Last July, Asian showbiz lost one of its brightest stars, Hong Kong singer Coco Lee. It was not long after her death that a nine-minute voice recording surfaced. On it, Coco claimed she was bullied during her stint as a coach on Chinese reality singing show Sing! China.

Warner Music China, Coco’s agency back then, released a statement saying that they “had the responsibility to ensure that they fight for and protect the rights of their artistes”.
