Overseasidol.com — On September 15, Zhou Xun’s official fanclub issued a statement clarifying long-standing rumors about the actress during the filming of Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace.
They emphasized that “malicious noise should not bury the truth.”
The fan club explained that for the past two years, Zhou Xun has faced continuous online rumors that went far beyond normal criticism of an actor.
Some accused her of bullying co-stars, altering scripts, and bringing her own stylists to the set. These claims, they stated, were fabricated and harmful.
One viral claim alleged that Zhou Xun bullied actress Li Chun during filming. The fan club clarified this rumor was a distorted story borrowed from actress Shelley Duvall’s experience in The Shining and falsely attached to Zhou Xun.
In reality, Li Chun described the Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace team as one of the best experiences in her career.
She remained close with Zhou Xun during filming and even supported Zhou’s later projects.
Other cast members also praised the set as warm and harmonious.
Zhou Xun was known for her kindness, even inviting crew members to rest in her caravan and offering financial comfort when a staff member lost money.
The fan club stressed that such a person should not be defamed as a bully.
Another rumor claimed Li Chun’s mother visited the set and cried after witnessing Zhou Xun’s bullying.
The fan club dismissed this as pure fabrication, urging the public to stop spreading false narratives and to respect the actress’s reputation.
