Eric Tsang gets support from fellow artistes
HONG KONG: Since the sexual harassment claim against him, many of Eric Tsang’s good friends in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have stepped forward to support him and vouch for his integrity.
Simon Yam said, “I believe Eric. He respects women. Whether male, female, new, young, popular, or unpopular artists, he is very willing to help friends. I don’t know about other things…I didn’t see (the news) so I won’t talk about them. Anyway, the Eric I know is a good person.” Asked if he pitied Eric since he has been embroiled in the gossip for so long, Simon replied, “He knows how to handle the matter. We are not the involved parties so there are many things we don’t know.”
Toby Leung believed in Eric’s integrity. “He is like my godfather. I’m very certain of his personality. I will always support him. Many artistes are plagued by false rumours and they need their family and friends’ support. So we will definitely support him!”
Many younger artistes regard Eric as a “Dad” in the entertainment industry. Charmaine Sheh said, “Words stop with the wise. The innocent will remain innocent. I support Dad!”
Married couple Chin Ka Lok and Angela Tong, who have been good friends with Eric for many years, fully believed in Eric. Angela said, “We support Eric 100 per cent. We know him very well and he will not do things that overstep boundaries.”
Currently in China, Timmy Hung said he is unaware of the details of Eric’s case. Timmy said, “Now people fabricate news. As artistes, we’re in a (tough situation). The Hong Kong Star Soccer Team loves to play soccer, but the (media) wrote such (vicious) gossip. If there is evidence, then show us. If there’s isn’t any evidence, then don’t slander anyone. There are many irresponsible accusations made online now.”
