“I have never said or written that anyone has sexually assaulted me,” Peng Shuai said on Sunday
Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai said Sunday that she has never accused anyone of sexual assault, adding that a social media post she wrote last month was misunderstood. “First, I need to stress one point that is extremely important, I have never said or written that anyone has sexually assaulted me, I have to clearly stress this point,” Peng said in a video posted Sunday by Lianhe Zaobao, a Singapore media outlet ( via Reuters). When pressed further about the social media post that has since been deleted, she said “there are a lot of misunderstanding[s], so there’s nothing to say… about this interpretation and distortion.” Peng was attending a cross-country skiing exhibition in Shanghai as part of the run-up to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
