Rumors that Hilary Tsui (徐濠縈) is a drug addict quickly turned into a divorce drama over the last two weeks. In a press conference held on December 7, Eason Chan (陳奕迅) and Hilary Tsui presented their loving side and united against a common enemy: Kenny Wee (黃浩). The couple slammed the restaurateur for spreading false rumors that Hilary was one of five celebrities who were taped taking drugs at Kenny’s restaurant. “All the rumors are false,” Eason said sternly. Hilary produced photos of the party held in October 2011, which included the attendance of Sam Lee (李璨琛) and Grace Ip (葉佩雯). From the photos, it was clear that there were no security cameras set up in the VIP room, which proved Kenny’s claim of the taped drug incident to be a lie. In the press statement, Hilary denied that she had a habit of taking drugs. Eason and Hilary said they did not have any arguments over the drug scandal, refuting rumors that the couple was on the brink of martial collapse. Eason and Hilary were extremely angry that the drug scandal implicated their 8-year-old daughter, Constance. The couple was used to the compromise of their own privacy since they were celebrities, but they asked the press to not push boundaries by harassing their family members, especially their young daughter. “This will severely impact a child emotionally and physically.” The paparazzi’s tactics had scared Constance, who had to undergo counseling. Hilary added, “With the incident blowing up to such proportions, I feel very helpless. Although I did not respond to the fabricated rumors, that does not mean that I have done it!” Asked why she had to circulate a mocking comment on Kenny Wee as “a human piece of trash” on Instagram, Hilary said, “Why did I post it? Actually it was my friends who posted it. It’s not my fault. And that was my private account. You have to go ask Edison Chen (陳冠希).” Will Press Charges Against Kenny Wee After consulting with their lawyer, Eason Chan and Hilary Tsui have issued legal action and filed a complaint at the Press Council of Hong Kong for libel.
