After Cheating Scandal, Wu Xiubo Retires From Acting
The actor’s mistress’ lawyer deny any external influence to thwart his career.
With irreversible damage done to his acting career from his seven-year extramarital affair and his handling of the scandal, Chinese actor Wu Xiubo (吳秀波) is said to have retired from acting.
After their fallout in 2019, the Finding Mr. Right <北京遇上西雅图> actor sued his mistress, Ruby Chen (陳昱霖), for extortion of money. The singer was sentenced by courts to three years in jail, with a three-year reprieve and a fine of 100,000 RMB on extortion charges.
No Manipulation to Target Wu’s Career
One of the biggest celebrity scandals in Chinese entertainment, Wu’s reputation was dragged through the mud when the married actor, who had hitherto been known as a family man, sent his mistress to jail. He was quickly censored from programs and dramas following a public backlash.
Speaking with the press, one of Ruby’s lawyers emphasized that there were no obligations to make any financial compensation. Although his client had proposed compensation initially, the idea was rejected by Wu Xiubo. “At the start of the case, we hoped to be able to resolve the issue and proposed making financial amends to [Wu Xiubo], however this was not accepted. As the case moved into judicial review and prosecution phases, we felt there was no need for financial compensation and we therefore stopped considering this possibility.”
The lawyer also denied talk of Ruby being manipulated by external forces to attack or thwart Wu Xiubo’s career, “All there was behind the case were her parents’ insistence.”

Well deserved for both of them… But having a mistress is really no uncommon culturally amongst the well off Chinese men…I bet many missed the days they can have a wife and many concubines…
@hohliu Even Chairman Mao had a thing for very young girls…Common knowledge.
@hohliu I think you’re mistaken Sun Yat Sen with Mao Zedong.
@jetmasters Chairman Mao’s sleeps with so many under aged girls that it is disgusing…
@hohliu Another falun gong member I supposed.
@hohliu thats a pretty racist remark. You seem to have forgotten that it is now a very common sight to see humans having affairs, to be caught philandering and all these acts regardless of their gender, race, language and nationality
@conan2209
chinese men have mistresses, white men have affairs, black men have endless girlfriends. men are just pigs.
@m0m0 Right, because only men cheat. Lol. And please leave pigs out of this.
@ladyzhuge True, Pigs dont sleep around.
@m0m0
Well to be fair, women cheat as well so it is not just men.
@conan2209 Please, I am referring to history and tradition….I am Chinese and I am stating facts…
@hohliu and being a chinese entitles you to make racist remarks?
@conan2209 Clearly a time waster… And not very bright.
@hohliu What is got to do with late Chairman Mao ? Ruby Chen (陳昱霖) is not young girl anymore , she is fully grown up person .
