Recently, the Chinese entertainment industry was stirred up when the actress dubbed "Beijing's first beauty" - Jing Tian - was accused of hiring a surrogate mother and defrauding her rich boyfriend's money.
The origin of the incident began with a "surrogacy contract" leaked from a famous paparazzi account in the entertainment industry. In the contract, not only does Jing Tian's English name appear as "Tian Jing", but the signature is also said to be very similar to the actress's signature.
Sources said that through a service company, Canh Diem is said to have paid a foreign woman to get pregnant, helping her have a child with her rich boyfriend. Canh Diem's boyfriend paid the first installment of 100,000 USD according to the terms.
After that, the actress took a private jet to the US, renting a whole floor of a hotel in Los Angeles to get eggs. But in the middle, she suddenly demanded to transfer an additional 50 million USD.
After the tycoon refused, she immediately flew back to her country and blocked all contact with the other person; the amount of money invested by the other person alone up to tens of millions of yuan was also not returned.
Hiring surrogates is a violation of the law in China.
Facing the wave of widespread controversy, the reaction from Geng Tian's office was very quick.
Just less than 30 minutes after the rumor broke out, the office immediately posted a statement not to tolerate false and malicious fabrications aimed at Canh Diem. At the same time, it said that it had entrusted lawyers to collect evidence and resolutely prosecute responsibility by legal measures to the end.
However, in the afternoon of the same day (May 22), paparazzi spread news with a tough response, publicly calling Canh Diem's name, criticizing her for being "bland" when deceiving a tycoon. They also emphasized that in the actress's statement, there was no word directly denying surrogacy.
Before the harsh questioning, Canh Diem's side has not taken any further action to clarify or clarify for more than 1 day.
According to insiders, Canh Diem missed the golden time to deal with the media crisis, causing controversy related to her to escalate.
After being rumored to have signed a surrogacy agreement, Canh Diem only posted a general denial statement through her office and then remained silent; "3 golden hours" to handle the media crisis were not utilized.
In the next "golden 24 hours" to present clear evidence, she also did not take any further action, causing her reputation to begin to decline, and past controversies were also dug up again.
Viewers mentioned that Jing Tian was fined more than 7 million CNY in 2022 for violating advertising regulations when representing a food product.
Not only simply being fined, at that time 2 brands publicly crossed her name, at least 6 advertising contracts were not renewed, and all advertising activities were banned for 3 years.
That means from 2022 to 2025, Canh Diem has almost no revenue from advertising.
Since the explosive success of the movie "Tư Đằng" (2021), Jing Tian no longer has any outstanding works. She maintains the pace of about one film per year but continuously fails.
Currently, both Canh Diem's reputation and career are in crisis.
