The Chinese actress Zhao Lusi shocked the fans after publicly accused her management company, the culture of the galaxy, for serious mistreatment, financial exploitation and emotional abuses.
In a personal post shared on August 2, Zhao Lusi revealed the extent of his current dispute with the agency, making news throughout China and unleashing discussions on online.
“You don’t need to forbid me. I’m not doing it anymore,” Zhao Lusi wrote, facing his agency directly.
Contractual dispute and accusations against the culture of the galaxy
Zhao Lusi revealed that two years ago, he unconsciously signed an extension of the contract with the culture of the galaxy, linking it to another four years under their control. Since then, he says that the company has subjected it to manipulation and threats. When he suffered from a serious and unexpected disease, he had to resize the work commitments and cancel the approval agreements. Although the agency initially began to share responsibility, Zhao Lusi said he was ultimately forced to pay all the penalties.
Worse still, the actress said that her personal study was diverted by the company and that her whole team has been replaced. He said that Galaxy Culture has misleading 2.05 million yuan (~ $ 280,000 USD) from its assets. His shooting projects were closed and the financial burden fell exclusively on his shoulders.
“They told me that I could be inserted in the black list and to remain silent. It is their solution? I suggested ending the contract and gave excuses on the problems of the personal family. I have already lapsed inside. I have lost my dignity, but I will not leave me Blacklist, I will stop” Zhao Lusi showed off in his post.
Lotte for health and public backlash
Zhao Lusi also shared two medical relationships that confirm that it suffers from mild anxiety and depression, deriving from overload and prolonged stress. His declaration has hinted that he regretted not having reported his previous agency to the police previously, which could have prevented his current situation.
According to Sina, the controversy has aroused enormous attention online, generating over 200 million views on related topics. The health problems of Zhao Lusi emerged for the first time at the end of 2024 when he experienced the loss of words and mobility, forcing it to stop the filming and cancel public appearances. Medical experts mentioned neurological damage deriving from chronic stress and depression.
Although fans initially showed sympathy, the public feeling later moved. Zhao Lusi has often published emotional stories and images of herself, which some Netizen have perceived as an attempt to obtain pity. These actions led to contrasting reactions and damaged its public image.
Risk for career and future projects
Currently, Zhao Lusi has no imminent dramas. While still participating in events and appears in variety shows, he has refused new acting roles, citing his inability to store the scripts. This has raised red flags among investors, since Zhao Lusi is now seen as a high risk artist who could endanger the production plans if his health deteriorates again.
Despite his recent problems, Zhao Lusi has built a faithful base of fans through successful dramas such as Tiger and Rose’s romanticism, Loves like the galaxy, Hidden love.
It is also known for the commitment of the pioneering direct fans through the Livestreames on Xiaohonghu, where it often shares beauty suggestions, fashion advice and lifestyle inspiration, traits that once made her a figure loved in Chinese entertainment.
