Hidden Love actor Zhao Lusi accuses her agency of financial abuse, threats and abandonment amid health struggles

Actor and singer Zhao Lusi, who rose to fame for her role in Hidden Love, has been entangled in a public feud with her management agency, Galaxy Cool Entertainment. She has recently accused her agency of financial abuse.

Zhao took to the Chinese social media platform Weibo and accused her agency of withdrawing 2.05 million yuan (approximately Rs 2.5 crore) from her personal studio's account without authorisation.

The actress further claimed that the agency agreed to cover the losses from the cancelled endorsements during 2024, but they backed out, leaving her to bear financial responsibilities alone. At the time, she was undergoing treatment for multiple health issues and depression.
However, Zhao continued the allegation and claimed that she is currently in a dispute with the agency regarding the control over her career and failed negotiations to terminate her contract.

The actress was also reportedly warned against going public. Additionally, she claimed that she had received threats that she could be blacklisted from the entertainment industry if she sought legal action.

Zhao then encouraged her fellow artists to come forward and report their experiences to the police and wrote in Chinese, “You don’t need to blacklist me, I quit.”
