On the afternoon of January 1, actress Trieu Lo Tu reopened her social media account and spoke out for the first time after announcing a temporary hiatus from the entertainment industry due to health issues.
Trieu Lo Tu confessed that she had shown signs of depression since 2019, and confirmed that it was true that she was beaten and scolded by her former boss that year.
By 2021, her condition became more severe, forcing the actress to undergo psychological therapy. And by December 2024, Trieu Lo Tu had truly collapsed due to many health problems, work pressure, negative public opinion...
On the evening of January 1, Trieu Lo Tu's management company - Ngan Ha Khoc Ngu (Galaxy Cool Entertainment) - also gave a response.
The company affirmed: “We always steadfastly accompany Trieu Lo Tu when facing difficulties, actively solving arising problems. We sincerely accept all constructive feedback from all parties, seriously self-examine the shortcomings in our work and send our deep apologies.”
The company added that they always put Zhao Lusi's physical and mental health first. Zhao Lusi and the company have no disagreements in work plans, and have always reached consensus to arrange reasonable schedules. At the same time, the company is resolutely intolerant of fabricated and malicious acts of defamation against the artist.
However, this announcement was immediately met with backlash from Zhao Lusi's fans. Fans said that the company was just denying responsibility and not responding clearly to the incident in 2019 when Zhao Lusi was beaten by her former boss.
Not to mention, the company said that they always put Trieu Lo Tu's health first, but arranged a tight schedule that made her increasingly exhausted. The company even covered up the fact that Trieu Lo Tu was hospitalized for a stroke while filming "Lover" recently.
In the previous announcement, the company said that on December 18, 2024, Trieu Lo Tu felt unwell and went to the hospital for examination and treatment. But in reality, since December 14, Trieu Lo Tu had to use oxygen and use a wheelchair because she could not walk. Meanwhile, the company still arranged a continuous filming schedule for her from December 15 to 18, 2024.
On December 18, when Lu Tu fainted and had to go to the emergency room, the company still notified fans to register to attend the meeting event on January 5, 2025.
When everything was revealed on December 27, the company locked Trieu Lo Tu's Weibo account and only issued a vague announcement regarding the artist's temporary suspension of activities.
Since then, Trieu Lo Tu had to reveal her health condition through her close friends. During this time, there were also negative reports that the actress was “playing the victim”, “complaining to seek sympathy”. But the management company did not correct or handle it.
It was not until Trieu Lo Tu officially spoke up to tell everything that the company posted an article, but with an attitude of denying responsibility for what the actress had to endure.
Trieu Lo Tu signed a contract with Ngan Ha Khoc Ngu in 2016, a 10-year contract. Her fans hope she will soon terminate the contract to find a new, better destination.
