G.E.M. starts off the post with the following:
“Besides my father, you guys were once the most trusted men in my life. Unfortunately, we’ve finally come to this point.
These past years, I’ve tried adjusting my mindset during these unfair circumstances. Every time I wipe my tears, telling myself to keep the peace, try to endure it as best as I can. This includes a few months ago when I discovered the company was extremely in breach of contract, I still calmly tried to communicate with them, hoping to peacefully settle the matter. I’ve asked myself, I’ve already tried my best.”
G.E.M. continues to talk about the legal proceedings and arbitration meetings she’s had with the company to peacefully come to an agreement fo the past three months. She goes on to say that she continued to carry out previous work commitments, including a sponsorship deal that was signed without her agreement. Throughout this ordeal, G.E.M. had hoped to keep the matter private and come to a peaceful resolution. She claims that at the end of January, there was hope for a peaceful resolution, which is why she had promoted her second concert tour on Weibo. Alas, there was no resolution and claims the company “ignored the severity of the situation by continuing to announce additional shows.”
