Gillian Chung Yan-tung wants an explanation and apology from Edison Chen Koon-hei over the sex-photo scandal that drove her to the brink of suicide, even though she doubts she will ever see him again.

'I've been under so much pressure. I want an apology or some kind of consolation, but there's nothing,' Chung said, echoing remarks made earlier by fellow victim Cecilia Cheung Pak-chi.

Cheung had accused Chen of failing to come forward with a personal apology to the four women who were photographed in intimate acts with the pop star. The images were later leaked onto the internet.

Chung said she was deeply bothered that Chen, now overseas, had not tried to contact her.

'What he said in public does not matter. But at least, he should have talked to us ... When it happened, when I wanted to make sure what had actually happened, of course he was the one to talk to. But I could not find him. I felt so helpless.'

Chung made the comments on TVB Pay Vision's show Be My Guest, previewed to the media last night. She said Chen had been stringing her along on and off for nearly five years, ever since her showbiz career began in 2000 as one half of the pop duo Twins, a brainchild of the Emperor Entertainment Group.
