  Contract dispute with Ju Jingyi escalates; real-name report alleges tax evasion

  Siba claims that its management contract with Ju Jingyi was extended to 2033 under a 2018 supplementary agreement; Ju's side says the contract was terminated in 2024, and two court handwriting authentications were unable to determine whether the signature was authentic. Siba filed a real-name report accusing Ju Jingyi of tax evasion (a Shanghai tax review found no problems), and sued Ju Jingyi and the producers of her new drama for unfair competition. Litigation is ongoing.
