Chinese actress Zhao Lusi is facing serious allegations of physical and mental abuse by her management company. Reports surfaced detailing an incident in 2019 where Zhao allegedly endured a two-hour verbal attack on her talent, appearance, and weight, followed by physical violence from a reportedly intoxicated individual. Despite the trauma, the individual in question never issued an apology.

On 27 December, Zhao’s management team announced that she had experienced health problems a few days prior and had been taken to the hospital for examination and treatment, following her doctor’s instructions. The team also stated that the actress would pause all work-related activities to focus on recovering her health.

Zhao, reportedly constrained by her contract, chose not to pursue legal action out of fear of retaliation. Recent photographs showing Zhao in a wheelchair have further sparked public concern about her physical and emotional health. Fans and netizens are rallying in support of Zhao, calling for greater protection and justice for artists in similar circumstances.

Amid the controversy, fans have expressed their outrage, trending the hashtag "Truth For Zhao Lusi" on social media platform X as they demand clarity from her production company, which has remained silent about her condition.

Speculation has emerged that Zhao is suffering from severe mental or neurological distress, potentially caused by intense work pressure. Fans have called for transparency from her management, criticizing the lack of updates on her condition and expressing concern for her well-being.

Zhao’s Recovery

According to CQ News, as reported by Znews, a friend of Zhao Lusi shared that the actress has been diligently adhering to her doctors' prescribed treatment plan since being hospitalized.

"She asked me to tell everyone that she is safe and hopes everyone can be reassured," the friend said. "She is slowly starting to speak and has begun physical rehabilitation."

According to conversations between Zhao and her friend, the actress is suffering from aphasia. Zhao has been actively cooperating with the treatment at the hospital and plans to undergo long-term treatment as advised by her doctors.

Previously, an entertainment blogger revealed that Zhao had faced many difficulties and pressures during the ongoing filming of Almost Lover. Despite health issues, she continued filming until she fainted and was rushed to the hospital. The crew’s decision to have her working amid health conditions has angered fans.

Zhao, 26, began her acting career in 2017 and has been featured in popular series such as The Romance of Tiger and Rose, Dating in the Kitchen, Love Better Than Immorality, Love Like the Galaxy, and Hidden Love.

Supporters continue to rally online, advocating for better treatment and accountability within the entertainment industry. The incident has raised broader discussions about the pressures faced by actors in demanding environments.
