Zhao Lusi is making waves online again, this time for a social media cleanse that sent her trending on top of the Weibo hot search. The hashtag Zhao Lusi Unfollowed (#赵露思取关) had netizens dissecting the actress’s latest move—the 26-year-old star reduced her following count from 239 to 12 (now 11). Her visible follow was the official account of Love’s Ambition, her upcoming drama with William Chan.
Naturally, this sparked mixed reactions. Fans clarified that there was no issue with a particular platform, as she had unfollowed accounts across all three major streaming platforms, not to mention internet celebrities and fellow actors alike. Others criticized Zhao Lusi for unfollowing the many actors who previously helped promote her dramas. Meanwhile, some accused her of trying to stay relevant over this mass unfollow, while others speculated she was simply removing toxic connections. On the other hand, her fans argue it’s no big deal—just a personal decision that doesn’t need to be overanalyzed.
Despite the buzz, Zhao Lusi seems unfazed as she just graced the March cover of Esquire. Interestingly, she did her own makeup for the shoot. Following her health issues that culminated last December, the actress has returned for her work obligations this year. Initially, many thought she’d resume filming for Almost Lover, the controversial drama that had been put on hold, but the latest rumor suggests she won’t be returning to that project. There’s even speculation she might be leaving her agency—but for now, it’s all just speculation.

I am more interested in who are the 11 privileged ones worthy of her attention.

Makes sense to follow brands than people as a celebrity.. Less rumors and less fan war.

Call me a cynic but this reeks of attention seeking behavior! Maybe she’s trying to draw more attention to her magazine cover. Her team needs to chill out with the publicity stunts…

She’s not mentally healthy yet. She really needs to step away and get proper treatment. These are signs of a continuing downward spiral.

@Ellie:
I agreed with you. I don’t know what she did to her face, but she does look the same like before. I miss seeing her old look – she was cuter back then. 🤔🤔🤔

I love how these people cannot help but criticize. I f you can’t support, then move to your favorite and support them.
Ellie, if you are a medical doctor or mental health therapist, and have licenses, then could you publish them here,
then we’ll listen to your diagnosis, but only if you have personally treated someone. But then ethics would be a concern.
I like many actors, I have no right to criticize them personally, because I do not know them. Acting is the profession they have chosen.
Everyone have a good day!
