Shocking Turn In Kris Wu Rape Case: Whistleblower Du Meizhu’s Ghostwriter Claims Sexual Assault Allegations Were All Made Up By The Influencer

A year after Chinese-Canadian singer and former member of K-pop boyband EXO, Kris Wu, 33, was sentenced to 13 years in jail for rape, there are new claims that the allegations of sexual assault against him were fabricated.

In 2021, Chinese influencer Du Meizhu publicly accused Kris of date-raping her in 2020 when she was 17.

In her Weibo post, she also accused him of being a sexual predator and having sexual intercourse with minors.

Following that, 24 other women came forward with their own allegations against Kris.

The disgraced star has appealed against his conviction and the result is pending.

Now, someone who claims to be the ghostwriter for Meizhu in her allegations against Kris has come out to accuse Meizhu of lying.

In a Weibo post on Monday (Nov 20), the writer surnamed Xu and goes by the handle “Mao Shilin”, said the posts she had written on behalf of Meizhu contained numerous false accusations.

For one, eight of the underaged girls who claimed that they were sexually assaulted by Kris were fabricated by Meizhu.

Also, despite claiming she was coerced, Meizhu had bragged about having sex with Kris, saying, “I want to join [the entertainment] industry. I need him but I feel that loving him is so tiring.”

Regardless of how contradictory the facts are, Mao Shilin said Meizhu is holding on to the accusation of sexual assault.

“She needs [Kris Wu] to die. If he doesn’t, she would [be sentenced for] fraud and [jailed] for 10 years,” wrote Mao Shilin.

Mao Shilin claimed that she too had been misled and lied to, and that “everything looks like a farce now”.

After learning the truth, Mao Shilin said she could not sleep or eat well for half a year and that she genuinely wants to help Kris.

“I’ve done all I could. I feel sorry [for what I did] all my life,” she wrote, adding that if there’s a chance in future, she hopes Kris can give her a beating.

The new revelation has become a trending topic and Kris’ agency has also shared Mao Shilin’s post.

However, netizens are skeptical of the writer’s claims.

“A former top celebrity was sentenced so severely, surely it wouldn’t be solely based on online posts for legal proceedings, right?” asked one netizen, while another said: “I remember that the verdict mentioned multiple people, so is the writer suggesting that Kris Wu was wrongly accused? Isn’t the writer also writing nonsense?”

Earlier this year, Chinese influencer Li En, who claims that she used to be Meizhu’s best friend, also took to social media to expose the influencer’s scamming ways and even offered to testify against Meizhu in Kris’ appeal.

According to Li En, Meizhu had wanted to use Kris to get famous, but failed.

When she couldn’t extort 8mil yuan (S$1.53mil) from him, she changed the consensual intercourse they had during their relationship into claims of sexual assault.
