On October 27, QQ published an article discussing the shift in public perception of actor Huang Xiaoming and his ex-wife Angelababy. According to the article, their reputations seem to be inversely related—when Huang Xiaoming thrives, Angelababy faces criticism, and vice versa.
QQ reported that following her divorce from Huang Xiaoming, Angelababy’s career began to decline, particularly after she was involved in a scandal at Lisa’s strip show and was banned from making public statements for three months. Currently, Angelababy finds it difficult to secure opportunities for public appearances at major artistic events in mainland China.
Furthermore, Angelababy has been criticized for being ungrateful to her ex-husband. When she first met Huang Xiaoming, she was only a B-list model, but thanks to his support and promotion, she rose to A-list status despite her limited talent. Therefore, her success followed by divorce has been mocked.
However, public opinion has recently shifted, with Angelababy gaining more support while Huang Xiaoming faces backlash. The reason for this change is attributed to his new girlfriend, model Ye Ke, who has been causing controversy.
Ye Ke, who primarily works as a livestream sales host, has become a highly talked-about figure on social media since dating Huang Xiaoming. Her statements often spark heated discussions, and she has offended many celebrities by criticizing their work, even calling their songs “disgusting.”
QQ suggests that Ye Ke is losing favor with the public due to her controversial remarks, putting Huang Xiaoming in a difficult position. Her frequent appearances in trending topics have also dragged Huang Xiaoming into the spotlight, leading to calls for him to control her actions.
When asked why he doesn’t manage his girlfriend, Huang Xiaoming responded, “As long as people are entertained, it’s fine.” This reply was seen as dismissive and disrespectful to public opinion.
As a result, both Huang Xiaoming and Ye Ke’s reputations have plummeted, with more people viewing Angelababy in a positive light. QQ speculated, “Is Huang Xiaoming inadvertently helping Angelababy by damaging his own reputation? His poor behavior has made Angelababy look better in the public eye.”
Ye Ke has also been accused of exaggerating her background, wealth, and career. She is rumored to have attended a “gold digger” training camp with the goal of breaking into Huang Xiaoming’s marriage.
