Kris Wu remains one of the most talked-about personalities today amid the rape and sexual assault accusations thrown at him. There were even reports claiming that the Chinese-Canadian pop star attempted suicide because he could no longer handle the predicaments he has been facing lately.
Los Angeles-Based Woman Accused Kris Wu Of Rape
On Friday, another woman stepped forward and claimed that Kris Wu drugged and raped her. The accusation came after more than 24 women in China, who all had similar stories of, allegedly, being plied with alcohol and pressured to have s*x with the former EXO member.
The new alleged victim claimed that she had gone to know of Kris Wu's infamous drinking parties where phones are confiscated. The woman shared small, white-colored pills are passed around and said she lost consciousness right before she was sexually assaulted.
The source, as reported by The Star, said she was too afraid to speak up as she did not want to be victim-shamed. The woman added she also had second thoughts in stepping forward to tell her story since she did not have enough pieces of evidence to back up her claims. She even stated that she was anxious about being accused of extorting Kris Wu.
The latest allegation against Kris Wu means that the K-pop idol could face criminal charges and civil lawsuits in the United States besides the complaints filed in China. The American law firm representing the alleged new victim also urged other women who had the same experience to come forward, especially since the former EXO member had been in Los Angeles several times in the past for a number of promotional events.
