On May 8th, actor Gao Yalin (高亞麟) was accused of infidelity and domestic violence, which quickly topped the trending searches. Gao Yalin, known for his role as the “good father” Xia Donghai in “Home with Kids,” <家有兒女> is now under scrutiny after actress Wei Jia (魏嘉) alleged that he had an affair during pregnancy and engaged in domestic violence.
Reporters attempted to verify these claims with Gao Yalin’s staff, but two contacted employees stated they had resigned and no longer had any contact with Gao Yalin. Another actor from the same agency as Gao Yalin refused to discuss matters related to him.
Gao Yalin married Shi Wei (時瑋), who is 11 years his junior, in 2008, and there had been no news of a divorce. However, actress Wei Jia recently exposed suspicions of Gao Yalin’s infidelity during her pregnancy, casting doubt on the relationships involved. Netizens questioned the legitimacy of Wei Jia and Gao Yalin’s relationship, to which Wei Jia responded that they did not marry because Gao Yalin cheated during her pregnancy.
Interestingly, in 2018, Wei Jia starred in the TV series “Undercover Policewoman,” <臥底警花> directed by Gao Yalin, where the producer was identified online as Gao Yalin’s wife, Shi Wei.
Currently, Gao Yalin faces public controversy over allegations of infidelity and domestic violence during pregnancy. Netizens are particularly concerned whether “Home with Kids,” in which he starred, might be pulled from broadcasting. Additionally, according to incomplete statistics, Gao Yalin still has two upcoming works: “One Step Forward,” <向前一步> starring He Bing (何冰), and “The Day of the Criminal Police,” <刑警的日子> starring Oho Ou (歐豪) and Karlina Zhang (張佳寧).
