Edison Chen quits the entertainment industry

Edison Chen finally made his way to Hong Kong for a much anticipated press conference. There he confirmed the authenticity of the leaked sex photos and apologized for the media chaos it caused. In a surprising move, he also promised to quit the Hong Kong entertainment industry indefinitely. Note that he only specified Hong Kong.
“Most importantly, I would like to say sorry to all the people in Hong Kong. I give my apologies sincerely to you all, unreservedly and with my heart,” he said.
He added: “I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society. And, in this regard, I failed as a role model.”
“During my time away, I’ve made an important decision. I will wholeheartedly fulfill all commitments that I have to date. But, after that, I’ve decided to step away from the Hong Kong entertainment industry. I’ve decided to do this to give myself an opportunity to heal myself and to search my soul,” he said.
“I will be away from Hong Kong entertainment indefinitely.”
I wish this would happen in America. Like, when Paris Hilton released her sex tape, she would be shamed into hiding, eventually make a big statement about quitting showbiz, everyone would cheer and life would be good. But, no. Blowing that dude only magnified her fame. This is why I suggest we ship Paris over to Hong Kong and not poke air holes through her box.
I like how in the video you can hear the sound of a million flashes go off. Not only did this happen, but the police also raided Edison Chen’s house and confiscated all his computer equipment.

Go to medical school. A gynecologist friend of mine has seen a few of them. The novelty will wear off fast.
Edison is a public figure that it why people have higher standard of him, are you really that thick?
Did you not read the news some time ago where Hilary Clinton shredded a tear during some public event and everyone made a big deal out of it? Price William and Harry broke up with their girlfriends and it is on every front page of the newspaper, did you not think that weird?This happens not only in Hk!
As for Kira, of course he has to blame, but we dont know who he is or where he is, until the HK police are able to locate him, there’s nothing to do. Do you actually think the HK government will be crazy enough to give him a medal for spreading the photos?
What about those idiots who idolist and write to murderers and rapist on death role etc in the United States? There are idiots everywhere!
I dont understand why you dont get it, this is the same sort of thing as Paris Hilton and Pamela Andrson sex tape, the States has one of the largest porn industry but people made a big fuss out of these tapes too!
What they do in private is noboady’s business but he is too careless with something so important and he should have assisted the police earlier.
He only issued a statement to the press through his lawyers about his ‘intellectual rights’ of the photos yesterday, trying to stop the press printing them, he should have done this weeks ago before it became so widespread! He should have admitted to taking the photos and let the police search his house, not yesterday, but at the start!
He just want to make sure he is free of potential criminal charges, trying to safe his own arse first before having any considerations to the girls involved!
You say HK people support Kira, but the fact is you, and they, know nothing about Kira. The whole blackmail story has got no proof from anywhere, and was probably just made up by someone in Southern China for whom HK$7 mill sounds like a lot of money. No one knows Kira was blackmailing anyone. And the “rumour” talked about nonsense like Jolin Tsai being involved, which also means it probably isn’t accurate. Kira wouldn’t tell anyone, so who would have this story? No one. There’s a whole other story that this is about feuds between different gangs, which seems quite possible because not many people in HK without gang protection will cross these people. One reason people don’t judge Kira is he may not even exist.

