Maggie Cheung Ho-yee banned from TVB
23 Oct – Rumour has it that while TVB is welcoming home their runaway artistes from HKTV, the company may not be as forgiving to certain stars, like gossip magnet, Maggie Cheung Ho-yee.
According to Oriental Daily website, the actress, who used to be one of the top actresses of TVB, fell out with the company in 2012, when she did not attend the promotional events for her series, "The Last Steep Ascent".
Sources claimed that the actress was acting difficult, and allegedly demanded a TV Queen award in exchange for a contract renewal. However, the company turned down her request as they had decided to implement a one-vote-per-person system that year.
Insiders stated, "TVB intended to create transparency to retain public interest, so it is believed that the company hesitated about negotiating with Maggie."
Other stars that allegedly may not be welcomed home by the company include Yoyo Mung, who was not very well-received by viewers in the first place; Felix Wong, who has been very vocal in criticising TVB; as well as Frankie Lam, who is known for his outspokenness.
However, when asked about the rumours, TVB Executive Virginia Lok dismissed such notions, saying, "TVB has always maintained a positive relationship with its artistes. These are pure speculations."
