I think the weeklong Me Too reveals in TW-ent may have come to a close, if there are more accusers against more stars so much attention on this hopefully have given them courage to speak up. The allegations started against Chris Wang for sexual assault and groping, the Mickey Huang for sexual assault and taking naked pictures, then against Aaron Yan for sexual assault and recording a sex video, and now against veteran TV host and variety star NONO (Nono Chen) who has the stage name most apropos for his allegations since all the women said NO. A popular online star accused NONO of sexual assault (forced kissing, groping, etc) in a car one time and it led to a cascade of over 20 women saying the same thing and even 2 women claiming rape. NONO claimed he “did not remember” any of these incidents but also said he was leaving the entertainment industry immediately and permanently. TW-netizens ran a poll asking which of the four men were the most disgusting after this week’s reveals and it was a landslide for NONO due to how many victims there were and that he allegedly escalated to rapes. I’m fairly certain all four men are forever done with in the entertainment industry.
