Chinese actor and singer Tan Jianci has been thrown into the center of heated controversy online after influencer Si Xiaodi (@iamroosie) claimed to have intimate relationships with several top male celebrities, including Tan Jianci. Although his studio quickly released a statement denying the claims, netizens have continued to pore over the leaked chat logs, compiling what they describe as five “iron clues” which presumably point to the actor himself.
According to Si Xiaodi, Tan Jianci once spent the night at his residence and even left a white T-shirt. Shortly after the claim surfaced, internet users dug up public photos showing Tan Jianci wearing what appears to be the same style of white shirt, fueling further speculation.
Attention then shifted to the screenshots of private conversations allegedly involving the actor. Netizens noticed that the profile picture shown in the chat matched images previously seen in screenshots of private messages shared by Tan Jianci’s celebrity acquaintances. Plus, a heart-shaped emoji sticker with the phrase “I love you,” appeared in the conversation, it was highlighted as a potential clue. Fans recalled that Tan Jianci had once mentioned in an interview that this particular sticker was among the most frequently used ones.
Perhaps the most discussed element was the alignment of dates and locations. In a screenshot dated September 2021, the male participant mentioned being in Ningbo, coinciding with Tan Jianci posting a food video from Ningbo on Weibo during the same period. Another chat from March 2022 referenced being in Hengdian to prepare to join a new production, in line with the filming schedule of I have lost you foreverit was confirmed that a drama that Tan Jianci had started filming at that time.
These five overlapping details – clothing, profile photo, favorite emoji, location and work schedule – have led some netizens to wonder whether the allegations hold more weight than initially believed. The controversy comes at a sensitive time for Tan Jianci, whose career has been on a steady rise following the release of new music and successful acting projects.
In response, Tan Jianci’s studio issued a firm statement denying all allegations, stressing that the content in circulation contains false and misleading information. The statement also confirms that legal advisors have been instructed to gather evidence and protect the actor’s rights, urging the public not to believe or spread unverified rumors.
As the online debate continues to intensify, public opinion remains sharply divided: some call for restraint until official results emerge, while others call for clearer explanations. For now, the situation once again highlights how quickly speculation can escalate in the age of social media, especially when a celebrity’s private life becomes the subject of viral scrutiny.
