Zax Wang and wife in maid trouble
The ex-5566 boyband member and his wife Ji Qin are suspected of exploiting their maid.
</cite>Celebrity couple Zax Wang and Ji Qin was suspected to be overusing their foreign maid earlier in June. According to rulings in Taiwan, a foreign maid can only take care of one stipulated person; if the maid is found to be used by other family members, it will be considered a violation of the law.
In Zax and Ji Qin's case, reports claim that the family had been using their personal maid to do chores for the whole family. Checks done by authorities later revealed that the family did not even hire a maid in the first place. Last week, Ji Qin was seen with daughter and son in tow at a restaurant in Taipei. Ji Qin's friend and a foreign maid were also present.
The paparazzi caught sight of the maid's face and found her to be the very same maid who was said to be involved in the previous incident in June. When the entourage discovered reporters lurking around, Ji Qin's friend immediately left the restaurant with the maid. When reporters questioned the friend about the maid's identity, she told reporters that it was she who hired the maid.
Ji Qin later explained that her friend left due to personal matters and not because they were trying to hide something. When asked if the maid was the same person as the one they hired before, Ji Qin reiterated her stand that they have never hired a maid before. Zax, however, gave a different story. He told reporters that the maid was actually his in-laws' and that Ji Qin brought her out since his in-laws did not want to tag along.
This was in obvious conflict with what Ji Qin and her friend said and Zax explained that Ji Qin was confused. "With the children around and the messy situation, our friend told you that to save us trouble and Ji Qin followed suit. I know what happened but perhaps they should have explained the situation clearly."
