Tang Chih-ping's Emotional Outbursts and Conflicts; Girlfriend Reveals He Was Physically Abusive: 'I Really Can't Take It Anymore'

The personal struggles of actor Tang Chih-ping have come to light through a candid account by his girlfriend, Ms. Chen, who detailed a pattern of emotional instability and concerning behavior. Tang, who has been largely out of the public eye since the passing of his mother in June 2024, reportedly experienced a severe emotional episode at his residence last month, leading to police intervention.

“

He often has emotional outbursts over trivial matters in life, like spilling drinks on me in the street in Ximending, or getting angry over small things like washing cups or tidying the refrigerator.

Ms. Chen described a distressing dynamic in their relationship, marked by Tang's frequent outbursts over minor issues, such as spilling drinks in public or disputes over household chores. She revealed that these incidents escalated to physical altercations on two to three occasions over their year-and-a-half relationship. While she clarified these were not instances of domestic violence, the repeated conflicts have left her emotionally and physically exhausted, reaching a point where she feels she "cannot hold on any longer."

“

I was threatened by him for three consecutive days last month, I am really tired, so I had to ask him to leave first to calm down, because I am also afraid of him getting physical.

Adding to the concern, Ms. Chen shared that Tang had previously been assessed by mental health professionals and diagnosed with schizophrenia. However, she lamented the lack of consistent follow-up and support, despite her efforts to document his condition and seek assistance. The narrative highlights a broader societal challenge in ensuring adequate mental health support and intervention for individuals experiencing severe psychological distress, particularly when they are reluctant or unable to seek help themselves.

“

Don't say domestic violence. The first conflict occurred in November of the year before last at the Guting MRT station. I chose to get a medical examination and file a lawsuit. Suing someone is actually very painful.

Tang's career has also been impacted, with unstable work opportunities contributing to financial strain. Despite his current difficulties, he reportedly wishes to return to acting. Ms. Chen is seeking to facilitate this by providing a contact email for work inquiries, hoping that a sense of purpose and routine might help stabilize his condition. The situation underscores the complex interplay of mental health, personal relationships, and professional life, and the urgent need for compassionate and effective support systems.

There was domestic violence before, and the social worker actively came to see me and helped me photograph and record my injuries.
