Well, that was awkward.
Yao Di hyped up her appearance on Actors Please Take Your Place 3, only for her scenes to be completely wiped from the final cut.
Fans tuned in, expecting to see her, but… nothing. Zero. Nada.
Even she seemed confused, but instead of making a fuss, she simply posted, "Life must go on."
So, what happened?
Officially, no one’s talking.
But many reckon her old cheating scandal might still be haunting her.
Yao Di was once one of China’s top actresses until her affair scandal with Wen Zhang—while his wife, Ma Yili, was pregnant—blew up in 2014.
Since then, her career's been on a rocky road, despite her attempts at a comeback.
Now, here’s where things get spicy.
Male celebs caught in similar scandals—like Wen Zhang himself and Chen He—managed to return to work just fine.
Meanwhile, women like Yao Di and Li Xiaolu (who was caught with rapper PG One) are still struggling to get back in the game.
Netizens are calling out the double standards, wondering why men get a free pass while women remain blacklisted.
Sure, it could’ve been a contract issue or something behind the scenes.
But if this is about her past, then it just proves how unforgiving the entertainment industry is—especially for women.
