He has not admitted his responsibility. He blamed …
Comment posted Edison Chen Apologizes and Leaves Hong Kong Entertainment by Wolf.
He has not admitted his responsibility. He blamed the people who stole the pictures. He does not realized that he is responsible because he has done nothing to protect those pictures from being stolen.

I just watched the apology and I thought it was pretty lame. For 95% of it, he didn’t seem sincere and sound and look like he’s just reading a script. However, it’s sad that he and Gillian has to apologize or explain in the first place because they didn’t do anything wrong. Edison is as much a victim as the female stars involved. They might be accountable for their public behaviours, (because of they are celebrities) but they are definitely not accountable for their (legal) private behaviours to anyone. Is having s@x with your girlfiends or dates a crime? So he happens to be popular with girls, is that a crime? So he likes to keep pictures of their s@x lives, is that wrong? We have to understand that just because so many girls sleep with him doesn’t make him a bad person. The girls themselves were not forced to sleep with him. Even if Edison is the playboy type who date so many girls, perhaps at the same time, is that really our business? Besides, who is to say that the girls themselves are not also dating more than one person, or I’m sure most of them have had their fair share of boyfriends, no less than Edison.
Remember, Their privacy got invaded because someone stole these pictures and uploaded them for the world to see, and suddenly it became everybody’s business. Let’s not forget that we’re looking at stolen pictures.
In any case, it’s their misfortune that their private lives got stolen and uploaded. Those who stole and uploaded them are ultimately the ones to blame, and the only ones to blame. The power of the media and general human curiousity didn’t help of course. Most of the HK citizens who are complaining are also responsible for driving what has been a non-stop one month front page media coverage of all of this which is making the whole thing worse than it really is every single day.
May be he’s really sorry about this scandal.
He is not the one who is guilty in this scandal.
we can’t say that he is wrong.
I don’t think that he should say sorry to the girls in the pic.
because they privately didn’t mind when they agree to took a pic like that.
I think edison just need to say sorry to his family and all other people but not the girls.
okay… so some of you people actually think he was sincerely sorry? i’ve never really liked edison anyway, so i couldnt care less about this stuff. im (in a way) doubting his apologies, although i do agree with some of you that he didnt do anything wrong, that is of course you seem to think that taking pictures during s@x is wrong. as for what he did with the laptop… does that guy have brains? maybe he couldve thought about the pics being uploaded onto the internet before giving his laptop to the IT workers?? wow… how retarded (no offense).
i do think he deserves a second chance, because all people make mistakes, no matter how serious the problem is. he didnt kill, he didnt take life; all he did was take pictures and unintentionally got them onto the internet. its not his fault. even if i dont like him, i think he should be forgiven by society.
think about it, guys… he didnt do anything wrong directly.
(peace again, dudes.)
Did Paris Hilton or Pamela Anderson apologize to the American people when their S@X video came out??
I feel sorry for Edison. He shouldn’t apologize to anybody. What happened in his bedroom seem to be consensual between the ladies and him. It’s just too bad it got circulated all over the internet. There’s nothing wrong with what they did in those pictures…
well as far as i know, even if you delete all you pictures into the recycle bin, or even formatted ur hard disk b4 you sent it to repair, there are softwares that can be used to recover all these details.
For eg. if you delete pics using recycle bin, it is just like deleting away the page number of a book. the content is still intact in somewhere inside you harddisk. Likewise for reformatting. I can tell you that i can buy 2nd hard disk from ebay or anywhere and recover important document or passwords from the previous owner.
The only way to solve is to use a hammer and destroy you harddisk. I am not joking. You can make some researches on what i have said.
I think Edison just wants to show off his ‘conquests’ to the world. After all, would you or me send a laptop for repair knowing very well that it contains private n^de pics ? What’s more being a so-called celebrity, the repair men will snoop even harder for pics in his laptop. He is just a young punk who can’t think, and has low intelligence in managing his life matters as far as sending laptop for repair. He could have asked someone trusted to do it, or at least be there while the repair is being done. Dont understand how he became famous & so sought after by the commercials in the first place. Havent seen any of his films, songs or advertisements yet. Never liked Edison or the girls involved anyway !!! Serves you right Edison !!!
hey xso any kid who knows about computers knows that backup is important. So if Edison wants to ’save’ the pics for his own viewing pleasure, he would have done a backup and deleted the ones on his laptop before he sends for repair. Shows that good looks don’t normally come with brains. Such an idiot and a loser, anyway he be better off in hollywood making b-grade flicks
I agree that he didn’t do anything wrong, other than not protecting his private collections. I guess some of these women felt cheated on, because at the times that he took those pictures, he was dating and filming multiple women, and they all thought that they were his only one.
hi tech… thumb drives and hard disks are as risky too… u can drop a thumb drive or have to repair ur hard disk , isnt it the same.
