Now that survival show Actor Please Take Your Place 演员请就位 has indeed confirmed that season three’s line up will include Yao Di, could this pave the way for her full return to showbiz? News that the 42-year-old actress who has fallen out of favour following her cheating scandal in 2014 will be joining the show didn’t sit well with some Netizens, proving that people have very long memories.
It can be remembered that Yao Di fell in love with Wen Zhang after they filmed Naked Wedding 裸婚时代 together. After their cheating scandal exploded, her career was dealt a huge blow and was never the same again. Could her stint in Actor Please Take Your Place S3 be the one to finally resurrect it?
Some are not optimistic that’s gonna happen. After all, if Yao Di with her “bad record” can make a comeback, then other artists might also attempt comebacks. On the other hand, Netizens are wondering why controversial male artists such as Wen Zhang or Cai Xukun have already made a return yet a female artist can’t catch a break? Some Netizens have chalked it to the fact that Yao Di knew Ma Yili was already pregnant at the time yet still chose to get involved with the very much married and soon-to-be-father Wen Zhang. The couple eventually divorced in 2019.
People always say that time can dilute everything, yet it’s clear many have not yet forgotten.
