Shen Yun Faces Allegations of Abuse, Discouraged Medical Care Over Two Decades
Aug 16, 2024, 10:48 AM
Shen Yun Performing Arts, known for its international performances, is facing serious allegations of abuse and mistreatment of its performers. According to a New York Times investigation, former performers and instructors have reported a pattern of abusive behavior by Shen Yun's leaders that has persisted for nearly two decades. The investigation highlights that performers were often discouraged from seeking medical care despite injuries and were subjected to grueling schedules. The report also reveals instances of threats, manipulation, humiliation, indoctrination, and strict control over the performers, many of whom were teenagers at the time. Shen Yun has treated many of its performers as an expendable commodity and commanded their obedience.
