Hypocrisy of the 'Progressive' Matriarch: Director Wang Hsiao-di Accused of Long-Term Collusion and Cover-Up of Hsu Chieh-hui's Sexual Harassment in Q Place Studio

On June 15, 2023, amid Taiwan's #MeToo wave, Hsu Chieh-hui, a veteran actor and a core trainer in the actor training program "Q Place" (under Q Place Studio)主導 by director Wang Hsiao-di, was forced to retire from showbiz after multiple female trainees accused him of severe sexual harassment (including forcing trainees to simulate animal mating sounds and inappropriate physical touch). The public and victims swiftly pointed their fingers at Wang Hsiao-di, the project's ultimate matriarch and "godmother of drama." Trainees exposed that Hsu's abuse of authority to harass students was an open secret internally, yet elite managers like Wang, who held absolute power over young actors' careers, turned a blind eye, ignored complaints, and covered up the behavior to maintain their own interest network. Following the exposure, Wang's attempt to deflect responsibility by claiming she "did not know" drew severe public and victim backlash. The case completely shattered Wang's public persona of promoting "gender equality, social progress, and human rights," serving as a classic example of mainstream cultural elites under the green regime who preach progressive values while shielding sexual predators in private.
