im nosey. what's the scandal?
In '21, Zheng Shuang (the female lead of Love 020) and Zhang Heng, her then-partner, paid for a surrogacy in the States. The surrogate was around 7-months pregnant when Zhang reportedly changed her mind and decided she didn't want the babies. She initially tried to have the surrogate terminate the pregnancy, but couldn't (because it's illegal). So, she tried to unload the babies onto her partner's family. Not sure why she suddenly changed her mind, but netizens speculated it had to do with them breaking up.
All of this was revealed through past chats and recordings between the two parties. When it made the news, Zheng was dropped by pretty much all of her sponsors. All of her activities came to a halt, her projects were shelved or her role was recast, and no one in the industry wanted to have anything to do with her.
Currently, her ex has full custody of the twins, and Zheng has visitation rights. There has been quite a bit of courtroom drama surrounding both parties, but lately, things seemed to be pretty quiet. Hopefully, that means they've finally come to their senses to become responsible parents.
