Cantopop singer and actor, Eason Chan has declared war on the media. Recently, the media has been making a huge deal about his personal life and has started numerous rumors about him- including scandals about him and Kay Tse. Now, he is extremely furious and upset that his young daughter, Constance, has been hounded and harassed by the paparazzi. The paparazzi have taken it too far this time, concerning Chan and he has responded to the conflicts stating: "Are they going to make me stop working (as a singer)?" During an interview, the father could hardly suppress his anger about his daughter being followed and her personal safety. He admitted that he even fell ill because of how angry he was. When suggested to hire bodyguards in order to protect his daughter, Chan snapped, "Is this a good solution? Am I very rich to do so?" He also mentioned that his wife Hilary Tsui is also worried about their daughter and got only more agitated when reporters probed him whether he will arrange for her daughter to move somewhere else as a temporary measure. "Why do I have to give in [to the paparazzi]? What kind of society is this?" The rumours plaguing him and Kay Tse haven't let down, either. Present together at two events within the same day, both of them deliberately avoided any eye contact whatsoever, although at a canvassing award ceremony in the evening, Tse was spotted smiling at Chan occasionally through the night and voted for him. Chan, however, did not cast any votes for Tse and avoided all eye contact despite her flashy dress. He later stated in an interview, "I've already avoided [Kay Tse]. But whether I avoid her or not, the paparazzi will still write the same thing. They are making news out of nothing, what is there to be scared of? I've already said it many times, only if the rumours are true, then will they affect my image. I'm not afraid of people speculating the results for the award ceremony at the end of the year, because that means friendly competition is present." He added that he would rather have rumours focus on him than have his daughter followed closely by the press. "Do they want to make me quit my job? Just like the Four-Heavenly Kings and other seniors [who stopped singing all together], I will really choose to stop working!"Credits: insing & yesaznmedia-news |
