Edison Chen Attacked Chi-ling Lin Online And the Internet Became Investigators

After his notorious escapades came to light (all because of a laptop) back in 2008, we all thought we’ve heard the last of Edison Chen.

After all, not only did he earn the ire of all diehard fans of those beautiful girls, he also managed to anger the triad, with them reportedly offering HK$500,000 (S$86361) as a reward for chopping off his hand.

He was dropped from advertisements and his stint on the movie The Dark Knight downgraded to a brief cameo. He issued a public statement stating that he would “step away indefinitely” from the entertainment industry.

So we were pretty surprised when he resurfaced in a pretty explosive manner. Here’s what happened.

Insulting Lin Chi-ling on Weibo

On 27 July 2016, Chen uploaded a photo on his Weibo account, with an offensive caption: This B**** is so ugly man. She smells like s***.

He also mentioned that her success wasn’t because of her talents but her “tricks” instead and warned that she wouldn’t like him angry.

The internet was, of course, taken aback but netizens rallied around Lin and supported her on the internet sphere.

That was when he took down his first post before attempting to (poorly) explain himself in a second update.

“Why did I scold her? She knows what she has done and I’ve already warned her. Just ask her. You can say I’m wrong but in my opinion, she’s the one that’s in the wrong.”

It seems that netizens aren’t appreciative of his comments because he sent another update via his Weibo account approximately one hour later.

“In the end, all truths (will) reveal themselves. If you don’t like me, don’t follow me on my social media.”

Lin Chi-ling’s reaction

Lin’s personal assistant stated that the actress wasn’t aware of the reason for the dispute.

Lin reportedly said that she does not know Chen on a personal basis.

Theories behind the feud

Netizens were, of course, intrigued and several eagerly tried to investigate the dispute between Lin and Chen.

One of the more popular theories is Lin has offended a close friend of Qin Shupei, the rumoured dating partner of Chen.

Another theory given was that Lin has offended Chen by rejecting him, while others suspect that it’s business-related.
