Netizens Accuse Zhang Ziyi Of Unfriending Former Magazine Editor After The Latter Left Her Job

It all started after Ziyi uploaded photos of her with Carina Lau and Chinese singers Liu Yuxin and Meng Meiqi at an event in China. It all seemed innocuous enough until keen-eyed netizens noticed that a person had been cropped out from the photos after comparing them to other images taken at the same event.

The person who they claimed was cropped out was Su Mang, which led to wild speculation on what could have happened for Ziyi to cut her friend out of her pics.

The most popular theory by far was that Ziyi no longer sees Su Mang as "useful" to her since the latter is no longer in a position of power.

“This shows how realistic showbiz is. You’re discarded the minute you’re no longer relevant to a celeb," wrote one netizen.

What they didn't consider were other the possibilities such as Su Mang and Ziyi not being in the same frame at the same time when those pictures were taken — it's not hard to imagine the both of them flitting from group to group at the event — or if Ziyi just didn't have a snap of them together that she felt was Weibo-worthy.
