Outlets in Hong Kong are circulating a story that Zhang was paid for sexual liaisons with numerous Chinese politicians, including scandal-plagued Bo Xilai.

According to local tabloid reports, the actress has been barred from traveling during a government investigation into the supposed sex scandal.

The Apple Daily originally claimed Zhang received more than $100 million from businessmen and politicians over the course of several years.

But now Zhang is striking back at the allegations and promising legal action.

“The accusations made against award-winning actress Ziyi Zhang are completely false and defamatory,” her rep tells Gossip Cop in a statement.

The statement continues, “There is no truth in any of the allegations that have come forth which are a result of calculated cruel intentions against a well respected established actress. Legal repercussions are ensuing and these slanderous reports will not be tolerated in any way.”
