The Financial Exploitation Allegations
Zhao Lusi’s alleged charges against her agency, Galaxy Kuyu Media, have sparked widespread support online under the hashtag #JusticeForZhaoLusi. In a bombshell Weibo post, she claimed that after extending her contract in 2023 for another four years, the agency deliberately delayed her attempt to exit when she sought to leave.
| Zhao Lusi vs Galaxy Kuyu Media | Details |
|---|---|
| Contract Extension | 2023 (4-year term) |
| Financial Loss | ¥2.05 million already paid |
| Health Issues | Severe anxiety and depression |
| Medical Documentation | July 16, 2025 |
| Agency Control | Operational rights to her studio |
| Social Media Response | #JusticeForZhaoLusi trending |
Broken Promises and Financial Burden
She revealed that Galaxy Kuyu (KY) had promised to handle the losses tied to her sudden health issues. However, she ended up paying out of pocket. Zhao stated she had already transferred ¥2.05 million, and the agency may still demand additional sums. The actress added that KY continues to hold operational rights to her studio.
Following the abrupt halt of one of her drama shoots, the agency reportedly didn’t settle the debts, leaving Zhao to absorb the financial impact. This financial exploitation has become a central point in the ongoing controversy.
Intimidation and Blacklisting Threats
When she attempted to speak out about these issues, Zhao claimed Galaxy Kuyu told her to stay silent, warning she might be excluded from future industry work. Despite these threats, she chose to speak anyway, writing: “My inner core is rotten, and I’m not dignified but I don’t need you to blacklist me. I’m done.”
This brave statement has resonated with fans who view it as a powerful stand against industry exploitation and intimidation tactics.

“So proud of her for speaking up for herself. It can’t be easy in the C-Ent industry. #JusticeForZhaoLusi,” commented one X user.

Past Abuse Allegations Resurface
In January 2025, earlier reports surfaced linking Zhao Lusi to alleged mistreatment by her agency, including claims of verbal and physical abuse. On January 1, Zhao returned to social media and disclosed past trauma, writing:
“Since childhood, I have been called useless and labeled a ‘pretty vase’. When I grew up, I was beaten again. Back then, I thought failing auditions was my fault, so I kept quiet and just wanted to escape.”
Industry Impact and Fan Mobilization
Admirers keep expressing support for the Hidden Love star, advocating for justice and her right to defend herself. The movement has transcended typical fan support, becoming a broader discussion about artist rights in the Chinese entertainment industry.
“She knows she is not just standing up for herself but for every voice silenced by manipulation and injustice of C Ent,” one fan noted, highlighting the broader implications of her stand.
Future Projects and Career Uncertainty
Despite the ongoing controversy, Zhao Lusi has several upcoming dramas in the pipeline, such as The Last Immortal, Love’s Ambition, and Be Myself. However, the resolution of her legal and contractual disputes with Galaxy Kuyu Media will likely impact these projects’ timelines and her career trajectory.
The actress’s courage in speaking out despite potential industry blacklisting has earned her respect beyond her fanbase, positioning her as a voice for artist rights in an industry often criticized for exploitative practices.
