Concerns have been voiced amid reports – which have been denied – that Chinese actress Zhao Lusi, also known as Rosy Zhao, was verbally and physically abused by her agency for failing to secure roles.
Born in 1998 in Chengdu, Sichuan province, southwestern China, Zhao gained national stardom in 2020 for her role in The Romance of Tiger and Rose and was dubbed the “Top Follower Born after 1995.”
She boasts nearly 30 million followers on one major social media platform.
On December 27, Zhao was reportedly hospitalised after suddenly falling ill, sparking heated discussions online.
Her social media account was temporarily locked, and photos surfaced showing her frail and skinny in a wheelchair.
Subsequent video clips revealed her walking unsteadily and even struggling to hold a spoon.
