In early 2025, Chinese showbiz was continuously hit by many shocking scandals, partly revealing the dark side of the entertainment industry in the country of a billion people.

Trieu Lo Tu was assaulted by her former boss.

After photos of Trieu Lo Tu in a wheelchair hospitalized appeared on social media, fans were shocked when Lo Tu's close friend revealed that she was assaulted by her former boss in 2019.

According to this person, in April 2019, Trieu Lo Tu auditioned in Beijing but kept missing out on roles. Afterwards, the actress was dragged into the bathroom by her boss and scolded for 2 hours. When she was about to leave, she was chased and physically abused. Trieu Lo Tu did not return home until nearly dawn.

The next day, this person called her and apologized "for getting drunk" to get over the matter. This was the incident that started Trieu Lo Tu's depression.

On the first day of the new year, the actress posted an article confirming that she was beaten by her former boss around 2019. However, because she was afraid of having to pay compensation for her contract, she did not dare tell her parents.

In 2021, when she gradually became famous, Trieu Lo Tu accepted to pay a huge "breakup fee" to leave but was still caught up in a series of bad rumors spread by her old company.

Ly Minh Duc retires, "exposing" the whole showbiz

On January 4, Ly Minh Duc suddenly posted a series of articles related to being oppressed by the film crew of "Tam Nhan Hanh".

The actor affirmed that the male lead role originally belonged to him, but in the end the director gave it to Ma Thien Vu.

Ly Minh Duc indirectly accused this senior of having star disease, not attending the script reading, making his co-star wait 40 minutes in -17 degree weather. In the end, Ma Thien Vu took advantage of his close relationship with the director to remove Ly Minh Duc from the film crew for fear of being "stolen from the spotlight".

In addition, the actor revealed that his contract with Hoa Tung Company was unilaterally terminated. Ly Minh Duc accused the company of demanding a large share of his acting fees, even though he had won the role himself before joining the company.

The actor said he was humiliated and disrespected while working at his old company: "They trained me like they trained a dog, I really couldn't stand it."

Meanwhile, the crew of "Tam Nhan Hanh" confirmed that they stopped working with Ly Minh Duc because he repeatedly violated the terms of the contract: not participating in the audition and script reading, leaving the crew without permission, losing contact causing delays in filming progress, and vandalizing hotel property...

Currently, many fans are on Ly Minh Duc's side and suspect that the film crew and male lead Ma Thien Vu are lying. Ly Minh Duc announced that he might retire but will file a lawsuit against the producers of "Tam Nhan Hanh", determined to regain justice for himself.

Luhan banned from following on social media

On January 6, fans were surprised to discover that Luhan's accounts on all platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, Xiao Hong Shu... were all banned from following.

Shortly after, through his studio account, Luhan apologized to fans for some inappropriate behavior on the previous live stream. This is also the reason why all of his social media accounts were banned from following.

According to fans' speculation, the male singer was punished for raising his middle finger during a live broadcast in late November 2024. However, because this incident happened a long time ago, many people wonder why the case is only being handled now.
