It was the number one trending topic on Sina Weibo on Monday, September 10; Weibo celebrity Saya attacking a pregnant woman during a confrontation over her dog, that was not leashed.
The incident came to light when a pregnant woman nicknamed Ci Ytt (@刺Ytt) took her story to social media.
On September 10, the story attracted nationwide attention when Chinese billionaire and famous social media persona Wang Sicong (@王思聪), who has more than 27 millions fans on Weibo, condemned internet star Saya on his social media account.
According to Ci Ytt’s post, the incident happened in Hangzhou on September 7 in front of a local hotel. The woman, 32+ weeks pregnant, was walking her leashed dog together with her husband when an unleashed bulldog suddenly charged towards her.
Protecting his wife, the husband reportedly kicked the dog, which led to an altercation with the bulldog’s owner. The pregnant woman later identified the dog’s owner as the popular Weib celebrity Saya (@Saya一).
The confrontation turned violent, with Saya and her mother, who was also there, attacking the couple. In doing so, they allegedly grabbed the pregnant woman by the hair and violently pushed her in the stomach.
Neighborhood guards soon stepped in to stop the confrontation and the pregnant woman was rushed to the hospital, where she was told she might go into preterm labor.
