Bai Shanshan clarified that she was just an ordinary dancer who had worked hard to reach her current position. She denied any involvement in activities unrelated to her work as a dancer. In response to discussions about her house, car, and salary, Bai emphasized that these matters were all on record and officially registered.
The Weibo netizens reacted with mixed emotions, some expressing support for Bai Shanshan, while others continued the spread of rumors and speculations online. The controversy surrounding White Shuangshan has been a hot topic among Chinese social media users in recent weeks.
Many netizens expressed their support for Bai Shanshan and her decision to report the false rumors to the police. A Weibo user named Yolivering Dingding posted a video expressing their admiration for Bai Shanshan, stating that she was "just an ordinary and hard-working girl" who "deserves respect."
However, not all netizens were supportive of Bai Shanshan. Some used the controversy to spread further rumors and speculations about the group's activities and relationships with other individuals or companies. One Weibo user posted a message comparing Bai Shanshan to Wu Yixuan and Li Benguang, two figures who were "XXed out" before their careers were over.
This led to further inflammatory remarks from other netizens. Some questioned why Bai Shanshan had chosen to report the rumors to the police instead of simply clarifying the facts and ignoring them. Others suggested that she might be planning to become a vlogger or sell products as her next step, seemingly implying negatively on her motives.
However, the majority of netizens expressed understanding and support for Bai Shanshan's situation. One Weibo user stated that "It's best not to say too much at this moment. Everything should be defined after Xu boss gets a result!" implying that the truth will eventually come to light.
Bai Shanshan's statement also made clear that she had bought her house herself and emphasized that there was no connection between her and Xu Boss, the wealthy owner of the Evergrande real estate company. With these clarifications, it seems that the situation is starting to come to a resolution for Bai Shanshan and the Hengda Singing and Dancing Troupe.
The controversy surrounding White Shuangshan highlights the prevalence of online slander and rumors in Chinese society, as well as the challenges that celebrities and public figures face in managing their personal and professional lives amidst intense media scrutiny. The case also emphasizes the importance of standing up against false accusations and defamation, especially for those in the public eye.
