Former competitive bodybuilder and television personality, Rocky Cheng Kin-lok, has publicly addressed recent, highly inflammatory accusations concerning outstanding personal debts, breaking a period of public silence. The 58-year-old, who gained fame as a Mr. Hong Kong contestant, posted a cryptic but assertive statement on social media today, seemingly referencing ongoing financial controversies that have become a subject of intense public scrutiny following the circulation of posters demanding repayment.
Cheng’s statement, posted on his Instagram Stories featuring white text against a black background, focused heavily on the themes of karma and consequence. “For those who have harmed you, the reaping of consequences begins the moment the harm is inflicted,” the post read, adding that “everything has a cause and effect; what is deserved will surely arrive.” The post concluded with a warning about inevitability: “Consequence may be delayed, but it is never absent. Everything has a cycle; tell me, whom has heaven spared?”
Public Posters Spur Controversy
The former action star’s response comes days after posters were aggressively displayed in public areas, explicitly naming Cheng and detailing allegations of significant consumer debt. According to reports surrounding the content of these publicly circulated notices, the accusations claim that following his divorce, Cheng accumulated various unpaid personal debts. The posters reportedly contained sharp language, suggesting that Cheng believed filing for bankruptcy would alleviate his financial responsibilities completely.
While Cheng did not directly confirm the existence or accuracy of the alleged debt or the bankruptcy claim in his brief online response, his invocation of karmic retribution is widely interpreted as a rebuttal to his accusers.
A History of High-Profile Events
This is the second significant public controversy to involve Cheng in recent months. Earlier this year, he was linked in reports to a highly publicized relationship, often described in local media as a “father-daughter romance,” with 37-year-old actress Anita Chui. That relationship came to an abrupt, public end when Chui reportedly distanced herself from Cheng, going so far as to unfollow his social media accounts, effectively drawing a line under the romantic speculation.
Cheng’s background as a former competitive athlete and television figure has ensured that the recent financial allegations have garnered widespread attention across digital and traditional entertainment news circuits. The public nature of the accusations—specifically the use of physical posters—escalated the matter from a private dispute to a major news event.
Legal experts note that public shaming through the use of posters, while dramatic, often falls into a legal grey area depending on local defamation laws, and rarely serves as a formal collection mechanism. Creditors seeking repayment of legitimate debts are advised to utilize proper legal avenues, such as applying for court orders or engaging licensed debt collectors, rather than resorting to public harassment.
As the situation develops, industry observers anticipate further clarity on the financial claims. For now, Cheng has chosen to meet direct public accusation with a philosophical, if evasive, assertion of divine justice against his detractors.
