According to Taiwanese media reports, a group of male fans approached Chi-ling at the restaurant for a picture and one of them was seen holding the actress tightly by the waist, upsetting fans.
Although seemingly taken advantage of by said fan, the 42-year-old remained poised and professional while taking the photo. Shortly after, she posted a shoulder-baring selfie on Weibo with the caption, “clearing up my emotions”, but it is unknown if she posted it in response to the incident.
The actress made headlines in recent months when Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen lashed out at her on Facebook, which prompted a response from rumoured boyfriend Jerry Yan. Although the pair reportedly split in 2006, it was said that they never did break up, and that they are cohabiting currently.
