All you need to know about the recent workplace abuse exposé surrounding Zhao Lusi

On Tuesday, an alleged friend of Zhao Lusi posted an exposé about the workplace abuse that the actress has been experiencing at her agency since 2019. The friend is rumored to be a former actress and Zhao Lusi's co-star in the C-drama series, Oh My Emperor, Song Nanxi.

In the exposé, she talked about an incident from 2019 when the actress had to stay at her friend's place in Beijing while auditioning for a few roles. The friend said:

"One night, I came home, turned on the light, and found her curled up in the living room in the dark. I asked her what was wrong, and she said, “I don’t know why they hit me. I’m really scared.” I was shocked. “Why? There has to be a reason, right?”

She continued:

"She told me about someone who had dragged her into the bathroom and berated her for two hours, saying things like how useless she was, why she couldn’t land a role, and how she should reflect on why she hadn’t been cast as a lead actress before. They criticized her weight and said she wasn’t as good as others, just constantly putting her down."

The friend then added:

"This went on until 2 AM. Finally, because Lusi stayed silent, that person slammed the door and left. Lusi, feeling aggrieved, grabbed her bag and opened the door to leave. It was drizzling outside. That person chased after her, seemingly trying to grab her. We’re not sure whether they intended to slap her or pull her hair and missed, but in any case, she was hit."

The friend explained that the incident left the actress terrified and struggling to sleep and function properly even months after. She added that though they thought about reporting the incident to the police, they didn't have evidence to prove the abuser's actions.

Regardless, fans are hoping for Zhao Lusi's recovery and are calling for accountability for the abuser's actions.
