A woman in Henan province, China, was ordered by a court to apologize to her husband after she publicly exposed his affair on Douyin. Niu Na revealed that her husband, Gao Fei, a team leader at a coal mining company, had been having an affair with a married colleague for five years, using marital assets to support her. Niu posted a sarcastic story and details about the affair, including the workplaces of Gao and his mistress. Gao subsequently sued Niu for defamation, leading the court to rule that while his actions were morally questionable, Niu had infringed on his rights by publicly shaming him. The court mandated the apology, asserting that personal moral failings do not justify infringing on the rights of others.
