A Chinese businessman is allegedly suing an Australian escort agency after he paid $3.7 million to the business to set him up for sexual experiences with famous women who never showed up. Yu ‘Martin’ Xu claims he paid the cash to Royal Court Escorts in Sydney to get between the sheets with the likes of Megan Fox, Candice Swanepoel, and Angelababy, only to be stood up every single time. Now, he’s filed a lawsuit to try and recoup some of his money he spent.
- Why would Royal Court Escorts promise such a thing? According to documents filed in New South Wales Supreme Court, as reported by the Daily Mail, Xu claims he was promised “female escorts of international standing for the provision of sexual services” in exchange for significant sums of money. The cash he paid was to cover the costs of the experiences with the famous women, which he agreed could take place anywhere in the world, along with travel and accommodation costs. “It was agreed that if (Mr Xu) paid the sum of $3.7 million (the agency) would provide Megan Fox, Candice Swanepoel and ‘Angelababy’ as escorts for sexual services,” the report continued.
- Needless to say, the women in question never turned up. Xu never met with Fox, Swanepoel, or Angelababy ever. In fact, he never met with any woman at all despite shelling out the cash. While this wouldn’t surprise the layman, who realizes that none of those women have ever had any ties to being escorts, Xu obviously thought the deal was legit.
- Xu continually paid out huge sums of cash. In addition to the $24,000 “joining fee” allegedly charged by Royal Court Escorts, he handed over another $500,000 on August 13, 2014 and another $500,000 two days later. A further two payments up to August 19 eventually totaled $2.5 million, with a final $200,000 payment transferred on August 21.
- There were actually dates set for this meeting. According to Xu, the agency agreed he would meet up with Angelababy, who’d recently appeared in Independence Day: Resurgence, in September, but she never showed up. Nor did the other two women the agency promised to provide.
- Royal Court Escorts will respond to the claim in court. Their parent company, Nalwa Holdings, agreed to defend the claim but did not immediately make a statement on the charges.