I just happened to be visiting Hong Kong the past few weeks, when this scandal broke out. Anyone who hasn’t seen the pics were considered “out.” I think Edison’s apology statement came too late, if he had came out sooner, things wouldn’t have turned out as bad.
I never liked Edison in the first place. I think his statement above is hypocritic. He has been planning to come out of the HK entertainment industry for a long while, he has made two Hollywood movies already as second or third class actor, before the scadal. After the scandal, when he was “seeking his soul” in the U.S. he was actually meeting with more Hollywood moviemakers. I guess it’s not such a big deal in a more open-minded market as the U.S. And, people tend to be forgetful.
He never cared about the HK entertaiment industry anyway, as he hasn’t produced much in the last couple years anyway, after he started his own clothing company and recently became one of the youngest CEO.
Wow, I’m glad I was born American Chinese. Hong Kong got their p@nties in a bunch, what a bunch of crybaby sissies. Its not even Edison’s direct fault. He did nothing wrong.
What lesson is he talking about? He didn’t specify…must mean taking pictures during s@x lol; Didn’t know that doin the do in your room with girls and addin some spice is illegal. Sucks to be you guys, s@x must be boring with Hong Kongers too
Well, i never knew about this guy named Edison. All I know about is just about the some of the Ladies just like Twins.What on earth was he thinking before sending the laptop to the IT guy? And this IT guy, was he, his own personal IT fixer or what>? or just a quack fixer? come on, lets face it, boy!!! We are in the age of techno fast lane and even sitting in your home right behind your desktop, you can be hack, then there you go like – bingo – I’m here, take my pc with all the secrets on!!!Well, i ASLO go kinky closer to just take a quick look and i never saw him with like say 2 or more ladies.so WAS LIKE THIS GUY was really a big tyme player huh. Wow, So why should you come out of your shells shedding some hard skinned crocodile tears????? I wonder if he was even a winner as far as i will be concerned. I feel for him anyway, but always a player, always hardcore, so why was he cracking up!!! And i reckon most of the pretty ladies did not know about each other, so now, they can consult themselves.
Peace
I like him to speak in English so that his international fans would understand what he talk about (I am 1 of them).
It is not fair to blame Edison only. Those women (Gillian, Cecila, Bo Chan and many more… )who slept with him got sympathy from the media and HK people. I already saw all the pictures and did not believe Gillian, Bo Chan, Cecila and other women involved in this S@X scandal would do such S@X things.I felt nausea. I hate those women and feel sorry for Edison. Those promiscuous women got away from the spotlight and are still making movies and doing advertising.Meanwhile Edison has to apolize to the public and disappear from the showbiz.
BEAUTY COMES FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
EDISON DOES NOT HAVE TO APOLIZE TO HIS PARTNERS.
EDISON IS NOT GUITY
No one is perfect. Everyone of us make mistake. Just move on. We have worst people on earth compare to Edison
Firstly: he has nothing to be sorry about other than that someone stole the pictures off his laptop. It’s not a crime to take pictures, or to have s@x if it’s all consensual.. Although some people seem to think it is.
As for those idiots saying that “he and the girls should take the consequences”: get back in your uptight, self righteous boxes you f**king hypocrites!
about the speech, as this matter got pretty huge and has involved the authority and law, it will be too hard for a perv. Like him to address to. he definitely needs a pro to write him this speech in order to carefully select the words to be announced to the public so that he would not be held against his words in the future. Its pretty common for celebs or politician when they address the public. Whether he is sincere or not, for now he is just a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar..aww..
For those loyal fans, i mean I don’t hold anything against his ability, a good celeb. i mean d@mn I like gansta music from eminem or grunge from kurt but i don’t sniff nor sl!t my wrist or put a g^n to my head. so stop being naive and just because you’re his fan, don’t condone everything he does.
And I don’t think he will disappear from the screen forever, this thing is temporary, like a f@rt. abrupt and stinks the air for seconds, then it all shall disappear. So chill out.
the whole thing to me is an interesting story with an “proper ending”. i only know this guy via reading his stories in newspaper since last week. it caught my attention cos it happened in my home town where i grow up. unlike hollywood i really dont expect this kind of news originated from there. does he really feel sorry? who cares. at the end of the day he has done what he is expected to do so as to symbolically mark an end to the story. but i guess a lot of lads would feel sad if he really disappears from the screen forever.
