Fallout continues from celebrity nude photos scandal
Pop idol Fiona Sit Hoi-kei was hit by a bottle thrown during a Mong Kok charity event yesterday while fellow singer Gillian Chung Yan-tung of pop duo Twins failed to show up at a performance at the Dragon Centre in Sham Shui Po, amid reports net users might boycott the star.
Sit was hit with a flying bottle of herbal tea as she collected money from the audience at the Mong Kok event. Police were called to the second-floor venue at Langham Place after a man hurled a bottle at the performer at about 3.30pm. The man, surnamed Lin, 27, was detained by security guards and later arrested.
'The bottle hit a staff member of the event organisers and then bounced onto Fiona's head as she was asking members of the public to donate money,' said Peter Wong Chi-bun, Sit's manager.
'Her forehead is swollen. It was very chaotic.'
Sit reportedly broke into tears after she was struck and was taken to Kwong Wah Hospital from where she was discharged after treatment.
