She had the world at her feet after rising to fame in a popular Chinese television show before a surrogacy scandal ruined it all.

Zheng Shuang, originally from Shenyang, China, enjoyed all the perks of being a successful actress after her 2009 breakout role in Meteor Show, including modelling for Prada and receiving nominations at prestigious award shows.

The 33-year-old's personal life equally flourished, and she was enjoying a romantic relationship with one of China's biggest reality TV producers, Zhang Heng, with the pair marrying in America in 2019 before opting to become parents via surrogacy.

China forbids surrogacy, but travelling abroad to have surrogate children has increasingly become an option for some Chinese couples, particularly wealthy ones.

Things took a turn shortly after they exchanged vows when the couple's relationship broke down two months before the surrogate babies were due.

She faced accusations of demanding in a recorded phone call that the surrogate mothers abort their foetuses seven months into the pregnancies, despite her ex offering to be a single father. Zheng accused the producer of attempting to extort her.

Shockwaves reverberated around China when Zhang alleged that the US-based children, born to two separate women in late 2019 and early 2020, were physically abused while in Zheng's care - a claim she unequivocally denies.

Now, the actress, who was dropped by Prada, has lost her riches and enviable lifestyle, and is said to be grappling with intense financial issues. Reports claim that she is facing threats from creditors regarding a lack of debt repayments.

Surrogacy abortion? Watta nut case.
