The incident involved a female singer who was targeted with rotten eggs and drenched with water.
A viral video titled “Woman Pelted with Eggs and Water,” also known as “Xiao Xiaoru Getting Egged,” features Chinese influencer 张曼如 (Zhang Manru), who is a singer and actress known as 小小如 (Xiao Xiaoru) online. In the video, she is standing on a red carpet when an angry mob throws eggs and buckets of water at her, causing damage to her set. However, it is later revealed that the video is actually an advertisement for one of her beauty products, as Xiao Xiaoru proceeds to touch up her face using her makeup.
