9月12日晚上，著名造型师易茗在北京被两名陌生男子殴打，伤势不轻。有媒体怀疑易茗挨打事件与他和赵薇的绯闻有关，但易茗本人却极力为赵薇辩护，认为在他眼里她单纯又简单，不可能做这样的事情。

Celebrated Chinese stylist Yi Ming, who was severely beaten up by two men on Sunday night (Sept. 12), said the incident had nothing to do with the popular film star Vicki Zhao.

The stylist made his first comments on the event Tuesday after three days of silence.

Yi Ming, who recently worked with Vicki Zhao in the film Jade Goddess, was rumoured to be the boyfriend of the "Warriors of Heaven and Earth" heroine recently.

Zhao Wei's manager Chen Rong accepted an interview and stated that Vicki sympathized with Yi Ming, but doesn't need to be involved in the aftermath of the event.

The star is currently busy preparing to film a music video for her new album. Afterwards, she plans to start working on film projects.