edison should apologise and he did, regardless wether the photos were stolen nor circulated by himself, or even with or without his consent for the matter.there is no exception (even akon had to come out a wirte an apolgy song for his misbehaving.) Although the photos is stolen as claimed, privacy is the lamest excuse a person could come out with. privacy is t be honored, but yet, a sin if still a sin, regardless if it is done behind doors or in bright daylight. so should drug abuse be honored as well because it is done behind doors? we have all the rights to judge their character, as we gave them the limelight, look at the other way around, just because he is a celeb, it doesnt mean he deserved to be pitied more than an ordinary person. yes, humans doesnt not run away from making mistakes, but once you’ve done it, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. i mean, would you let me get away if i slept with your wife and say “oh im sorry, it was supposed to be private?”
stop pitiing him, pity the child lucas, and his borken down family for his stupid act of lust.
one thing, breaking the rules is fun until your’re caught, and when you are, d@mn it sucks, but you got to bite the bullet buddy. you deserve it.
The people who are judging him on his grammar are CLEARLY the ones that cannot read, write or spell English – words and/or sentences.
Honestly, does it really matter who wrote the freakin’ speech, as long as he came out – spoke what he thought, how he felt, and although I don’t believe he should have apologised, he did.
As a celebrity, they deserve their privacy just as much as everyone else. They have families, have mothers, have feelings too – who gives us the right to judge? Just because they’re celebrities and have to face the public more than you or me ever have to, does not give us the right to judge them as a person or character.
Take a look at yourself before judging others – you have probably done things that you don’t want other people knowing too, so give them a break!
HOPE THAT ALL THE STARS THAT INVOLVED IN THIS SCANDAL WILL CONTINUE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IN HONGKONG. AS THEIR CONTRIBUTION IS GREAT, THEN WE CAN DENY ALL OF THEM. WE SHOULD SYMPATHIZE WITH EDISON CHEN AS HE HAS TO SUFFER A LOT FROM THE EMOTIONAL SHOCKS IN THE PAST. I VOTE FOR GILLIAN, TOO. PLEASE GIVE THEM THE CHANCE TO RESTART.
It’s totally scripted. “heal myself and to search my soul”? Such an uncommon way to express one’s true guilt and apology. Frankly, how sorry could he be if he didn’t even say “I’m Sorry” in Cantonese during this one and only one press conference??? No pity to Edison and other victims except for their family and loved ones. Edison and others chose to have these pictures taken, so they should take full responsibility regardless of what happens.
I hate him because he has destroyed career of many pretty girls and he has probably changed their livies for ever. I thank him for now I can take out those pictures and see pretty girls I like, right down to the very bottom not just in my dreams, but in my hands. So eventhought he is such a SOB, he has done something for me.
Edison was also a victim of this scandal. First of all I believe those pictures that were taken by him, is with consent of his female partners. as he have said, those (photos) were for his personal consumption and was not intended for distribution. Taking picture of your partner in intimate poses are fine as long as privacy is maintained. Sadly in his case, his private collection got exposed to the public.
Hey Sam, before you make fun of Edison’s speech, pls work on your own grammar first. I found at least 6 grammar errors in your comment…your writing is worst than a second grader. Lastly, let me teach you one word…”stupidity.”
we are all human, everyone will make mistakes. Edison is no exception. This is really his private affair. Let’s look forward and as he said, a lesson to be learnt.
When the file has been stolen, this is really out of his control. e.g. can you stop your wallet being stolen after it has been stolen.
Boy what a loser. Edison makes millions of dollars a year, bed every female in the HK movie industry, doesn’t mean he has brains. If he is such a hi tech guy, why save his ‘personal’ pics of him and his conquest in his computer. Hasn’t he heard about portable hard disk or thumb drivers? He probably did it to get caught and leave the HK movie industry so that he be finding something better in US. a publicity syunt perhaps. Someone forgotten to give him brains.
i think he’s sincere with his apology and he admits causing the pain to everyone involved. he’s paying the high price alright by leaving the entertainment industry with an image stained, broken trusts from showbiz friends, and disgusts from the public. i think it’s the worst punishment…
Edison is a hero!!! Long live Edison!!! Who cares about engrish or language when you are making so much money? Or was… proper English was preached because it helps you get a job and earn a living… when you are already earning a living and making lots more than your average joe, why then should you care if your Engrish is 100% or not?!?!?! only the jealous souls who earn $7/hr are complaining and are green with envy!!!
hey Sam(comment#63), your engrish is pretty terrible too LOL. Learn some better english yourself before you make fun of edison’s english. Moron. you can’t even use the word “then” correctly, yes it’s “then” not “than”.
Edison didn’t do anything wrong,why so much blame and hates on him ? He has every right to shoot, it’s his private matter, non of our business…he just actually need more careful. His apologize for being not careful is enough. Why should he apologize to all the hongkong people ? He is the victim, his private life being abused… Is hongkong people all the saint ?
