Simu wrote: “Had a not great altercation at the end of my book event in Philly. Look, I’m trying to have a real moment with my audience. If you come to my events and harass me or make me or my fans uncomfortable, there’s no chance in hell I’m going to sign for you. Don’t cross that line.”

Liu is adamant about taking legal action against the unnamed person. Simu talked about the incident further on Instagram: “Autographing for people who will just resell it on eBay is a personal choice. Sometimes we do it, but I don’t personally like to reward certain types of behavior. Especially when the people get aggressive and invasive and make my real fans and supporters uncomfortable.”
He continued, “I’ve had a couple of bad experiences in a row where my personal space has been badly violated. Just know that if you cross that line for me or for my fans, there isn’t a chance in hell I’m ever gonna sign for you.”
The actor’s ‘Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings‘ is now available on Disney+.
