'Singer Jvcki Wai alleged she suffered dating violence from music producer and ex-lover Vangdale, and with both sides' claims clashing the dispute over the truth is spreading. Agency AOMG has moved to respond through legal procedures.
On the 12th Jvcki Wai posted on her personal social media claiming she was assaulted by her ex-lover and released photos showing bruises on her face and body. She said, "I couldn't go outside for two weeks," and "He knocked on the door and entered the password to keep me from leaving," expressing extreme fear and pain. She added, "To break up completely this was the only way. After I posted it, he hasn't contacted me," and explained she had no choice but to expose it for a safe breakup.
Jvcki Wai also released an email and voice messages presumed to be from the person she accused of assault. Afterwards Vangdale posted on social media appealing his innocence and posted a rebuttal, identifying him as the party involved in the exposure.
In response Vangdale denied the dating violence allegations outright, saying, "You are portraying this as photos of injuries from trying to stop me from making a scene." But on the 14th Jvcki Wai posted again, saying, "I admit slapping him, but I was the victim of most of the assaults and verbal abuse." She claimed there was confinement and threats with a weapon, and said she had informed Vangdale's former agency of the harm in the past and received an apology yet regretted continuing the relationship.
Jvcki Wai said, "After being confined, all I could think was 'how do I break up,'" and "I didn't care if I couldn't make music or if my image was harmed. I just wanted to live and to break up," she lamented. Those posts have all been deleted.
As the controversy spread, AOMG released an official statement on the 15th. AOMG said, "Jvcki Wai shared with the company that she was a victim of dating violence that occurred during the relationship, and the matter is currently being handled in accordance with legal procedures." It added, "We are prioritizing the artist's physical and mental safety and recovery and are providing all necessary support, including legal counsel."
However, AOMG said, "This matter is currently under review in the judiciary process," and "We will refrain from further comment on specific details that could affect the investigation and legal judgment." It also urged restraint, saying, "The spread of baseless speculation or unverified information and actions that could lead to secondary harm can cause further wounds to the artist."
Jvcki Wai and Vangdale worked together on Jvcki Wai's full-length album "Fall" released in July, with Vangdale producing all the tracks. Earlier in February they released the collaboration single "Spoil U." Jvcki Wai made her official debut with the 2016 EP "EXPOSURE" and is currently signed to AOMG. Vangdale is a producer with KC, founded by rapper Sik-K.
Some netizens who saw the exposure reacted, "Regardless of whether it's true, it looks very dangerous," "If it's true isn't this an obvious SOS signal?", "I don't know the full circumstances, but above all I hope she's safe," expressing concern for Jvcki Wai's personal safety. With both sides' claims sharply clashing, the matter is expected to be clarified through investigation and legal judgment.
