The mystery surrounding the sudden death of Chinese actor Yu Menglong, also known as Alan Yu, continues to grip audiences weeks after his tragic passing on Sept. 11. Now, British psychic Ty William, who previously claimed to have communicated with Yu’s spirit in the afterlife, has reignited debate with a new reading — one that targets actress Song Yiren and her family with dire predictions of bankruptcy, imprisonment, and even death.
During an Oct. 20 livestream, William told followers that Yu’s death “may have been connected to his rejection of Song Yiren,” warning that the actress would soon face “financial collapse, legal punishment, and perhaps her own death.” She claimed Song had invoked a “generational curse,” saying, “When you kill a pure soul — an angel of the earth — you curse your entire bloodline.”
While cautioning viewers to “take this as entertainment only,” William’s remarks have since gone viral across Chinese social media.
Industry allegations, troubling visions
In her broadcast, William alleged that Song once sought to marry Yu, but the latter refused. She further described the actress as “abusive” on set, saying, “I sense her pinching people, pulling their hair, treating them roughly.” William suggested that hints of such behavior could be visible in behind-the-scenes footage.

Portraying Song as a “queen bee” whose reputation has imploded within the industry, she claimed directors have quietly stopped working with her. Using tarot cards during the session, William predicted that Song’s career would collapse: “Unless she loses everything within a few years, she might share Yu’s tragic fate.”
William also hinted that one of Song’s fans “knows something about her past — maybe even holds a video proving she isn’t who she seems [to be.]”

‘The curse of the cards’
William then drew what she called a “bankruptcy card” and told her audience that Song’s dramas would likely be canceled, her allies would betray her, and her fans would abandon her. “You can run, but you can’t hide,” she warned, adding, “You’re like the Gingerbread Man — thinking you can escape, but the fox will eat you in the end.”
William alleged that Song had “lost her protection” and was now “relying on black magic.” She further claimed that karmic punishment would soon strike her family, and predicted that the death of “a parent or a brother” would take place in the near future.
The psychic also accused Song of “blackmailing” other celebrities across China, Taiwan, and South Korea by forcing them to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). “She threatens stars,” William claimed, noting that some had resorted to a form of “quiet protest” by unfollowing her online or urging studios not to cast her.
William speculated that Song may currently be hiding “in Japan, France, or Malaysia” and that she and her manager “could soon face investigation.” She even suggested that “agencies in Canada, Taiwan, the CIA, and FBI” might take notice — though none of these claims have been independently verified.
‘There will be another Yu Menglong if we stop fighting’
In her Oct. 15 livestream, William noted, “Those elites — the ones with power and status — they don’t just control YouTube; they control our governments. We’re living in the most terrifying times. These people have immense power, and they’re trying to silence me. But I will not be silenced.”
William compared her situation to those advocating for justice for Yu, such as independent commentators Li Muyang, Da Yu, and smaller YouTubers like herself who have faced death threats for calling out China’s systematic cover-up of Yu’s death. “When you speak out for justice, you strike a nerve,” she said, adding, “But conscience is stronger than fear. If we stop fighting for Yu Menglong, there will be another Yu Menglong — maybe a woman, maybe a child next time.”
During the livestream, William’s followers flooded the chat, hailing her as “a messenger of light” and praising her for “speaking for the dead.” Others expressed concern for her safety, claiming she could be be “spiritually attacked” or even cursed for confronting “powerful people.”
‘A month of karmic reckoning’
William also warned that October would be “a month of karmic reckoning.” On Oct. 15, she declared that “the battle between good and evil has begun,” and by Oct. 17, she predicted that November would bring natural disasters as part of a “cleansing.” Despite lacking scientific backing, her livestreams have drawn tens of thousands of Chinese-speaking viewers from all over the globe.
Following Yu Menglong’s death, which Chinese authorities quickly dismissed as a tragic accident stemming from a night of heavy drinking, skepticism spread rapidly online, even amid China’s strict online censors. Viewers began targeting companies and personalities linked to Yu’s career — most notably “Tianyu Media” and its parent company “Mango Super Media.”
According to “Sina Finance,” Mango’s market value plunged by a staggering 12.6 billion yuan in mid-October, reflecting eroding investor confidence. On Chinese social media, users celebrated the drop:
- “Mango’s crashing — the boycott works!”
- “Justice is coming fast!”
- “One man’s fall toppled an empire.”
Meanwhile, the Bvlgari Hotel Beijing, named in earlier conspiracy claims, became a target of ridicule by netizens. Its online rating fell from five stars to 1.9, with a flood of sarcastic reviews reading:
- “A hotel where you go in standing and come out lying flat.”
- “This hotel even offers morgue services.”
Song Yiren became the chief target of public anger. The hashtag #RefuseToWatchSongYirenShows trended across multiple social media platforms, and rumors circulated that she had been replaced in the upcoming drama “Not You, Not the Clouds.”
Protests growing worldwide
Meanwhile, wide-scale protests have also moved offline. Videos posted on the YouTube channel “Financial Cold Eye” showed large crowds chanting “Shut it down!” outside Tianyu Media’s offices. On Oct. 8, a massive LED screen at Jiangsu’s Wuyue Plaza displayed Yu Menglong’s image with the words “I Am Yu Menglong.” Similar scenes were reportedly seen in multiple cities across China and beyond.
International media outlets including “BBC,” “Foreign Policy,” “The Straits Times,” and Taiwan’s “CNA” have covered the controversy, while supporters in Los Angeles were seen holding vigils on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Similarly, in New York’s Times Square, large digital billboards began displaying tributes to Yu Menglong by playing silent images of the actor every hour.
An Avaaz petition titled “Justice for Yu Menglong” has now surpassed 540,000 signatures and keeps growing by thousands everyday.
