Weibo official released a formal announcement on August 28 to clarify that the so-called chat records between Sun Yuchen and Eileen Gu are completely fabricated false rumors, and the related maliciously spread content has been fully handled by the platform. This AI-generated rumor was exposed by Sun Yuchen's ex-girlfriend Zeng Ying—she never posted any explicit photos on any platform, and the entire set of chat records were fake products generated by AI.

Purchase traffic to push hot topics, obvious black industry traces

Zeng Ying revealed that the blog account spreading the rumor only followed one person on the entire platform and had only posted this one piece of false information after registration, yet it mysteriously rose to the eighth position on Weibo's hot search list, suggesting there may be an illegal traffic-purchasing operation behind it. She called on Eileen Gu's management team to take legal action against the forger and resolutely sue the perpetrator, while also urging netizens to jointly resist vulgar rumors.

Subsequently, the Weibo community management account "Weibo Xie" issued a handling notice: After checking the background, the involved user used AI tools to create false and vulgar content, maliciously violated the rights of multiple public figures, and gained attention through rumors to illegally attract traffic, seriously violating the community rules. The platform has imposed the maximum penalty of permanently closing the account. Before this incident, similar unfounded gossip such as "Jing Tian's wealthy boyfriend is suspected to be Sun Yuchen" also once made it to the hot search list, revealing a clear malicious marketing traffic-seeking industry chain behind mass rumors.
