Socialite and author deny affair allegations after intimate photos surface

Married businessman Liang Xuan'an is embroiled in controversy following accusations of an inappropriate relationship with socialite and author Chou Shu-ching. Online posts recently surfaced, including screenshots of social media stories, alleging that the pair were seen in a private room engaged in intimate physical contact, with the woman's hand on the man's thigh, and that they were kissing publicly.

Everything is baseless speculation and insinuation, and I don't want online remarks to cause more misunderstandings.

Liang Xuan'an has directly addressed and refuted these claims, asserting that they are untrue speculations and insinuations. He stated that his interactions with Chou Shu-ching are purely platonic, emphasizing that he is offering support to her during a difficult period in her life. He expressed a desire for her not to give up and to find strength through her faith and by facing life bravely.

“

I am purely offering encouragement and warm companionship as a friend to help her through a difficult time in her life.

Chou Shu-ching also responded forcefully to the allegations through her Instagram stories. She dismissed the accusations as "ridiculous" and clarified that the person seen in the video was her brother, not Liang Xuan'an. She questioned why people are so focused on her private life and criticized the labeling of her personality based on her actions, stating that introverts can also be emotional and lively.

The netizens are really funny. They took a screenshot of Xiao Shushen's husband's story, filmed me hugging a man, and it's normal for me to rush to hug my brother, okay? Go find out which relative he is before writing articles!

Liang Xuan'an further explained that the gathering in question was a normal dinner among friends aimed at providing comfort and encouragement, with expenses totaling NT$250,000. He indicated that his legal team, including former judges, is handling the matter and that they may pursue defamation charges against those spreading false information. He demanded the removal of the content within three days and a public apology to protect his rights.

Don't be afraid, get up from where you fell. Life will bring misunderstandings, but you can't stop doing good because of misunderstandings. May everyone replace attacks with love and tolerance, and rumors with truth.
