It was rumored back in the day Maggie Cheung demanded for the TV Queen title in exchanged for a contract renewal with TVB, but that didn't work out and her chances of returning to TVB declined significantly. It was also said she just purchased a new home, but now that HKTV failed to get their free-TV license, she's now unemployed and has no money to pay for her mortgage. Yesterday Maggie wrote a letter to fans and shared it on Weibo. She denied all the rumors and explained her thoughts.

Maggie expressed in the letter that she still has options. She has the courage to do the things she believes are worthwhile and meaningful. As for the speculations in the public, Maggie expressed she believes the people that understand her will understand. "I have never publicly defamed or criticized any individual, any corporation or entity. Of course I'm talking about TVB. It was my personal desire to leave, but we still have a good relationship, but for now I will not consider my personal direction. Neither I or my management has ever asked TVB to give me an award in exchange for a signed contract. TVB has never used awards to discuss the contract with me. I am not perfect, but I deeply believe the true way. I believe through hard work, my colleagues and I can create new hope and a turn for the better. I have never regretted choosing to develop in a new world and I won't regret it in the future. Success or failure, is not determined by me. As a Hong Konger and a member in showbiz, because of acknowledgement and intuition, I must and absolutely support and defend this belief."

Maggie finished off the letter with: "Teardrop is not because I'm unemployed, not because I have regrets, not because I have no money to pay for mortgage, not because I cannot pay for family expenses, but because my heart and my warm-blooded colleagues' hearts are broken together!"
