He’s sorry.. but only sorry for being so …

He’s sorry.. but only sorry for being so stupid as to hand in his hard drive with his laptop….
He can afford decent advisors, and pulling out of HK with whatever dignity he can muster, is the only thing he can do… People aren’t prudes in HK behind closed doors, but they certainly are in the street and on TV!

After R Kelly I saw was applauded by the black community I’m thoroughly convinced Satan could trot out on stage and if he could lay down a tune he’d be aiight with them. I should clarify, I mean most, not all, because there are still quite a few who have not sold out their principles and have a solid ethics base.

What’s up with the “fobby” transcript??? It may as well have been written in “Cantonandarin” pinyin!
Oh, and I must have missed the part where he apologized for being too stupid to use file encryption.
***Editor response***
F.O.B. is an abbreviation for “fresh off the boat.” This is a term used by U.S. Asian immigrants and American born Asians to describe Asians who have just arrived in the U.S., and their obvious lack of English language skills, etc. It is also not a compliment.
I think he is sincere in his apology. can’t be deny that this matter did hurt a lot of people especially those ladies. But who never did wrong before? Since he already lose many things because of this incident, this is the penalty for him, and it is enough. Hope that he wouldn’t disappointed us again.
forgive him. we are all humans and we all make mistakes. no one is perfect and we all deserve a second chance. love and peace.
I bet most of the youngsters nowadays practise casual s@x..no big deal..for me..he could be forgiven for shooting the pics..afterall it’s personal favor..he could be forgiven for casual s@x..again, it’s his personal life..but fooling with ppl wife?! this has beyond the moral boundary..
There are times in human history that damage and hurt are too far-reaching and too deep that a few mere words of remorse can possibly address, this is one of them. Through his lack of caution, his lack of good judgement and his lack of decency, he has singlehandedly destroyed not just the reputation, the lives, the trust and the respect of those ladies involved, but also smeared the whole Hong Kong society as part of the collateral damage. This damage will no doubt last for many years to come. Incredibly one man (combined with modern technology) could cause so much damage in such a short time and there was nothing any decent citizens could do to arrest this monumental mistake. A huge lesson to learn for all of us. Can you imagine if this is a nuclear bomb, and his finger is on the button?
why does he have to apologize? (other than
the fact that the photos were stolen from him)
If it were me, I would probably feel extremely
proud.
In fact, a lot of girls dig this kind of stuff.
The scandal will probably help me bag more in
the future…
Like I said, that’s just me….
Well i think he is sincere, after what happened, those female celebrities what they meant to him, how close they are, they were involve with each other once and maybe they are friends now who knows, i guess intimate pictures of the one you know, liked or loved out in the wild, you will feel bad about it. In addition to his own personal pictures.
And also the Hong Kong triad leader has put a bounty on him and will pay whoever that will bring his hand to him, some veteran celebrity were worried about this and ask him not to return to Hong Kong for now.
With all of that in mind, i’ll say there’s no time to gloat.
Hmmm. His first language is Cantonese. All parties involved speak Cantonese. Most people in Hong Kong only speak Cantonese. Yet he says sorry in English (and quite complex legal phrasing making it difficult even for most of best speakers of English in HK.)
So who was he really talking to? Hong Kong? Or Hollywood and the rest of the world aqnd his future fans?
It could be a brillian career move. He is now well and truly in the world’s public eye. He can go to Hollywood with a much higher profile and have a better chance to ‘make it’ here.
And when it all calms down. He might even be able to get some work back home in Honkers. After all, he’s seen Jackie Chan flee Hk in disgrace only to return again as a hero.
“my lawyers will protect all involved.” Ha! It’s a bit too late now! Careers ruined. famillies shamed. Marriages broken, including his. But he could have decided the fame was more important than his relationship.
Surely he’s not so stupid as to give his computer with all those pics to strangers who are best equipped to copy them.
One thing’s for certain. He must be getting some kicks out of everyone seeing who he’s been with and what they’ve done.
And loads of Chinese men around the world won’t be able to believe what they can see. Some of the most beautiful famous women in the most compromising positions (ahem!)
He appears to be sincere but the apology lacks substance but is also calculated. The English news sources believe that he is quitting for good. Yet, he is only stepping away from HK show business for a while without a scheduled return date. Notice that he did not preclude working in other places, ie. Hollywood. He’s leaving room for maneuver. This move should bring some sympathy votes back to him since people may believe that he is overwhelmed by guilt.
