Do you still remember the Han Lei cheating scandal that made a lot of noise? I thought that Han Lei's lawsuit against the netizen who broke the news would be the finale. Who would have thought that after 8 months, there would be a follow-up.
In March 2026, the female netizen who originally broke the news about Han Lei's cheating posted again, denying that she was accused, claiming that she had never received a court summons or a police call, and that Han Lei was just bluffing. He was afraid that she would continue to speak out, and her Weibo complaints were removed many times.
According to netizens who broke the news, if Han Lei wanted to sue her, he would have to prove that he had not taken her phone and that her privacy had not been leaked. She wanted to continue to break the news, but she kept being "covered", so she could not speak out.
In addition to Han Lei, the female netizen who broke the news also targeted Han Lei's wife, claiming that Han Lei's wife warned her not to try to confront the celebrity. The female netizen who broke the news was ready to give up. As a result, she was privately insulted by the other party, harassed by various reports, and suffered continuous online violence.
However, the female netizen who broke the news still did not provide much effective evidence. She revealed that Han Lei's wife relied on Han Lei to make a living and could not get a divorce. She revealed that Han Lei's wife faked an account to attack her mother. She revealed that Han Lei had high blood pressure, diabetes, foreign debts and mortgages. She once again emphasized that Han Lei had evaded taxes and said that Han Lei was behind everything he was going through.
——The above are all text-based revelations. The only thing that can barely be called "hammer" is the suspected chat record with Han Lei. There is no way to verify the statement of the female netizen who broke the news. At most, it can prove that the two know each other.
In fact, in August 2025, when the female netizen who broke the news spoke out for the first time, the entire controversy experienced multiple reversals.
The turmoil itself is not complicated. It originated when a female netizen posted private photos and videos of Han Lei, accusing her of getting her pregnant. After abandoning her, she took away her cell phone to avoid being exposed because the cell phone contained photos and voices of the female netizen’s deceased mother. The female netizen’s pleas failed, and her whole body collapsed emotionally.
At the same time, netizens found out that Han Lei's wife was suspected of asking for help from an emotional anchor. She mentioned that her husband had cheated on her many times, evaded taxes, and gave a lot of money to the cheating partner. The details were consistent with the female netizen's revelations. The turmoil escalated step by step, attracting public attention.
Han Lei's comment section was flooded, and he himself did not respond. The long silence caused further questions from netizens – of course, Han Lei and his wife eventually responded.
Han Lei Studio forwarded the law firm's statement, emphasizing that it had fully collected evidence on the relevant infringing content and entrusted the law firm to initiate legal proceedings. It also revealed that Han Lei had already called the police.
At the same time, Han Lei's wife issued an article to refute the rumors, denying that she was connected to the emotional anchor, saying that the relevant content was forged by them maliciously pretending to be her own identity.
Faced with the clarifications from Han Lei and Han Lei's wife, the female netizen who broke the news quickly apologized, admitting that her revelations were inconsistent with the facts and that the relevant videos and chat records were obtained from informal channels.
Immediately afterwards, another insider came forward to speak out, revealing that Han Lei did not accept the apology from the female netizen who broke the news.
Because of his involvement in the cheating scandal, Han Lei's performances have been affected, and the monetary loss alone may be as high as more than 2 million yuan. Lawyers have suggested that Han Lei file a criminal lawsuit against the female netizen who broke the news.
Looking back at Han Lei's cheating scandal, I found that Han Lei and his wife did everything they could.
After the turmoil, Han Lei participated in platform activities, released new songs, sang theme songs for movies, and recorded Beijing Satellite TV's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and New Year's Eve Party, and his life gradually got back on track.
As a result, after 8 months, the female netizen who broke the news appeared again. She deleted her apology and denied being sued. I don’t know if it will affect Han Lei again. Once online rumors are involved, it is not easy for either party to defend their rights. I hope that every whistleblower and insider can come up with solid evidence in the future.
