The public is no stranger to wealthy male fans trying to win the hearts of female streamers.
This group often splurges excessively, spending large amounts of money to get on the list of top donors. From there, their identities will catch the attention of female streamers. Many young men also adopt this approach in hopes of dating their favorite streamers. Li Mo is one such extravagant “big shot”.
This young man, with the surname Li, believed that by continuously sending gifts, he could date the host A Wei, but he was rejected. From that moment, he no longer held onto that dream. Therefore, even though he had promised to donate 50,000 yuan (nearly 175 million VND) to support A Wei in her career and to express his admiration for the talent and efforts of the female streamer, when he found that she was not reciprocating, he decided to “default on the deal”.
The unfulfilled promise of “donating money” left the female streamer feeling frustrated.
After several requests from the female streamer for him to transfer the “gift” as promised, but with no results, she sought legal assistance to resolve the issue. Specifically, the female streamer filed a lawsuit in court, demanding that her partner fulfill his commitments or compensate for damages. The reason she presented was that this male fan not only violated an implicit contract but also caused her emotional and material losses, especially when publicizing information about that large sum of money and creating expectations within the fan community.
With evidence recorded during the stream, after reviewing the case, the court found that the female streamer had fulfilled her obligations as per the agreement, performing live shows in real time through online streaming platforms. The male viewer also gained satisfaction on a spiritual level by appreciating the host’s performance and voluntarily gifting her during the livestream, which is considered remuneration for the achievements of the female streamer.
A type of service contract was formed between the two parties, without violating any regulations or public order and morals, which is a legal and valid contract. Consequently, Mr. Li must pay the female streamer A Wei the amount of 50,000 yuan within 5 days.
This incident serves as a memorable lesson for those wealthy individuals who only make empty promises. Especially with large sums of money involved, streamers should also protect their interests and not be exploited by empty words. However, there are also many who believe that in the unpredictable and volatile livestreaming environment, the occurrence of promised donations followed by defaults is not uncommon. Therefore, both parties need to be more cautious in making financial commitments on social media platforms.
