The beautiful star Zang Ziyi is on a hot seat and there are investigations regarding a sex scandal, The stunning 33-year-old, one of China's highest-paid stars and a three times BAFTA nominee, has vehemently denied a string of shocking allegations which emerged in Chinese media. According to the, as yet unsubstantiated, reports, Zhang slept with Bo, the former mayor of Chongqing, at least 10 times between 2007 and 2011 in exchange for "huge" monetary gifts.
Chinese officials reportedly believe the pair were introduced by a close associate of Bo, a Chinese multi-millionaire businessman named Xu Ming. Zhang who starred in Rush Hour 2, House of Flying Daggers and Memoirs of a Geisha – is alleged to have made millions more from similar deals with other rich and powerful figures, including more than £18 million from 41-year-old Xu alone.
The alleged trysts, all of which were said to have taken place in Beijing, netted the actress – whose latest film ironically is a new version of Dangerous Liaisons – around £1 million each time. Ming has reportedly confessed to authorities that he paid Zhang £600,000 to have sex with him for the first time in 2007 and that he later negotiated a deal for a similar liaison with the married Bo.
