Did ‘Love O2O’ actress Zheng Shuang want to abandon her kids? Here's the truth behind her abortion rumors
‘Love O2O’ actress Zheng Shuang, mother of two, has been accused of wanting to abort her two surrogate children by her ex-partner. To add more to that, her father allegedly wanted to abandon the children, a voice recording revealed. Here’s the truth behind rumors of abortion and abandon controversy.
The ex-partner, Zhang Heng, has put out a statement asking for understanding his reason to stay in the US to protect the two children. In a letter, Heng revealed, “Hello, this is Zhang Heng. It has been a while. As you can see, I was put on the blacklist for searches again. Over the past year, unnecessary slander and cyber attacks have appeared on the internet again. My family is feeling very helpless due to my personal issues. They are exhausted and unable to live normal lives. As a result, we are unable to reunite, and I feel really uncomfortable.”
He added, “I am in the USA, but the reason why my family and I have been in the USA for over a year is that we must protect and take care of two young and innocent lives. Staying in the USA is a situation we just can’t avoid. I have hired a lawyer to handle all matters related to this, and I believe the facts will stand true in both Chinese and American court. Finally, I beg the media and those in the public with any sense of justice to recognize the truth, and not believe internet rumors.”
Zhang Heng’s statement came after he was accused of borrowing money in the name of the Chinese actress Shuang and running away to the US to avoid paying off debts surfaced. Followed by Heng’s statement, his friend revealed the birth certificates of two children where Zheng Shuang has been stated as the mother of both. The officials haven’t confirmed the details of the birth certificate, Korea Boo reported.
Truth behind abortion and abandoning controversy
According to some audio clippings that surfaced, when Zheng Shuang and the partner’s relationship became bitter, Shuang’s family wanted to abandon the unborn surrogate children. In two of those recordings, a conversation can be heard between Zheng Shuang and Zhang Heng’s families, where Shuang’s father expresses his wish to abandon the children while Shuang suggests the abortion.
In one such recording, Shuang’s father says, “What we’re talking about now is what we’re going to do with the children. We discussed… we don’t want them. Because of this situation, the two of them have separated, there’s nobody to raise them. Just tell the hospital, abandon them.” To which Zhang Heng’s father replies, “We can’t do that. You think it’s that simple?” and Zheng Shuang’s father responds, “No, I’m saying you can just tell them 'if possible, just abandon them…'”
Shuang’s voice is heard in another recording where she says, “We really can’t abort these babies? F*ck, it’s so annoying.” And her mother says, “Our logic is this. We consulted with the lawyer since it involves two lives and they can’t be aborted. Overseas, it’s not even at six months, but just three months old [for most places]. Some don’t let you abort. There’s still one way, the two [babies] aren’t mature yet. Since [Zheng Shuang and Zhang Heng] aren’t together, the potential harm to both parties is immense. So we’re saying, don’t keep them. The other way is to give them up for adoption. Just let them be born then give them to someone else. Then both of you will be forgotten.”
Following the heavy rumors and controversies, luxury brand Prada has cut ties with the 30-year-old actress who was a brand ambassador of the brand and put out a statement saying, “The Prada Group has terminated all cooperation with Ms Zheng Shuang.” The company didn’t reveal any reason.
