Eason Chan and Hilary Tsui deny drug rumours
Singer Eason Chan complains of intimidation after wife caught in storm over restaurant video
Canto-pop singer Eason Chan Yik-shun and wife Hilary Tsui Ho-ying have denied she is a drug abuser, amid claims a video was shot showing celebrity drug-taking at a restaurant.
Their denial followed reports that drugs were taken at a dinner 14 months ago attended by Tsui and friends at the restaurant in Wan Chai run by businessman Kenny Wee Ho, husband of Suki Chui Shuk-man, a 2006 Miss Hong Kong contestant.
Chan's lawyer sought to file a complaint of criminal intimidation in connection with the affair.
"Tsui Ho-ying has never taken part in any drug meal … She did not take any drugs or hug and kiss anyone during the dinner," the couple said yesterday. At a press conference attended by her husband and his manager, Tsui said she was innocent.
Tsui said she was not being evasive in not speaking out before. "I wasn't evading … I was only unwilling to respond to untruthful reports. That doesn't mean I have done the [alleged] acts."
Eason Chan said neither of them knew Wee.
