Edison Chen Quits After Sex Scandal
Hong Kong actor/singer Edison Chen made his first public appearance since his sex scandal broke earlier today, announcing his stepping away from the entertainment industry to heal himself.
“I would like now to apologize to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this,” Edison said at a press conference. “I would like to apologize to all the ladies and to all their families for any harm or hurt that they have been feeling. I am sorry.”
1,300 explicit photographs of Edison with a string of Hong Kong starlets and pop stars flooded the Internet over the past few weeks. The pictures were copied by the staff of a computer repair shop from a faulty laptop believed to belong to Edison.
“These photos were very private and have not been shown to people and were never intended to be shown to anyone,” the 27-year-old said. “I have failed as a role model. However I wish that this matter will teach everyone a lesson. I’ve decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul. I will dedicate my time to charity and community work within the next few months.”
Ten arrests in connection with the scandal have already been made by Hong Kong police.

He’s still Hot!!!
He’s still Hot!!!
who???
He is going to be in the new Batman movie. He got a part when they were shooting in Hong Kong.
I dont understand why everyone is blamming him alone for the whole thing. 1st, the pics were stolen - he did not distribute them. 2nd all the females are willing participants when the pics were taken and they now all appear as if they were the victims…..come on give me a break. they all have to be responsible for their actions!
love you, love you! it.s not all your fault. be strong!
don’t understand why is he apologizing for things like this?
i would love him more if he told everyone to leave him alone and he did nothing wrong…what’s wrong is those people who place expectations on him and think of him in a certain way.
he’s handsome and he’s single . hence he can DO anyone he wants so long as the girls want him. Just take a look a those leaking pictures , the gals apparently ENJOYED it .
1. if they weren’t celebrities, none of this would have gained any media traction.
2. they like sex (who doesn’t?) and enjoy taping themselves. so what.
3. reality check: men who are wildly wealthy get chicks. chicks fall for men who are wildly wealthy regardless of reputation. so if all was mutual, well then, who are we to judge?
4. the photos were illegally stolen. thieves ought to be punished. period.
5. immence resources are being wasted to protect him. police… body guards… etc. although necessary, what a waste of tax payers money!
what???????????
I wonder if anyone who sympathizes him has ever seen those photos!
imaging the pics of Venessa expose all her private parts in minute details and having oral and bj …. with a guy came out on the internet. How will the US people react?
well, i am a chinese, got to say something …
Hong Kong is a really small island, and those celebs involved are all local hongkong stars, those girls , you know their company will set a image of them, most of them are the sweet and pure kind..just not the sexy ones. and many fans of them are still teenagers…the pics really shocks many of the fans..and Edison, who’s always a “bad boy”,we just can’t link them together
besides, the entertainment cirlce of hongkong is rather small…in every concert or TV shows etc.you just keep seeing the same people. i mean if there are many more celebs you have more choice, it’s ok.but,this?it just make the small circle more chaotic dirty..
but Edison is really hot, the face is born with, that true…
I’ve heard that sex is the most like sports he does.lol thats so funny! and so true!
I dont think he need leaving. all of girls who piced also have to have responsibility to take pic.
how old are they? 12??? they all adult.
they took pics becouse they wanted or they didnt mind.
what I saw from these pics is they look so enjoying! especially girls.
if they didnt want to distroy thire “image” they shouldnt take pics.
most of us are able to enjoy sex without cameras.
duty comes with wealth. if you gain more, you should at least behave better. why do politician keep healthy image all the time? public influence. no offence to the states though, i do think entertainment circle needs regulation
Edison is at fault for storing those images and then took it to repair. He’s not at fault for having hot sex with the starlets.
He’s at fault though for having sex with girls that didn’t wax or shave. That was horrid to see. People should just forget and move on with this. Everyone is having sex in Hong Kong and everyone knows how to dispose images if they’re careful. Why the hell did those girls let him keep it then, huh?
He should be able to go back to what his job and let him be. Jesus, big fukching deal these people already.
all i want to say is those who posted the pics on the net need to have their balls chopped off. if you’re bored dont ruin people’s lives posting their private pics on the net, post your own pics.
his story is very similar to vanessa’s…
he had a sex scandal, she had a ‘u kno what’ scandal..
both apologized and both said the ‘pictures weren’t supposed
to be seen by anyone.’
also, they said the pics were meant to be private..
except the part when he says he failed as a role model…
vanessa went on with buisness while he needed to heal…
soo wierd—it’s so similar…wut do u think??
EDISON CHEN IS THE STUPID ACTOR FROM HONG KONG. I live in Hong Kong - this whole naked scandal has caused such a big mess!
Everyone hates him now cause he is SOOO INSANE! He took these HORRIBLE and TERRIBLE photos of naked celebrities.

