A 4 January post on Chinese social media Weibo that was seemingly made by Chou’s wife, Hannah Quinlivan, went viral for the allegations it made about his lack of loyalty.
The post said, “Mr Chou, tear down that fake mask of yours. Your perfect image can’t hide your true self for long… I don’t want to live a day like this anymore, Mr Chou! Those disgusting activities that you and your friends did, do you really think the truth won’t come out someday?”
The post alleged that the 44-year-old Mandopop singer had engaged in orgies.
There were rumours that Quinlivan had deleted the post as it was unavailable on her Weibo profile.
Of course, the post caused an uproar.
However, fans of Quinlivan noted that she had not been on Weibo since 30 December 2023.

Some fans took more drastic measures to prove Chou’s innocence.

Jay Chou and Hannah Quinlivan
The pair tied the knot in 2015.
The wedding was held in Yorkshire, northern England, and was said to be the “most extravagant” wedding in Taiwanese entertainment.
Notably, Chou is 14 years older than Quinlivan.
However, in media interviews before the wedding, he said, “My mental age is about the same as hers, and we get along like children.”
According to United Daily News, Chou had composed a song for the ceremony.
The couple have three children.
Besides posting about his professional life, Chou often posts about Quinlivan on his Instagram page.
A post on 21 December 2023 depicts the couple staring into the sunset.
On 22 August 2023, Chou posted a photo of Quinlivan and his children with the caption, “Happy Chinese Valentine’s Day!”
The Taiwanese-Australian made her Hollywood debut in Skyscraper, where she starred alongside Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Neve Campbell.
She also has her own fashion brand called “Jendes” in 2018.
The brand’s name comes from a combination of “Jen”, Quinlivan’s Chinese name, and the word “design”.
She has been married to Chou for eight years.
The pair will celebrate their ninth anniversary on 17 January 2024.
