Edison Chen embroiled in a fresh controversy
HONG KONG: Edison Chen never seems to stay away from controversies. This time, he’s seeing a married woman.
According to tabloid sources, Edison is currently seeing model Shupei Qin, a 26-year- old married woman from mainland China. Their relationship came to light when the paparazzi spotted them locking lips in public.
Shupei Qin made her debut in the model industry in 2006 at 16 years old. In 2010, she entered the world’s top 50 models list. In 2012, she worked as a runway model for Victoria’s Secret. She married Leigh Gow, general manager of the Huayi Brothers Fashion Group, that same year in Australia. Shupei and Gow are estranged and are going through a divorce.
On Tuesday, Gow posted an angry rant to his social media, calling Edison and Shupei as “a couple with no sense of morality at all.” In his rant, he implied that Shupei had cheated on him with Edison before the couple became estranged.
Gow said, “Why did I choose to be silent? Why still respect the people who do not deserve to be respected? Also, when did cheating become such a fashionable statement? P.S. the divorce isn’t finalised yet. Why do you want my blessing?”
Edison, who was spotted leaving a hotel with Shupei on Tuesday afternoon by Apple Daily reporters, was asked to comment on the tabloid report. Edison shouted, “I have many girlfriends! Just look at my Instagram!” He then used his own phone to record the reporters, and even tried to kiss a reporter on the cheek. He cursed and flashed rude hand gestures.
After the encounter, Edison shared a picture of himself wearing a T- shirt that read, “( expletive) We Do What We Want” with the caption, “People keep asking me to stand up and say something but I’m out of breath… read my T-shirt and get my reply… (by the way, I’m) dating girls in 15 different cities so stop hating me.”
