Chen Yuzhen Sues Wu Pei Over ‘Taking Off Clothes for Sex’ Remark
taiwan Lawmaker Faces Backlash After Controversial Comment About colleague’s Attire
Taipei, Taiwan – A heated political controversy has erupted in Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan after a Democratic progressive Party (DPP) lawmaker made a controversial comment about a Kuomintang (KMT) colleague’s clothing during a physical altercation.
The incident occurred on June 6th during a legislative session focused on electoral law amendments. Amidst jostling between ruling and opposition lawmakers, KMT lawmaker Chen yuzhen’s clothing was torn, exposing her sports bra. DPP lawmaker Wu pei-yi afterward remarked that chen “pulled and took off her clothes to have sex,” sparking outrage from the KMT.
Chen Yuzhen has condemned Wu’s comment as deeply insulting and has filed a lawsuit seeking NT$1.5 million (approximately US$49,000) in damages. She plans to donate any compensation received to charitable organizations promoting gender equality education.
“As a member of Congress, it is crucial to uphold the truth and refrain from making baseless accusations,” Chen stated at a press conference alongside fellow KMT lawmakers. “Wu Pei-yi’s comment was not only disrespectful but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes about women.”
The KMT has accused Wu Pei-yi of hypocrisy, pointing to her previous statements advocating for gender equality and women’s autonomy. KMT lawmakers,including Wang Hongwei,Xu Qiaoxin,and Xu Yuzhen,have rallied behind Chen Yuzhen,criticizing Wu Pei-yi’s remarks as a betrayal of those values.
In a show of solidarity, several KMT lawmakers, including Yang Zhidan and Chung Pei-jun, wore sports bras to a press conference, emphasizing women’s right to choose their attire without facing judgment or harassment.
Wu Pei-yi has defended her statement, arguing that it was a response to the chaotic situation in the Legislative Yuan and that the legal process should determine the truth.He also accused the KMT of using the incident for political gain, diverting attention from important legislative issues.
The DPP has yet to issue an official statement on the matter. Though, the incident has reignited debate about gender equality and the treatment of women in Taiwanese politics.
