Hsu, who is married, sparked public speculation after local media reported about a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday saying that he had long had affairs with the staff of his company’s suppliers.
The post included information regarding the alleged affairs, time and place of dates and other details.
“I cannot continue my current marriage... We have too many differences in personal values and cannot agree on a lot of things, but I still have to play the ‘good husband,’ while letting the family spend money extravagantly and it is getting increasingly more painful,” it said.
“For many years, I have had messy relationships with female sales representatives of the company’s suppliers and contractors, for sexual trysts...” it said. “I took advantage, that they had to come to me for meeting, so I took them out for dinner, then got a room at a love hotel... These are still going on.”
“I have cheated on many people and have had affairs at the same time, and it is wrong,” it said. “I would like to apologize to my company, for taking advantage of my position.”
