| Dilraba Dilmurat Wins Defamation Case — Court Orders Public Apology and Compensation |
Chinese superstar Dilraba Dilmurat a.k.a Dilireba has officially bagged a legal victory after a long-running battle with online defamation. On 17 July, the court ruled in her favour against a netizen who’d been throwing around false accusations and using insulting language that damaged the actress’s reputation. The verdict? A public apology and a fine totalling ¥20,150 (about US$2,779).
According to court documents accessed via Qichacha App, the account in question—used to repeatedly smear Dilraba’s name—was linked to an individual named Wang, who was confirmed as the real-name registrant behind the posts. The posts had crossed the line, with many containing no factual basis and instead aiming to humiliate and defame.
Court Said: Enough's Enough
The court sided with Dilireba, stating that the offender had violated her reputation rights and caused “mental distress.” The breakdown?
-
¥20,000 for emotional damage
-
¥150 in reasonable legal expenses
-
And a mandatory public apology
But here's the kicker: Wang refused to issue the apology, so Dilraba’s team filed for mandatory enforcement—proving once again that she's not one to let things slide.

Fans of Another Actress Mock the Case – But It Might Backfire
While Dilraba was winning in court, screenshots of private conversations between fans of another actress—rumoured to be Y—started making rounds. In those chats, a few so-called "fans" openly mocked the case, with one saying:
“I’m not afraid of being sued.”
Another chimed in:
“Reputation rights aren’t worth that much anyway.”
Some even joked that as long as they didn’t mention Dilraba’s full name, they’d be safe from legal trouble.
But a few were less bold. One cautious fan warned:
“Still, better be careful.”
Unfortunately, that warning fell on deaf ears, as others kept firing shots, making light of the lawsuit, Dilraba’s legal team, and the idea of being held accountable online.

What they might not realise is this: those very posts could be used as evidence in court if things escalate. The law doesn’t play favourites, and online “jokes” can turn into real-life legal consequences fast.
Not Just a Win, But a Wake-Up Call
Dilraba’s team didn’t just win a case—they sent a clear message: freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. The internet may feel anonymous, but courts in China have made it clear that defamation laws apply just the same online.
And to those keyboard warriors who still think it’s all laughs—this case just set a pretty strong precedent. Whether it’s ¥20,000 or more, those receipts don’t lie.
TLDR:
-
Dilraba Dilmurat sued a netizen for online defamation and won
-
The offender was ordered to apologise publicly and pay ¥20,150
-
Some fans of another actress mocked the case and joked they weren’t afraid of getting sued
-
But legal experts warn: reckless online behaviour can absolutely land you in court
