Surprising news emerged on November 1 when fans discovered that Lisa‘s Weibo account had been deleted, rendering them unable to interact with the idol on the platform.
No explanation was provided for the account’s deletion, except for a message stating, “This account can no longer be viewed due to reports of violations of laws, regulations, and Weibo community agreement.”
However, many netizens speculated that Lisa‘s involvement in the famous Parisian Cabaret, Crazy Horse, may have been the cause.
Lisa had made her grand debut at the Crazy Horse venue in September, with numerous celebrity acquaintances attending to show their support.
While receiving support from international fans, Lisa also faced backlash from more conservative fans in Asia due to the nature of the burlesque show.
China is well-known for its strict regulations surrounding media and entertainment. The China Performing Arts Association explicitly prohibits the promotion of indecent and lewd performances in the country.
Consequently, rumors started circulating that Lisa‘s Weibo removal could be a consequence of her participation in the burlesque performance at Crazy Horse.
Interestingly, another Chinese celebrity has also been affected by this situation. Angelababy, a famous Chinese actress, is no longer able to post on Weibo, and her Douyin (Chinese TikTok) account has been blocked as well.
This came after photos of Angelababy entering and leaving the Crazy Horse venue surfaced. As a result, it is highly speculated that Angelababy’s social media accounts were blocked for the same reasons as Lisa‘s Weibo deletion.
Angelababy, whose birth name is Angela Yeung Wing, is regarded as one of China’s most celebrated actresses.
Her rise to fame has been marked by compelling performances in television dramas and blockbuster films, earning her critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.
However, Angelababy finds herself facing a challenging situation as she navigates a complex period of career rejuvenation. She joins other celebrities who have previously encountered China’s strict censors and faced allegations of financial discrepancies, including tax evasion.
The suspension of Angelababy’s prominent social media accounts further adds to the obstacles she faces in her path to career recovery.
