Edison Chen doesn’t just have photos of starlets but also including wives of rich Hong Kong businessmen - Gillian might be fired from EEG?



Due to the unfortunate passing of Lydia Sum early yesterday morning, Edison Chen’s face for the first time in three weeks, was off the headlines of various newspapers. With no further action by “Kira” or any headway made by the police in the past few days, more speculation filled the papers just to keep the scandal going until Edison mades his statement later this week.

According to the latest Southern Metropolis Weekly, Edison Chen doesn’t just possess photos of fellow female stars but also including wives of rich Hong Kong businessmen and possibly even daughters from well-to-do families.

Edison was undoubtedly a “playboy” in his own league and once wagered with a director that he had nude photos of female starlets. The director didn’t believed him and in the end lost 100 thousand HK dollars to Edison.

Edison is also reportedly to have been “hurt” by love in the past which resulted in his behavior of photographing every female he has been with and sharing it with his friends. According to a close associate of Edison, he would often pull out every trick in his book to get them to do what he wants them to. It includes buying them Cartier couple bracelets (almost every female star has them), sweet talking, etc. “He knows what women want, and their love for branded stuff. He would always get them “limited” edition stuff and then sweet talk them, for example, ‘You’re my princess’. After all that, every girl thinks they are really that great and would then succumb to whatever he requests.”

With Edison’s image taking a battering and his non-action in addressing the situation, his sponsors are apparently very unhappy with him and already, five companies have cancelled their contracts with him and might file lawsuits against him for violating the terms of his contract. Facing the prospect of unemployment and lawsuits, Edison is heading for potential financial meltdown.

It hasn’t been any better for Gillian Chung either. She has become the “target” of Hong Kong citizens since her comeback after the scandal broke.

Gillian made her second public appearance with fellow Twins member, Charlene Choi yesterday at an EEG event. They were the last to perform and did what they were suppose to do. This was despite TVB receiving a record number of complaints over her appearance during a charity event on Sunday.

Many netizens have been sticking up products that Gillian endorsed and asked fellow netizens to boycott buying them until the day Gillian announces her intention to leave the entertainment industry. According to sources, EEG is only testing how the “market” is reacting to Gillian and if this continues to go on without an end in sight, they might release her from her contract.

Their manager has denied this and said that she is just trying to get through this testing period and do her best. Meanwhile, Gillian will appear on another show tonight with Charlene because their song was No.1 on the charts.
