Hong Kong actress Cecilia Cheung is involved in another scandal again. The award-winning actress, who has been busy filming for her new movie "Out of Control: The Phantom Speed," is currently being targeted by an alleged creditor.

Recently, Cecilia's manager Emily received a threat via phone call from someone who claimed that thesinger-actress did not follow the terms agreed upon when she was given HK$32 million.

The creditor might have possibly been really irked by the 35-year old Cecilia, as he or she even blanked out the actress' eyes in one of her posters for "The Lion Roars 2." The debt collection poster was captioned, "Tear down the bridge after crossing the river! Ungrateful! Meet on TV station and magazine."

Cecilia has yet to personally comment about the threat. Only her manager has issued a statement.

"Anyone with sufficient evidence can go through the legal channel to recover the money. There is no need for threatening phone calls or using unscrupulous methods by triads."

She revealed that Cecilia already hired an attorney to help her in this case, as well as filed a police report so she can protect her safety. She also bluntly said that they are going to find who made the threatening phone call and "will seek compensation for Cecilia's losses."

This is not the first time that Cecilia has been involved in scandals. Aside from her publicized divorce with actor Nicholas Tse, she was fired last from the film "The Legend of the Gods."

Her former, long-time manager Tiffany Chen, was a producer of the star-studded film, which starred big-name stars like Jet Li, Huang Xiaoming, Louis Koo and Tony Leung Ka Fai. Cecilia was offered a part in the movie by Tiffany as the former asked her manager for help and seemingly sincerely apologized for her poor working attitude in the past.

Unfortunately, Cecilia reportedly continued to let her manager down. She was allegedly conducting herself in an unprofessional manner and was always throwing tantrums when she doesn't receive the attention she thinks she should get.

Charles Heung, husband of Tiffany and owner of the company, which produced "The Legend of the Gods," also spoke up about Cecilia's attitude and firmly said that he would never work with Cecilia again.

Tiffany, at the time, took to Weibo to explain and said that she fought for Cecilia and believed in her when everyone else was telling her not to hire her. In the end, Cecilia was fired from the film, but considering everything she did to help the actress, Tiffany said that her conscience is clear.
