The Chinese female tennis star made allegations against the former Chinese premier regarding sexual assault and post that interview she was nowehre to be found for nearly a month. This sudden disappearance made the tennis world go crazy and jump into action.
Organisations such as the Olympic committee and the ATP and WTA came forward by cancelling any Chinese events now and in the future which eventually got Peng Shuai back on an interview where it wasn’t clear whether she was being forced to say those words or was she actually talking like that.
Now she has come out to deny any past allegations saying, “”Considering my age, my multiple surgeries and the pandemic that forced me to stop for so long, I believe it will be very difficult to regain my physical level,”
“I would like to know: why such concern?…I never said anyone sexually assaulted me”.
“This post has given rise to a huge misunderstanding from the outside world. I hope that the meaning of this post will no longer be distorted. And I also hope that we don’t add more hype to this.”
“never said anyone had sexually assaulted me”.
However, in her first interview she said, “带我去你家，逼我和你发生关系” ? Which could be translated to, “”You took me to your house and raped me” or “You took me to your house and forced me to have sex with you” or “You took me to your house and pressured me into having sexual relations with you”.
The ATP and WTA are yet to make a statement on anything related to the Chinese tennis star.
