According to Chinese media outlets including QQ and 163, Jing Tian has recently disappeared from public activities and social media following allegations involving surrogacy and financial disputes with a wealthy boyfriend.

Reports have also claimed that the actress is attempting to sell her luxury apartment near Shanghai’s Huangpu River for more than $22 million USD in order to deal with alleged financial pressure.

Once praised as “Beijing’s No.1 Beauty” and “the human-world peony flower,” Jing Tian is now facing criticism for a series of controversies that many believe severely damaged her once-promising career.

Relationship Scandal With Zhang Jike Became a Turning Point

Early in her career, Jing Tian cultivated an image of being a wealthy heiress from an influential family, with rumors frequently suggesting her father was a high-ranking official.

The elegant “rich girl” image reportedly helped strengthen her celebrity status, especially as she quickly secured major film projects, including appearances in Hollywood productions opportunities that were rare for Chinese actresses at the time.

However, controversy later emerged when her real family background became publicly known, leading some netizens to accuse her of exaggerating her upbringing and image.

Chinese media also alleged that her early entertainment career was financially supported not by family connections, but by a wealthy hidden boyfriend.

After reportedly separating from the businessman, many observers noticed a decline in the quality and scale of Jing Tian’s acting projects.

Her public relationship with former table tennis star Zhang Jike later became one of the biggest scandals of her career.

According to reports, Zhang Jike allegedly accumulated gambling debts and was accused of showing private videos and intimate photos of Jing Tian to creditors while attempting to delay repayment.

Although Jing Tian was widely viewed as the victim in the situation and eventually reported the matter to police, the scandal still heavily affected her public image and mental health.

The actress later admitted that she experienced extreme emotional distress during that period, revealing she became afraid to leave her home.

Advertising Controversy Led to Industry Penalties

In 2022, Jing Tian faced another major backlash after promoting a food product that allegedly made misleading claims about blocking fat and sugar absorption.

Authorities reportedly determined that there was insufficient scientific evidence supporting the product’s advertised effects.

According to reports, Jing Tian received approximately 2.5 million yuan for the endorsement. The income was later ruled illegal, leading regulators to confiscate the payment and impose additional fines.

In total, the actress reportedly faced penalties amounting to around 7.2 million yuan.

She was also banned from accepting advertisement endorsements for three years — a punishment considered highly unusual for a top-tier Chinese celebrity.

The incident significantly damaged both her reputation and commercial value within the entertainment industry.

Surrogacy and Financial Fraud Rumors Spark New Crisis

Just as public opinion toward Jing Tian had begun improving, the actress became entangled in another explosive controversy.

On May 24, rumors spread across Chinese social media involving an alleged English-language surrogacy contract in the United States signed under the name “Tian Jing,” which many online users linked to the actress.

Reports claimed that Jing Tian and a wealthy boyfriend had traveled to the U.S. for surrogacy procedures, which remain illegal under Chinese law.

The rumors further alleged that the businessman transferred tens of millions of yuan to the actress, after which disputes over additional payments reportedly occurred.

Some reports even claimed Jing Tian later cut off communication and refused to return the money, leading to legal conflict.

Although Jing Tian denied that the woman mentioned in the viral documents was her, online discussions intensified after netizens pointed out alleged similarities and inconsistencies in the actress’ response.

Her subsequent disappearance from public activities and reports of urgently selling property only fueled additional speculation online.

Many Chinese netizens now believe Jing Tian’s repeated controversies have permanently damaged her once-glamorous image.

Once regarded as one of the most admired actresses in Chinese entertainment, she is increasingly being described as a celebrity whose career collapsed due to repeated scandals and poor decisions.

As discussions continue online, concerns are growing over whether Jing Tian will be able to recover her standing in the Chinese entertainment industry.
