NOT only did her recent public tantrum caused her to lose over T$1mil (RM145,071) in brand endorsement deals, Taiwanese Internet celebrity Ili Cheng is afraid it will negatively affect her love life as well, reported Sin Chew Daily.
The 33-year-old was recently caught on film tearing down a notice in her apartment building announcing that she owed more than T$49,000 (RM7,122) in management fees.
“Does it mean I will find it harder to get a boyfriend after this incident?” she asked.
According to Cheng, she lost more than T$1mil in brand deals from property developers due to her outburst.
Cheng has since assured the public that she has repaid her outstanding management fees and promised never to overlook such payments again.
In an earlier report, the management committee of the apartment building had also issued another notice urging Cheng to collect her online shopping parcels from reception within three days or they would no longer collect parcels on her behalf in future.
Her manager apologised on her behalf, explaining that the celebrity was travelling for work and had neglected her administrative responsibilities.
Cheng, known fondly as the “Chicken Cutlet Girl”, shot to fame when her promotional video for a fried chicken cutlet restaurant went viral in 2012.
> What was touted as the “Highest Waterfall in Asia” turned out to be fake after it was discovered that the water was flowing from a pipe, reported Sin Chew Daily.
The Yuntai Mountain Waterfall in China’s Henan province, which is 314m tall, has always been a favourite tourist spot due to it being marketed as the tallest waterfall in Asia.
A visitor recently decided to film his hike towards the edge of the waterfall and made a startling discovery.
He found that water from the waterfall came from several large pipes installed into the mountain.
Some speculated that the local authorities were forced to install the pipes due to a drought, and they had decided to pump water uphill to avoid disappointing visitors to the area.
However, an Internet user claimed that the “fake waterfall” was a result of a financial dispute between Henan province and Shaanxi province.
He said Shaanxi had cut off water supply to the waterfall, which is located in Henan, after failing to come to an agreement on how they should split tourist dollars stemming from the waterfall.
As a result, he said, Henan was forced to install water pipes to manufacture a waterfall.
