Public fury as bodyguard of China celebrity demands lift be vacated for her exclusive use
- Infuriated social media sleuths eventually identify China star whose minder was filmed yelling at people in airport lift
The rude behaviour of a minder employed by a celebrity in China has infuriated people on the mainland and made them ask: “Who does she think she is?”
Video footage that went viral on mainland social media shows the star being escorted by a group of bodyguards as she tries to get into a lift full of passengers at Qingdao Airport, in eastern China’s Shandong province, on June 10.
When the lift stops at the first floor, where the famous female is waiting, a bodyguard shouts at passengers who are going to the fourth floor to “get out”.
The person who posted the video on the social media platform Xiaohongshu, said the people in the lift refused, and asked the celebrity: “Who do you think you are?”
The star lowered her head to hide her face after realising her bodyguard had overstepped the mark. She then moved to an empty lift.
While the post did not identify the celebrity but speculation became rife on social media. Among the names being bandied about were Wu Xuanyi or Cheng Xiao.
