“The scandal has been a great deal of hurt for me and the people around me. I was naive and foolish in the past (admitting to it indirectly) but I am already a grown-up now. I would like to thank my manager, company, family and friends for their support. I’m sorry for the trouble that it has caused to the society. I will work even harder and bravely face up to my life in future. I also thank the media for their concern and fans for their unwavering support.”
“Gillian has been hiding since the scandal started, and will be appearing in public for the first time. She will appear for 10 minutes with the press; however no questions will be taken. The whole of the 英皇 company and it’s artists will appear in support of Gillian.”
The head of “artist affairs” Mani said yesterday that she has been talking with Gillian and everything is fine; she is ready to meet the press. All the artists except Joey Yung will be there.
Every year Twins will hold a “Chinese New Year” gathering, however in previous years this has been a private affair with no press. This year, due to rumours of her suicide and concerns about her health, and her fan’s concerns about her health, she will make a statement and meet the press for 10 minutes, after which she will meet with nearly 100 of her fans.
As to her appearance today, there has been much discussion on the internet forums; some say that unless Gillian acknowledges the pictures they must be fakes, others have started topics to give their idol moral support. One thinks that Gillian will say “everyone has their wrong moments”, while on the inside only thinking the act of taking pictures is wrong but not the act itself; others say that Gillian will probably faint on stage.
As to the current status of Edison, apparantly he could not face the fact of all these pictures appearing and is very depressed at the moment, not stepping out of his house; not knowing how to handle this, or when this will end. His mom and 2 sisters were worried about the media doing something to him and has flown to the US to give him support. The news is once he saw his mom he broke into tears. After his mom and sister talk to him, he appeared to have calmed down.
Gillan Chung reveals her rumors with Edison Chen & speaks truthfully in Taiwan Promotion
Hong Kong artistes only reveals their rumors when they go on Taiwan’s variety shows. Good looking, Ah Gil (Gillian Chung) and Edison Chen continuously denied that they had past affections for each other when they were in Hong Kong. But when they’re on Taiwan’s variety show, it is revealed that Edison is a rumor sweetheart. Edison discloses in front of Vincy, girlfriend may be on the top 10 rank or above; although he’s attaching towards Vincy, but he and Small S made a bet of $10,000 (Taiwan dollar), bet that in the year 2008 he would break up, will he let Small S predict whats going to happen?
Small S bets that Edison and Vincy would break up
Always a target for Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland’s media, the two girl duo Twins is regarded as a challenge goal and an idol. Recently because Ah Gill was involved in the celebrity sex photo scandal, she has not receive any jobs. Because netizens have been debating online, when she returned to HK she accepted an interview. She expresses that she is not close with Edison Chen nor does she have his phone number. But actually in private life, there is a close contact with him. On Youtube, there is a clip of Twins promoting 《我愛黑澀會》 in Taiwan in June 2006. In the function it is seen that the two (Twins) are considered idols. The “Black Person” host chased Twins asking them about their rumors is it real or fake? Ah Sa first disclosed that she has 4 rumored boyfriends: Ronald Cheng, Ekin Cheng, Dicky Cheung and Shawn Yue. “Black Person” Host asked her of the 4, who she feels was the most compatible with her? She says Ekin Cheng because the their appearance have some similarities. Suddenly Ah Sa was asked, Edison Chen isn’t her rumored boyfriend? Ah Sa immediately says, “Edison isn’t mines.” Ah Gill then adds, “He’s mine. (Just rumors though!)” But counting that time, the two of them did have contact.
Edison Chen strongly emphasizes to not share self-taken nude pictures online.
As for Edison, on July 2007 in the 《康熙來了》 show, he emphasized that he only loved Vincy. They dated for 3 years and the relationship was good all along. But Small S (the show’s hostess) feels that their relationship had a barrier, in the show there were many expressions that showed they didn’t like the two’s relationship. Then she bets with Edison of $10000 Taiwan dollar that Edison and Vincy would break up in 2008, at the time he had lots of confidence so he accepted the bet. Edison also said that he would not put his self-taken nude pictures online and share it with others, because he felt that its not necessary. Unexpected to him that in the present there is already so many of those photos online to “share” with others.
“Video will be uploaded when Gillian Chung appears in public today”, claims mystery poster
The Edison Chen sex photos scandal is really getting out of hand as the days go by instead of winding down. At around 2300 hours last night, a netizen posted a message in Tianya.cn forums stating that the moment Gillian Chung makes her public appearance today, he/she will post the video simultaneously!
The netizen that posted this message said that he/she was posting on the behalf of “Kira”.
The post subject also added that “Kira” was not in Hong Kong.
‘Thank you everyone for your support. 1) I am not using the photos/videos to extort money and this is to rebuke earlier reports that I am extorting money (HKD 5,000,000) for this. 2) What Jackie Chan said today in an interview made me very unhappy. He even goes on to say that Jackie is somewhat implicated in the video (?) It’s believed that he is responding to Jackie Chan’s plea to netizens not to care about the photos but show care for those affected by the snowstorms instead. 3) He ends by saying that video will be released the moment Gillian appears in public later this afternoonIt is rumoured that what is the most shocking is not photos, but the men’s voice in the video. Edison Chen was said to ask Jackie Chan, “Big Brother, who is stronger between us?”

