Allegations on Kris Wu
Du Meizo, a 19-years old College student has come up against Kris Wu. She has alleged that there are at least seven other women whom Kris Wu seduced with promises of jobs and other opportunities.
She said that some were even less than 18 years of age. But they didn’t reveal whether or not they were younger than China’s age of consent i.e. 14 years. The girl has even publicized her accusations on social media and later in an interview with NetEase.
According to the girl, she thought she was called for a career opportunity. But later, she was forced to drink and was raped. The next morning, she found herself in Wu’s bedroom. Then he promised to take care of her but very soon, he started to ignore her.

Wu has denied all the allegations. “They were never any ‘minors'”, Wu wrote on Weibo earlier this month. He even said, “if this kind of thing happened, please rest assured that I will go by myself to jail!! I will take legal responsibility for my words above!!”
