TAIPEI: Taiwanese superstar Jay Chou spoke out against the recent rash of rumours about him at an event to promote his science-fiction action drama "Pandamen" event on Saturday.
This was the first he had spoken to the media and his fans at length since wrapping up his television directorial debut in "Pandamen".
Chou called Taiwanese rapper Dog G, who wrote a song that allegedly insulted his manliness, "scum of society" and called upon close friend Devon Song to continue scolding Dog G as Chou "[did] not want to dignify Dog G by rebuking him personally".
Chou, 31, also addressed singer Devin Wu's admission on popular Taiwanese television talk show "KangXi Arrives" that she gave her virginity to him when she was just 16.
"Has she gone crazy?" said an exasperated Chou.
Chou claims that he only sent Wu, who was a label-mate at the time, home on a few occasions but never dated her. He believes that she only made the statement for the sake of the programme, on the behest of the show's producers.
He went on to quash rumours that he and old flame Jolin Tsai were planning to get back together after the pair was seen bowling in January this year. The singer lamented that he was in a no-win situation: If he did not contact Tsai, the rumour mill would say they were on bad terms. If he did, people would say they are back together.
Chou even responded to rumours that his friend Zhan Yuhao stole his alleged girlfriend Jessie Chiang and said that Zhan is closer to Chiang than he was in the first place.
"If the rumours were true, Yuhao would not be seated here today," reasoned Chou.
The past few months have not been kind to Chou. "Pandamen" failed to impress television audiences while a spate of rumours about him put him in the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