There seems to be something going on behind the scenes since “Kira” seems to be either using Gillian to elevate the scandal even further or trying to stop her from appearing at all! What unpredictability this is turning out to be.Gillian meanwhile has not yet recovered from this hurtful scandal and despite her present state of mind, today’s fan meeting appearance is not something that she is doing willingly. Rather it was forced upon her after sponsors threatened her to make a statement. Albert Yeung & wife will be present too.There have been lots of hoax posts going around in the aftermath of this scandal with one saying “Kira” was caught (of course not), but since this was picked up by a chinese news portal, there’s a possibility it might be real.- There’s an earlier news report that EEG had one of their websites hacked into and defaced. Well, that’s a hoax since eeg.hk is not associated with EEG at all. - The scandal has made its rounds around the world and in Japan, rumours abound that Ami Suzuki, Edison’s co-star in movie, “Initial D” could also be involved. Edison was very caring towards her during filming and even participated a Japanese variety show with her.- Edison is a wanted man now on three accounts. By sponsors to terminate their contracts with him, triad bosses for his involvement with Vincy Yeung and causing chaos, and the police for possibly committing a crime. No wonder he left Hong Kong immediately after the scandal broke, he knew what was coming!- A script of what Gillian was going to say today was leaked online. The authencity cannot be verified and is likely a prank by bored netizens.

Edison Chen’s recent pornographic photos have shocked the whole world. Yesterday at 12 am, additional photos of Edison engaged in sexual situations with various Hong Kong female celebrities were uploaded online. Accordingly, six women have already been implicated in the scandal.
Based on the memorabilia appearing in the background of the photos, reporters speculate that Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi had an affair with Edison when she was in her turbulent stage with Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, circa 2004 to 2005. Cecilia and Edison may have been involved for approximately 3 years.
In past interviews (prior to the release of the sex photos), Cecilia recounted that she met Edison when she was only 18 years old. The pair filmed a commercial ad together and Edison had not officially entered the entertainment industry yet.
At the time, Cecilia insisted she was not dating Edison. “We will continue to be good friends, really good friends going forward. No matter what happens, I will continue to speak out for him.” However, given the current sex scandal, Cecilia’s past outburst was a bit ironic.
Since the sex scandal, Cecilia has not made a public appearance. Allegedly, Cecilia and husband, Nicholas Tse, had rife marital arguments due to the scandal.
In February 2004, Cecilia and Nic filmed movie, “The Promise” together and mended their relationship. In March of the same year, the paparazzi photographed the pair together during the filming. However, at the time, Cecilia was allegedly involved in relationships with Edison Chen and Jordan Chan Siu Chun.
In 2005, Cecilia dated a Caucasian man. At the same time, there were rumors that she may have gotten back together with Nic Tse. In May 2005, Nic and Cecilia promoted “The Promise” in Cannes and Director Chen Kaige said the pair had “an intimate relationship.”
While promoting “The Promise” in Taiwan the same year, Cecilia did not omit the likelihood of reuniting with Nic Tse. However on May 20, 2005, Cecilia returned to Hong Kong and attended Edison Chen’s apparel store’s one year anniversary celebration. Cecilia and Edison appeared to be quite intimate with each other at the event.
Based on these events, reporters speculate that Cecilia was involved with Edison amidst break-ups and reunifications with Nic Tse.
Edison Chen Koon Hei’s ex-girlfriend, Bobo Chan had retired from the entertainment industry and was intending on marrying into high society. However due to the recent online circulation of pornographic images of Bobo and Edison, her marriage plans may be wrecked.
Bobo’s emotional state has been shaky and did not emerge from her home for several days.
Allegedly, Bobo may have traveled to the United States to de-stress. She will also be meeting with her current boyfriend, Gam Ji Yiu, who works overseas. Perhaps Bobo may be attempting to repair her relationship with Mr. Gam?
Gam’s close friend, Jong Yau Kin, had a horse scheduled for a race yesterday. Mr. Jong himself did not appear at the horse race, but his colleague, Mr. Au Yeung, was his representative.
Regarding rife rumors that Bobo’s marriage plans may be wrecked, Mr. Au Yeung said, “I have not heard of them.” (When will Bobo and Mr. Gam get married then?) “I don’t know. Mr. Gam is feeling very calm despite the situation.”
“I spoke to Mr. Gam during the Lunar New Year. Although I don’t know Bobo too well, but she is a polite and good-natured woman. Please do not continue to write gibberish about her. She is a good person!”
Did Bobo’s sex scandal detract from her good image? “I don’t want to judge her.”
Early this morning, the online circulation of nude photographs continued to escalate. In addition to those of suspected Cecilia Cheung and suspected Gillian, the naked photo of suspected Edison’s girlfriend Vincy taking a shower was also uploaded by internet users and circulated online.
Three photos of suspected Vinchy taking a shower was circulated online. The photos shows the female looking straight at the camera and does not seem to suggest it was secretly taken.
Faced with the exposure of indecent photographs, the lead actor Edison Chen escaped to the United States. Edison Chen chose to be silent, since issuing a statement of apology on 4th of February, his personal blog has not been updated since. Edison’s action did not change but the nude photographs circulated online continue to have changes with the latest being the widely spread rumours of one celebrity with the name containing the letter Q.
Web users are not forgiving to Edison Chen for keeping silent, many netizens are targeting him.
They feel that the faces of these suspected celebrities who were photographed were vaguely red, expression or emotion showing in one’s eyes were scattered. Calling into question whether Edison had used drugs or alcohol on these suspected female celebrities to entice them into taking these photographs. It is learnt that the Hk police will also ask the relevant parties if they were voluntary.
According to Hong Kong media reports Edison Chen had previously sent his personal computer to more than two companies for servicing. Aside from those computer technician who are in reprimand by the police, there’s also possibility of another group of people with access to these photographs. According to reports, those involved did not relate the circumstances surrounding the case to the police which made the police’s job even harder in accessing the number of source involved.
