Chinese actress Fan Bingbing has been awarded 161,500 yuan (RM94,941) in compensation after winning a legal case against a man who accused her on social media of sexual impropriety.
The 37-year-old, who was last year ordered to pay almost 884mil yuan (RM519.67mil) in outstanding taxes and fines following an investigation into tax evasion, filed the suit against Chen Yongpeng after he repeatedly accused her on Weibo – China’s Twitter-like platform – of engaging in “improper sexual relationships”, according to a statement by Beijing Xingquan Law Firm, which represented her.
