"don't get too hung up on whether those media outlets apologise or not.
look at me still doing livestreams now and frequently interacting with you all. did their rumors have any real impact on me? since money is hard to earn, just let them make money in such a disgraceful way.
I believe every industry has its own hierarchy of respect. good media will look down on bad media, just like good actors will look down on bad actors.
you can't use your own perspective as the standard to judge others.
everyone has different values and boundaries. some peopleās bottom line can be that low, and they genuinely think itās not a problem."

āif the money didnāt go into your pocket nor it went into mine, then ONLY the people who received the help can say whether they were TRULY helped.
it's really that simple.
I'm not doing these things to get praise or recognition. saying that this was all some kind of planned schemeā¦ thereās really no need for that.
everyone starts from a different position and starting line. but we should make the best use of what we have. whether itās products or exposure, we should use it well, donāt you think?
this whole thing has turned into a situation where originally many people were willing to help promote farm products (including many streamers, influencers) they were all happy to help promote farm brands and sell their goods. (even those who were earning a commission from that; it's still a form of help) because farm products really are hard to sell in the first place!
so now, look whatās happened due to this "controversy". in the future, people might just avoid anything labeled āhelping farm products' they'll see those words and think, " I better stay away from that"
first of all, I didnāt take any money.
second, whether people want to buy or try farm products is totally their choice. I just make recommendations and even if people donāt buy, thatās totally fine.
I merely wanted to recommend something. I simply wanted these farmers. if 1 customer likes their stuff, theyāll be happy. if 2 customers do, theyāll be even happier. If 10, or 10 000, or a billion people like it, theyāll all be happy!
so whether someone consumes or not is another matter. supporting or helping someone doesnāt always have to involve money. it can still count as support and help."
Actress Yao Jingshu (worked with Lusi in LA) speak out for Lusi!!
"I'm just an unknown actor who played a scene with her. From what I've seen, she's professional, approachable, enthusiastic, beautiful, and loves to laugh. Haters words are scary"
#BieXu (male lead of "my girlfriend is an alien" and Lusi's co-star in "Cinderella Chef") speak out for Lusi!!
he replied to Lusi's insta post with " I've seen your hard work, come onš¤"
ELLE's makeup artist who did Lusi's makeup posted on XHS: "This time, there was not too much communication about Ruthās makeup. She just said āYou do itā and left it to me. My sister is so beautiful! I really want to give her more possibilities."
People keep twisting the narrative, saying #ZhaoLusi is āstirring hateā or āthrowing shade.ā Letās get this straight: calling out wrongdoing means pointing out harmful actions and telling people to stop. Thatās exactly what Zhao Lusi did.
She never mentioned a name, it could be anyone, or just a general warning. If you assume itās someone you know, thatās your choice. All she did was call out the ones actually harming her: people making orders to farmers just to refund them, pushing negative hot searches, and constantly attacking her and the people she is trying to protect. She even said, if you put your energy into doing good things and focusing on your own business, wouldnāt that be better? How can anyone twist that into āstirring hateā? The only ones stirring hate are the ones forcing her words onto their own narrative.
So why turn it into a fan war? Why blame her if outsiders assume itās about your artist? She didnāt drop a name, youāre the ones inserting yourselves. If you feel exposed, maybe itās because the behavior hit a little too close to home.
At the end of the day, Zhao Lusi has far bigger problems to face, agency battles, media pressure, and the constant challenges of the industry. She doesnāt need to waste her time on petty drama. Sheās simply telling the people causing harm to STOP. If youāre scrambling to defend your idol when no name was even mentioned, thatās not her shading thatās you exposing yourselves. āļø https://x.com/itsmejodiiii/status/1956262967512850665?s=46
Overseas drama fans donāt panic. So far Lusi said she will quit KU and weibo not the entertainment industry.
Followers is also raising. Before she publicly challenged Ku her followers is 30.49million sorry I did not take ss but Iām checking it everyday to 31.21 million. She gain more than 700 thousand followers without an airing drama.
zhao lusi just announced that she will be deleting her weibo account!
"so stop saying that i'm taking up public resources, I don't want to stay at that space at all" zhao lusi said that the decision to delete her weibo account wasn't a hasty one and she has long planned for it. she has long already discussed with all the brands that she's endorsing. they've reached an agreement and so there's no need for her to post any commercial content on weibo :)
zhao lusi swears that she'll never resort to spending dirty money on yxh (marketing accounts) š½"even I…

"don't be anxious...don't be anxious... I'll collect all the evidence and then sue them one by one... why wait? otherwise, I'm only get to sue several of them... since I'm already making a loss... might as well"
"why do such people who vilify someone exist? well, because they can't defeat that person in an equal competition
such lowly despicable tricks can only show how petty you are
yeah your å ę ø 'inner core' might be stable (emotionally stable) but you're narrow minded
there's probably nothing else to compare with, right?
you must have been waiting for my endorsements to be dropped to try snatch them (launching this hate smear campaign) but I just renewed them... so it must be angering"
zhao lusi swears that she'll never resort to spending dirty money on yxh (marketing accounts) š½
"even I don't earn as much as you (yxh)
what's wrong with your brain
how much money did they stuff you with? but I'm not willing to... those are my hard earned money. putting money into your pockets just to have you guys praise me a few words?
it's impossible... completely impossible for me to ever spend money on yxh
those who are spending money (on the yxh) are the ones who are panicking!
å°é¢ę°é» praises zhao lusi for her aid in agriculture sales through her online influence š
"stuck in her predicament, zhao lusi still turned off her livestream tipping feature and even used her powerful promotional & sales skills to recommend farm products, without endorsement fee, in support of farmers.
she helped to sell processed products like dried fruit and juice made from hail-damaged apples in shaanxi, resolving the issue of 600 tons of unsold apples for over 4,000 fruit farmers.
the true value of online traffic isn't just in its monetisation potential, but in its power to connect. connecting overlooked producers with potential consumers, connecting niche industries with mainstream markets.
at its core, helping agriculture means benefiting farmers; by simply purchasing unsold products already carries value.
the public discussion should return to the practical outcomes of aiding agriculture, rather than getting caught up in celebrity drama.
when helping farmers requires a 'certificate' to prove it's genuine and when online traffic 'games' overshadow the original intent of supporting agriculture, the ones who suffer most are always the farmers at the end of the supply chain & the trust of the public watching from afar.
furthermore, the seal of certification was proven to be real."
thereās a š going around rn regarding the broadcast of be myself #zhaolusi

Following after Zhao Lusi's Expose, Producer Zhang Zhi Xi also publicly calls out KU for its failure to fulfil…
just so you know, while KU started off as a management artiste agency, it has been transitioning into a production company that invest in big ip projects in recent years.
zhao lusi's call out of KU is not only helping to speak up for all artistes who have been subjected to abuse and exploitation, it is also giving courage to producers in the industry to speak up about their unfair experiences with KU
producer zhang zhixi was the one who worked hard since the early stages of the production preparation. KU's side breached contract terms (not pass the script to zhao lusi as promised), kick the original production company off the credits and then blame it on @YoukuOfficial
"I saw some comments that said that I shouldn't let others know you have depression or there will be no dramas that come looking for me... what if I 'go crazy' in the filming team
