Fred Liu, a TikTok creator and former boyfriend of Evelyn Ha, is now part of a growing public dispute that already involves serious legal charges and very different stories from both sides. The situation started after Ben Pasternak was arrested in New York on April 21, 2026, over an alleged incident on March 31 at a Manhattan hotel. He faces one count of strangulation and two counts of assault. Pasternak has pleaded not guilty and is expected in court on June 11. After his arrest, Pasternak shared a video where he denied all accusations. He said clearly, “I’m not physically aggressive in any way at all,” and described himself as “super gentle.” He then made counter-claims, saying Evelyn Ha was the one who acted aggressively during their relationship. He also said he felt controlled and cut off from friends.
Now, Fred Liu has stepped in. In a public post, he said some parts of Pasternak’s story felt similar to what he experienced in his own past relationship with Ha. His statement has added a new layer to an already serious and sensitive case. It is important to note that these are still claims and counter-claims. The case is ongoing, and no final legal decision has been made.
