  • Taiwan Glass Group president's wife, Lily Hsu, shared unverified claims about celebrity couple Nicholas Tse and Faye Wong on social media.
  • Hsu initially cited news reports but later admitted the information came from a YouTube video, which was identified as sensationalist

Lily Hsu, the wife of Taiwan Glass Group president Lin Yu-chia, has ignited controversy by sharing unverified claims about a long-standing celebrity love triangle involving Hong Kong actor Nicholas Tse, singer Faye Wong, and actress Cecilia Cheung.

Hsu initially posted on social media, alleging that Tse and Wong conspired to harm Cheung and that Wong used "black magic" and "sorcerers." She later modified her post, changing the accusation to Tse and Wong pressuring their child into a DNA test and describing Wong as a "woman who has been divorced twice."

When questioned by renowned manager "Kuan Jie" Chiu Li-kwan about the veracity of her claims, Hsu insisted she was merely reposting news from Google. She subsequently amended her statement again, attributing the information to a YouTube video. Hsu defended her actions by stating, "Every word has a source."

However, an investigation revealed that the YouTube video Hsu cited was a sensationalist "farm article" with unverified content. The video, posted eight days prior, had garnered only 1,091 views and the channel had just over 1,000 subscribers. Several other videos on the channel also sensationalized the alleged romantic entanglements of Tse, Wong, and Cheung, typical of content designed to attract clicks.

The incident highlights the challenge of discerning truth from falsehood in the digital age, with AI-generated content and unverified information proliferating across platforms.

Every word has a source.
