Taiwanese actor Wu Kang Ren (pic) has found himself dragged into the #MeToo movement. He took to social media late on Thursday to refute an anonymous Facebook post that claimed on Wednesday that an accomplished actor had improper relationships with several women even though he has a girlfriend.

It also alleged that the man was able to influence production units and directors to drop actresses and female staff he has had sex with if he wanted to avoid them.

It added that the actor, identified only as W, had played upright characters on-screen, like a lawyer and a prosecutor.

Wu portrayed a defence attorney in the series The World Between Us (2019) and a prosecutor in the crime thriller drama Copycat Killer (2023).

The 40-year-old, who is dating Taiwanese actress Ivy Shao, denied the allegations made in the anonymous post, adding he does not know the person behind it.

He wrote: “I am not worried about #MeToo or things I have not done. I have classified the post as a personal feud after reading it... and using the #MeToo issue to create trouble.” – The Straits Times/Asia News Network
