since when is knowing the whole truth a bad thing?
JJF is no "good" guy, and has lost pretty much all respect for raising his hand against a woman. I don't doubt the fact that he did hurt her in some way, and that is wrong, end of story, and he will be prosecuted for it. But preemptively punishing him in the court of public opinion for all of the alleged abuse just doesn't seem quite right either.
I guess I'm just arguing for fairness, not for JJF or against the girl, even though it might come off that way.
