“ I have been following the recent rumors
and accusations surrounding Ms. Zhang Ziyi
with great disbelief. I am personally very
upset to find these false and vicious rumors
in the Chinese media and I completely
condemn them。
I stand by Ziyi fully in these difficult
times. And, if the rumors, lies, and
accusations continue in the print media or
online, I will take the necessary legal
actions to counter them。
Ms. Zhang’s and my relationship is private
and personal; the media should not invade
our privacy nor continue to spread rumors of
a separation。”
