A male TikToker Qiu Yao Le identified as the ex-boyfriend also revealed that he was only 16 at the time of the incident. In a lengthy Instagram post on Tuesday, he alleges that in 2016, when he was just 16 years old, Aaron Yan accepted his friend request and started messaging him privately.
Aaron Yan-do And Rakuโs Interaction
Qiu Yao Le, amazed by his idol and overjoyed at the idea of talking to him, encouraged the texts. Aaron, who was 31 then, allegedly invited the 16-year-old home during one of their exchanges on the pretence of watching Netflix, and the two allegedly had s*x there.
At the moment, Qiu Yao Le, who gave permission, placed the restriction that Aaron does not record the two throughout their interactions. Aaron agreed to the stipulation but nevertheless secretly videotaped their escapades.
As Yan reportedly gaslighted the 16-year-old, who frequently spotted the actor with other guys, Qiu Yao Le further charged that the celebrity had taken advantage of the young TikToker’s ignorance when navigating his first romance.ย
He said, “At the same time you were seeing someone, I received a call from them in the middle of the night… I don’t know how he managed to get my phone number. I’m unsure of how to handle it. I was in love with an apparently ideal version of you at the time, and I loved you so much. You referred to it as ridiculous, advised me to ignore him, and called me an idiot.”
Aaron Yan Allegedly Threatened His Ex-Boyfriend After The Recording
In 2018, Qiu Yao Le was employed in Beijing when he learned that a tape starring him and Aaron had gone viral. Qiu Yao Le wrote on Instagram that he was furious to learn that Aaron had secretly recorded them.ย
The singer reportedly made amends with the bit of TikToker after confessing his love to him.ย
The post read, “I was working in Beijing on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival in 2018 when I got a private message. You were in my viral video. At that time, I was both terribly irritated and helpless.โ
The Taiwanese actor was charged shortly after with dating three men concurrently in 2018. Qiu Yao Le, who was involved in the 2018 controversy and said the actor was seeing many guys, is accused of protecting the star for years after the claims came to light.ย
After the accusations, Aaron Yan apologised, and everything appeared to be back to normalโthat is, until Qiu Yao Le claimed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that the star had threatened him after the 2018 video fiasco.
Qiu Yao Le claimed that he promptly broke his relationship with the actor after claims that Aaron Yan was dating multiple men came to light. Aaron allegedly threatened the TikToker to stay silent regarding the footage.
Qiu Yao Le Life After The Release Of Viral Video
While Qiu Yao Le remained silent for years after the couple split out of fear of the actor’s revenge, he stated in an Instagram post on Tuesday that the tape’s release forced him to drop out of high school. He said he had to retire from public life after being the subject of tabloid rumours.
Aaron Yan, the musician, acknowledged his guilt regarding the tape and apologised in a Facebook post shortly after the Tiktoker made his accusations against him.ย
He said, “I’m willing to make the same errors over again since they define who I am and make it impossible for me to grow without them. Sorry again, I made the worst display since I didn’t control my own personal emotions effectively. As a result of my previous bad behaviour, I had to spend a lot of time seeking assistance, attending counselling sessions, and taking classes.โ