======================================================
Yes, I’ve seen the pics and at the end of the day the girls agreed to get their pics taken!!!!! If that happened to Vanessa then I would blame her too.
If you don’t want people to know what you do behind doors then don;t take videos or pics!!!!
Just because people to see the girls giving a guy a bj or whatever it doesn’t mean that they are virgins. Sheesh!!!

+====================================================
He took terrible photos??/ but the girls weren’t getting raped were they? In fact the girls looked liked they were enjoying themselves and deliberately POSING for the camera. The girls seemed quite happy for their pics to be taken.
So why are you just blaming him??
I say they were both at fault. Stupid girls as well.
The most horrible thing about these pics are that the girls don’t wax or shave. I was disgusted with what I saw “down there”. It was like a forest, in fact worst… a jungle.
Maybe Edison Chen likes his women hairy.

what i heard was that he had a pink apple laptop
and clean installed the hard drive
(and avg ppl normally assume that it is relativelly ok then)
the computer shop ppl knew it was his laptop
hence recovered everything
also regarding the pics
some were snapshops from video clips
and most were of bj or legs wide open
no actual vaginal intercourse pics released
and his role in the batman seems to have gone to someone else
check imdb
What kid of stupidness is this? Noone has any privacy anymore? If I bring my laptop to be repaired I’m gonna see all the pics over the web too? Now I guess I have to take my own computer repair courses just so thing like that WONT happen?
WTF?!!!
I cont understand why HK people blam only him.
why not girls??? why not stoler??
he and girls did take them just for fun. not be shown public.
he is not guilty.
people who blaming only him is pretty stupid to me.
you can view the pictures here (obviously NSFW)– he’s pretty decently sized!

finally!!! it’s been quite a long time now that people are asking Chen to quit. There were some death threatens towards him. He ruines the carriers of stars reallt respected over there and one of the women can’t get married now. they are very conservative!
Wow .. I actually didn’t think you guys would’ve posted this here too. As a fellow Cantonese, I know that there’s a HUGE cultural difference between the two nations. Chinese people are a lot more conservative and a lot less forgiving in incidents like this.
I’ve seen his apologies as well as his pictures and in all honesty, I feel that he does regret his actions. Any celebrity would lose dignity over photos like those. And although I don’t condone his actions (the incident has split up Cicelia Cheung & Nicholas Tse’s marriage already), he is not entirely at fault. The women, along with him, are both consenting adults, yet at the same time, the pictures were released entirely without his consent. And therefore, in that aspect, it’s not his fault.
His career as an entertainer in HK is already ruined for the next couple of years. He’s lost promotional deals, movie roles, brought shame to his family, etc. Really, as people, let’s not make it even harder on him.

..Edison…i can’t believe u do decided to step away from the entertainment industry.u don’t know when i read the newspaper abt that..i cried= =..EC to be good…don’t be upset abt the future.everything will be alright…hope i could see you …..
what chinese think about sex is different from americans…
he did sth. wrong .he should apologize..but i think the one who really should apologize is the one who upload the pics to the Internet..
Mavis WTF shut ur mouth
the girls should apologize 2 is not his only fault
Well, Edison’s in trouble with HK triads isn’t he? Cause Cecilia Chung’s father is like some gangsta boss. A lot of the HK film industry is run by gangsters. Even Jackie Chan was complaining about it once.
JUST GLAD IT WASN’T LEE HOM!
He’s so much hotter than Edison!
Waaaay more talented/handsom/better actor.
