Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung made headlines today after she took legal actions against rumor mongers who claim she squandered her own share from ex-husband’s divorce settlement five years ago.
She was married to a popular celebrity actor-singer Nicholas Tse.

Some tabloids reported yesterday that the actress told some of her close pals at the airport that she regretted squandering Nicholas’s wealth, adding that she wants to focus on her career now, having depended on the ex-husband’s wealth for over 5 years.
The confession may have been made to her trusted friends but even the walls have ears. She has however, fired back at rumor mongers after her disclosed secret surfaced online.

Before the couple divorced in 2011, Cecilia was accused of cheating on her husband with Edison Chen. She’s alleged to have had one too many affairs, and would not retrace her steps even after warnings from Nich.
JayneStars wrote: Nic’s divorce decision was not solely instigated by Cecilia’s friendly photo collaboration with ex-flame, Edison Chen (陳冠希), in May. He could no longer withstand her rash personality and her “threats” in their marriage.

Since the incident with Edison, Nic felt that Cecilia did not consider his feelings and was deeply angered. He refused to celebrate Cecilia’s birthday with her and did not return her phone calls and text messages. This did not make Cecilia reflect on her actions but rather incited her to ask her lawyer to send a letter asking for divorce.
She sent threatening text messages that she will commit suicide as well.

Cheung has been romantically linked to Hong Kong male singers such as Daniel Chan and Jordan Chan. She then dated Nicholas Tse in early 2002, but split with him late that year when he returned to his ex-girlfriend, singer Faye Wong.
In early 2003, rumors surfaced that the actress and Edison Chen were in a secret love affair, a rumor which both vehemently denied but not until nude pictures of both Edison and Cecilia got leaked online.

About three years later, Cheung and Tse were first reported to have reconciled in early 2006 and on 31 July 2006, Tse officially admitted to dating Cheung in an interview with Commercial Radio Hong Kong 881/903.
In September 2006, Tse showed off his wedding ring at the Hong Kong International Airport, announcing that he and Cheung had been married in a secret wedding ceremony in the Philippines.
Secilia Cheung’s parents divorced when she was little after which she was sent to Australia for studies. She graduated from RMIT Holmes College.
Legal action serves good purposes against rumor mongering.