I dont want to sacrifice having not going to see a good Hollywood movie because of him! He should not be in the entertainment business anymore- apart from porn!
It’s okay, Allan604 is too busy worrying what will happen if his girlfriend ever meets Edison to think straight.
give me a rich daddy like edison and i’ll quit my job right now
Say he doesnt owe us an apology but since he did, we have a choice not to accept it also!
So if he would have leaked some sex photos of you, you wouldnt mind then? You wouldnt be angry with him being so negligence about keeping the photos safe? Would you applaude him then?
The same goes to the States, what’s the big deal if your president had an affair with an intern and stuck a cigar up her private area, it will not hinder his ability to run the country properly! lol
Yes who is this? Edison himself? Poor Edison? What are you on about? We all sin but not all of us are stupid and go into hiding in a different country when the shxt hits the fan!
haha..that’s right!
So why are you here? and not sufing through some med. websites then?
Today news said Edison already been to some casting jobs at LA before coming back to Hk, that shows how selfish he is!
Bottom line, why take pics. And even if it’s the only way to allow you to get off, why then hand your computer that holds the pics over to someone who clearly has no reason to not betray you. Ed’s paying the price for being a dumb schmuck. Be a pervert if you want, but be a smart pervert at least.
I believe in karma, he will get punish one day, not only for this but for being an arrogant, selfish, gutless human being.
Edison please disappear from the world’s entertainment industry! You cannot sing, you cannot dance and you cannot act!
Interesting how we reacted differently to the artists involved. Everyone condemns Edison and Gillian but with Cecilia, apart from the hairy comment, we seemed to be ok with her. The reason most likely being she never faked to be a virgin girl like Gillian and actually has an acting talent unlike Edison. This all seems fair to me.
Just lean back and open your legs.
I agree..maybe Edison cannot fuck well too LOL
He should post his sex tape out and let people decide if he should be in the porn industry instead >.<
Yeah, save his bits of “The Dark Knight” to go out for a piss or buy some popcorn.
It may not be true, but if it is it’s major hypocrisy. They don’t cast for “charity” work.
Kira may or may not be to blame. Kira may or may not even be alive. If I had got a pest out of the way, I’d circulate a rumor that I’d paid him off. That makes him look bad and me look innocent. Edison’s punishment might seem a bit too much to some because we have seen his face. We don’t know what “punishment” Kira has had. We don’t know what shit the women have gone through because of this because only one of them has even come out. It’s not wise to feel sympathy for one person just because he’s had more time on TV than the others and plucked at those heart strings.
I dont think EDC should be blamed for the whole incident! It wasn’t his fault! And he is brave enough to step out and admit that he was the one who takes all the pics.. cant you guys say smth for this? but I really dont wanna see him leave the H.K entertainment industry.! =[
Hollywood has
Yeah…he had to step up to say they are his pic b/c this is the only way he can help to stop the bleeding… Email was sent everywhere and police cannot do shit b/c each receipient is a “friend” of each other.
Only by claiming they are his pic, he can put copy rights on it. This means if you ahve a copy and you are sending it through email, he can sue you already. Don’t u understand the tatics he is using?
Of course, the grils may sue him as well since now he is claiming he owns the full rsponsibility of this…but noone will sue him. Each had enough shit alrady. What if Eidson in the court start saying other stuff and bring out more evidence like unseen video tape? All girls will shut up from this point onwards.
I strongly believe you(allan604)couldn’t get it up no more, otherwise why would u want EDC to do your girl. or maybe you want to have new picture collections(starring allan604’s girl giving EDC a BJ). you should just lend EDC your mouth instead…lol
edison is the luckiest bastard on earth. get to have sex with all the major china actress and he can proved it..two thumbs up for Chen
edison. we will forgive you….
if you give us gillian’s video!
NOTE THAT HE ONLY SAID TO QUIT THE “HONGKONG” ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. APPARENTLY, EDC HAS ALREADY GOT HIMSELF A TICKET TO HOLLYWOOD, LOOK HOW FAMOUS/INFAMOUS HE IS NOW TO THE WORLD!
AND FUCK, WHY THE HELL IS HIS SPEECH IN ENGLISH IF HE’S APOLOGIZING TO THE HK PEOPLE WHEN YOU KNOW THAT OVER 80% OF THEM DON’T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH THAT WELL?????
AND IN HIS SPEECH, HE NEVER SAID SOMETHING LIKE, “I’VE BEEN CARELESS/ I’M WRONG”….SOMEHOW, HE STILL SEES HIMSELF AS A VICTIM.
I DON’T BLAME HIM FOR TAKING THOSE PIX, I JUST HATE HIM FOR BEING SO CARELESS!
AND YOU KNOW, HE DOESN’T HAVE THAT MUCH TO LOSE, 99% OF THE PICTURES DON’T EVEN SHOW HIS FACE (WELL, JUST HIS DICK THO), THE PIX ARE ALL ABOUT THOSE GIRLS, I ESP FEEL BAD FOR BOBO!
HONESTLY, I DON’T FIND HIS SPEECH THAT POWERFUL AND SINCERE AT ALL!
FUCK EDISON, I DON’T WANNA SEE HIS SMIRKING FACE EVER ON TV AGAIN!
overall, who care!!!!!!
his even Famous now,,,,, LOL
whats wrong with videoing about his sex life?i dont see why its such a serious offence.tsk.it sounds like u guys doesnt have sex life, aint u? haha.
i agreed too.he aint e one who purposely leak off all e pics!& whats wrong with taking pictures?is just dick & vigina.there’r billions of them on e internet.whats so special abt them?like u guys r saying..EDC has a small dick?so what?at least he got the sexy look to please those hongkong stars.if size matters, try imagine a fcking ugly pimpled guy with xtra long dick fucking those hongkong stars.doesnt it disgusts u?LOL.
EDC loves!
edison is very pity man. i feel what he did is nothing wrong at all. its private its people privacy only that stupid kira who simply post it to make fun of it? what the fuck to that kira man. what edison ever do to u man.
He sex is his privacy man y u all nid to laugh at it and make fun of it. he handsome got many gals go for hi nothing wrong. he shudnt quit hong kong entertainment. ITS WASTE!! that hongkong trials also no head. think they never sex before want edison to quit then wont kill him? what shit is this man
Edison has NO talent, he should go back and finish high school then pick another career
His private life is his own business but not until he so carelessly let the photos fell into the wrong hands! If he would have been more careful, there will be no Kira!
Edison did nothing to us, he is being punished for being a lame loser!
Paris Hilton likes recording her sex life too, they should get together!
It is true that he stopped by LA to see his manager before coming to HK! It shows how much he really cares about the girls involved, what a loser!
I am not a medical professional so i dont know if it is wrong or not to take that kind of photos but he delayed his return because he went for some castings at LA instead of helping the HK police, now that’s LOW!
We are not condemning him for having sex, you idiot! If you are still wondering what he has done wrong, you must be very stupid!
First he has a duty of care to those girls whom he took the photos, secondly, as Edison himself said in his press con. he also has a duty of care to the youngsters, he failed to be a good role model and he apologized! Can not believe you are even more stupid than Edison! Go get a brain!
Can Mr ‘anonymous’ stop repeating its his private life! You have a limited one once you choose to become an artist albiet a bad one! Why do you think Clinton came forth aftering being caught having an affair with an intern? They didnt even had sex!
Edison = retard
Med guy, watch out, “no Edison here” is gonna do a “BoBo” on you.
Can any of you give a gay guy a break and send pictures of Edison to me. I can’t find any on the net that is not censored. I want to see his huge cock!
BTW, my email is…