Also, the only ones he should apologize to are his ladies yet somehow the broader HK community demands an apology from him. Perhaps, he is faulted for damaging the perception of a pristine, virginal world of which all must be a part of and hold to be true? More problematic is the very vulgar attachment to his taking those pictures and having s@x. What he did in private is part of everyday reality. Why be such prude? After all, he’s a victim in this.
Hollywood grind, you need to RELOOK at your transcript of the press conference. You wrote gibberish of what Edison had said. It is making NO sense at all. I did not expect this website to have such an appalling low level of English.
He’s sorry.. but only sorry for being so stupid as to hand in his hard drive with his laptop….
He can afford decent advisors, and pulling out of HK with whatever dignity he can muster, is the only thing he can do… People aren’t prudes in HK behind closed doors, but they certainly are in the street and on TV!
s@x photos an scandals are more popular in the US, plus it makes u more popular, but bein sorry? well the person who uploaded it should be, everyone takes naughty pics too at some point of their life,,,,
He’s too hawt to quit Showbiz man. ._.
the look is sincere.
nothing to hide but is that he is too stress.
i hope edison will learn from this lesson & will be famous in hollywood.
you are y hero…edison… you rule…
Edison Chen is sincere…
Edison is courage enough to face the public apology. Wheteher it is from his bottom of his heart, nobody know. Time will tell…
I believe he has the ulterior motive behind this situation and jump over to HOLLYWOOD industry in the West. His damages to the HK entertainment is beyond repair and he should be resposible not just leaving the industry.
We will see how he will grow again in the west. Surely, it is a lesson for all the girls “Don’t Judge The Book By It’s Cover” as in this case a “HANDSOME” and “NICE” guy!!! Of course “Inside” Beauty is still better than “Outside” Looks.
Agreed with cross_devil… Edison looks really stressed out but who wouldn’t be? Come on, celebs are human beings too and they do make mistakes. Why make it into such a big deal? Ok, so he’s a perv for taking such pics but well, the women in the pics look like they are enjoying it so I don’t think he should be the only one shouldering the blame. Give it a rest. His future is already doomed. Don’t need to make it harder on that guy.
such a waste of talents..
I saw him on MTV last year n they said that he is the most shining stars in asia nowadays..
so ironic
Hope he will accepted in Hollywood n become a nicer n better man hehe
……support too..!!
s@x and love are person’s life style,
plx don’t look down on them / . \ ”
i accept his apology…
@ oil to restart yr life , edc!!
Well, I think what he did today is wise and the only solution to this cracking scandal. But I think stepping out of the entertainment industry and doing community work isnt enough to buy back the faith of the Hong Kong people. He might be forgiven in years to come but i believe the felmale victims still suffer the most out of this.
I think Edison is sincere and really feel sorry for himself and others who was hurt by all these photos. who know may be one day in the future he will show us some of the photos he took with some hot hollywood stars. Is good for him to move to holywood …ha….I fully support his move
who needs him to be sincere, all they need is a scapegoat..
To my way of thinking, sincere or not sincere is not important now. Move on with your life and don rush into things. To me, he is sincere enough, I mean we can’t expect him to look so DRAGFUL and sad and miserable, he is still a GUY, he still a celebrity with his own fanz, and he is still fr a america style background. So I don realli care or blame anyone.
i agree with cross_devil. From the momment the photos were published, it occured to me that it was just another scandal. Looking at past precendents such as paris, cameron diaz, they are still doing well in the entertainment industry. Those photos taken, were indecent (in the view of asian society). However, he should not be sorry. These photos were take in privacy and both parties (edison and the various actresses) were all willing parties. The press and media and those who stole the photos from him should be sorry to the society for spreading such indecent images to the public which includes the young. Matured adults like us, will most probably treat it as another form of entertainment. In essence, I am still a edison supporter, I do not feel that he has any wrong in this incident! All the best for hollywood, I look forward to more of your acts!
Cheap sentiment cheap drama……..he’s “sorry” so what about all the lives and careers that he has destroyed with his documented s@xual escapades
He apology for being careless only bah.
Now he got a chance to go Hollywood to make homemade s@x videos for us to see hahaha
Edison is hunting britney and paris hilton now LOL
his acting was too good to go to Hollywood.
i think the best place for him is to Japan to be a p@rn star…
I don’t think that he is apologise. He never says that he feel regrets to what has done. He’s only felt regrets to be leaked the photos. How he’s cheated or treated each gals? He was lying to them, I think.
Oh, come on, he was too stress to being look sincere in his apology. I say, he’s sincere enough. Well, i think he will be better off in the Hollywood since he got the cute face and quite a talent as well. Afterall, the citizens of Hong Kong are not so forgivable in his actions. I hope he will be more lucky once he is in the Hollywood line and I’m still his d@mn SUPPORTER!! Edison rules!!
No way, I’m the first to post a comment, HECK YEAH
