Overseasidol.com — On July 16, 2025, Chinese actor Jacky Heung became the center of controversy following reports claiming he was being sued by MGM Macau for allegedly defaulting on a HK$1.4 million gambling debt.
The news quickly went viral, sparking widespread discussions online.
In response, Jacky’s studio issued a statement via their official account, “Jacky Heung Information,” declaring the rumor baseless.
The studio emphasized, “Rumors stop with the wise,” and clarified that Jacky was not the debtor himself, but had acted as a credit guarantor for a third party.
MGM China later released an official statement published in Macau Daily, confirming that all debts have been repaid and legal proceedings have been terminated.
The company noted that such operational matters are typically not shared with the media.
They urged the public to cease spreading false information that could cause unnecessary harm to Jacky Heung’s reputation.
As of now, Jacky’s team has decided not to make further comments, calling for respect toward the actor’s privacy and name.
