- Social media users accused entertainer Wang Sijia of cutting through a long checkout line at a store.
- Wang denied the allegation, questioned why staff and other customers had not confronted her, and said she had little memory of visiting the store.
- She suggested the person may have mistaken her for someone else, citing an earlier claim that placed her in Kaohsiung while she was at home in Taipei.
Wang Sijia went online herself to reject an accusation that she had cut in line while shopping. The allegation surfaced in a social media discussion about celebrities described as rude customers.
One commenter named Wang and claimed she had crossed through a long line of shoppers waiting to pay. The commenter wrote that Wang had gone directly to the counter while everyone else waited.
I may look like a bad woman, but I am not that impolite.
Wang said she had visited the store only a handful of times and did not remember it after checking its location online. She challenged the account: โIf it was really a long line, and I really cut in, would the staff have served me? Would the entire line have said nothing?โ
If it was really a long line, and I really cut in, would the staff have served me? Would the entire line have said nothing?
She acknowledged that she might look like a โbad woman,โ but said that did not mean she behaved without manners. Wang added that she struggled with technology products and would not know what to buy without help from store staff. She said her quick and decisive shopping style appeared mainly when she bought clothes or bags.
Wang also criticized the commenter for naming her after the fact instead of stopping the alleged line-cutting at the time. She said, โIt is too difficult for one person to prove that they did not do something.โ She further recalled a message claiming someone had seen her in Kaohsiung, even though she had been sitting at home in Taipei, suggesting the latest witness might also have mistaken someone else for her.
It is too difficult for one person to prove that they did not do something.
