Gillian Chung : I Am Sorry

11 February 2008


Gillian Chung (鍾欣桐) today appeared for first time in public since the sex photos scandal started a fortnight ago.

Flanked by her Twins' bandmate Charlene Choi (蔡卓妍), Gillian addressed the media in a one minute statement, after an annual fans event to mark Chinese New Year.

"This incident has caused a great deal of turmoil and hurt for me and the people around me," said Gillian.

"I was naive and foolish in the past, but I have grown up," said Gillian, without explicitly admitting that she is in some of the sex photos that sparked the controversy, some of which show a woman, purported to be her, engaged in sex acts with a man, purported to be Edison Chen (陳冠希).

"I would like to thank my company, family and friends for their concern and support," she added.

She continued: "I am sorry for the effect that this incident has had on society and the public."

She finished: "I will continue to work hard and to face up to life's challenges. I thank the media for their concern. And I thank the fans for their unwavering support."

Although she had begun her statement with a smile and by saying "Hello everyone, Happy New Year," by the end she appeared to be fighting back tears.

The fans event was at a restaurant at the Emperor Group Centre, Wan Chai, where her record company is also based. Reporters had started gathering by around 10AM.

Gillian arrived at around midday, in a seven-seater car that had curtains covering the windows. Her car had been shadowed by six cars full of reporters since it set off from her home.

The fans event started at 1PM, and the statement to press was made at about 2:25PM.

Over a hundred fans turned up to support Twins. Over 200 members of the press tussled for space inside and outside the venue.

Gillian left at around 2:45PM, bound for home, in the same car she had arrived in. The curtains remained drawn. Her car was followed by around twenty cars full of press.

Gillian Chung : I Am Sorry... that i got caught.

[oldtimememory]

thier sex life is none of our biz. Leaking of those photos is not their fault. but since the truth has come out that Ah Gill is not as innocent as she's been trying to pretend, it's just my view that she should stop that. As can be seen from the press conf, her attitude hasn't changed that i find most disgusting.

[vivianyow]

You are just committing the fallacy of composition. Don't be ridiculous. YOu're the one who is so bigoted, not being receptive and looking at things one-sided.

[vivianyow]

and gill were acting as if we are harebrained. We are not really mad about her in taking those pix, we are mad about her not being HONEST & SO HYPOCRITICAL.

besides, speaking of SUBJECTIVE, referring someone as an IDIOT just shows that you're not being open-minded and rational. FAKER and ACTOR are not correlated. LOOK up into the dictionary and don't get confused. IF this is so, are you saying that all GREAT ACTORS AND ACTRESSES, including tony leung or even johnny depp, are hypocrites?

[vivianyow]

why wasn't cecilia being criticised? coz she ADMITTED. YOu can tell gill never meant to be SINCERE. her so-called "press conference" was meant to save her effing career. Yea she has done nothing wrong about that and she shouldn't be even apologizing. Afterall it's your PRIVATE LIFE. we don't gve a shit. IF you're not even being honest to the public, how can you be so NAIVE into thinking that the public is gona embrace you agen. afterall we're humans, we have BRAINS.

[vivianyow]

OH PLEASE CMON.

have you ever wondered why is she the only one being criticised?

she doesn't even want to admit she had taken those pictures as if she were FORCED to do so whereas evidence is clear that she is the one who literally STRUCK POSES in front of the cam. Why didnt she admit it? because the EEG boss just sat right aside. she needs her fans to support her career. she is not going to ruin it. and she LIED. LIED SO BADLY that even a 3-yr-old can tell she is a double dealer.

[shingerE]

you should at least acknowledge that her acting capacity was able fool you and the public for such a long time. Furthermore, if you had pictures like that sweeping into everyone's computer, how would you feel? Would you be all cheery about it and smile about it? I think you will find that it is only natural to have at least a little weep about this issue. It doesn't help for others to call her a faker and a bitch because she is crying about her circumstances...

[shingerE]

um... I'm sorry, you're a bit of an idiot.

you only look at things with one point of you.

your views on this innocent girl have be shaped by people in the world who are always looking for any single opportunity to make personal attacks to gill.

You know what? You people always say that she can't act for crap and that she has no talent. Well let me ask you, how can she be a faker if she's such a crap actor? If she was really such a faker, then I think

[shingerE]

um... she didn't take pictures because she wanted to remember the experience. It's because Edison wanted the pictures. Man, if you liked someone to the extent that you would do anything for them, taking pictures of yourself having sex is nothing. That is the whole reason why she said she was so naive and stupid, because she trusted that Edison would keep them private. She loved him so much, and gave him so much trust, but he abused it...

[skateboardsrock2008]

I know, and I agree. I thought it through so many times, and I think that its their private life, and people don't actually need to care about what they do! Its their life! The people are just so nosy about everything!

[methyllithium]

No.

[4EVERKONE]

Those reporter are like animals dying to get the lastest news....I mean come on...stop being bitchy about other people bussiness..that her private life...anyhow..Support Twins.....No Matter What....
