Benny Chan escapes jail! Rose Chan forgives him for lewd groping

Earlier, Benny Chan's scandalous groping of 19 year old actress, Rose Chan, while witnessed by a blase Joe Ma (馬德鐘) in Hengdian, China stunned the world. A very public scolding against Benny for his inappropriate behavior, which occurred after drinking too much alcohol, ensued. The drama continued as Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam (冼國林), called Benny Chan a hypocrite and bastard for his actions. Rose Chan filed a police report in Hong Kong over the harassment incident, while Benny Chan took along his pregnant wife, Lisa Chiang (蔣麗莎), to hold a tearful press conference apologizing to Rose; Benny vowed to cut back his alcohol consumption. Yesterday, Benny published an apology statement to Rose in the newspaper, allegedly as a final effort to change her decision to file a police report with the mainland authorities over the incident. Apparently, Benny’s sincerity worked as Sin Kwok Lam announced yesterday that charges will not be pressed against Benny with the mainland authorities.

Sin Kwok Lam: “Benny Chan Is Finally Sincere in His Apology”

After Benny Chan’s public apology in the newspaper, Sin Kwok Lam held a press conference yesterday acknowledging that Benny’s raucous behavior has been forgiven. Sin Sifu said, “Both Benny Chan and I recently became fathers to baby daughters. Perhaps we should not place such a big stress burden on Benny. My wife supports my decision as well. We felt that Benny Chan has already apologized and contributed to charity donations. The incident should end here; there is a satisfactory resolution for all involved parties. He issued a public apology [in both mainland China and Hong Kong] and donated money to a meaningful charitable cause. There is sufficient sincerity [in his apology], thus we decided not to pursue the matter any further. All legal actions will now come to an end!”

Asked how much money Benny Chan had contributed to charity, Sin Sifu did not disclose the amount, but noted that the donation was no less than Joe Ma’s contribution. Sin Sifu added that if Benny Chan, Joe Ma, and Rose Chan were to collaborate together in future projects, such plans will not be intentionally blocked.

Rose Chan’s Psychological Well-Being Considered in Accepting Benny Chan’s Apology

Aside from Benny Chan’s sincerity in his apology, Sin Kwok Lam indicated that if a report were filed with the mainland authorities over the harassment incident, Rose Chan will be summoned for prolonged questioning by the police. Court appearances may also be required. Rose may need to publicly reveal the details of what had occurred on that day. Considering the psychological impact of such requirements on Rose, it was decided to accept Benny’s apology.

In addition, Sin Sifu denied that the acceptance of Benny’s apology was not driven by alleged triad coercion over the matter. Sin Sifu indicated that Rose was willing to accept Benny’s apology and not forced in her decision. Hopefully, the harassment incident will finally come to an end, while earlier legal actions will be canceled.

Rose Chan Sent Her Blessings to Benny Chan

Stepping out of the shadow of the harassment incident, Rose Chan immersed in work and was currently filming movie, Glory Days <光輝歲月>in mainland, China. Her mother, Ronnie, who also acted as her manager, responded, “Thank you for your concern. The incident has been properly handled by Sin Sifu. Rose and I fully agree with his decision and are happy that justice was given to my daughter and me. We agreed to not pursue the matter further.”

In addition, Rose Chan appeared in a Now TV interview, sending her blessings to Benny Chan. Rose said, “The incident is behind us now. For his family and for himself, I hope that he will be a good artist. My mother and I hope that he can do it and send our blessings to Benny, his wife, and baby daughter to have a healthy and happy life.”

Benny Chan Learned His Lesson

Currently filming mainland series, Ji Gong 3 <濟公3>in Hengdian, Benny Chan closely monitored the developments of Sin Kwok Lam’s press conference announcing that Rose Chan will not file a police report in China over the harassment incident. Through his manager, Charlie Lam, Benny replied, “In the afternoon, I received the news that Sin Kwok Lam has publicly accepted my apology. Receiving Sin Sifu, Rose Chan, and her mother’s forgiveness, I am extremely comforted. Once again, I thank Sin Sifu’s generosity! I will never forget this incident and have learned my lesson!”

Acknowledging that he will devote himself to work in the future, Benny was grateful for the public’s concern. “I would like to thank members of the media for their care and support over the last month.” Charlie Lam indicated that Benny arrived in Hangzhou yesterday morning and headed to the temple to place his prayers. Since Benny successfully escaped from a potential lawsuit, it was indeed worth paying a visit to thank the deities!

Joe Ma’s Wild Drunken Photos Surface; Apologizes to Wife for Inconveniences

Since involved in the harassment scandal with Rose Chan (陳嘉桓), Joe Ma’s (馬德鐘) negative news cropped up daily. After rumors that his marriage was failing, a mainland news source claimed that once again, he hugged a woman inappropriately after drinking too much. Regarding this, Joe indicated that the publication recycled an old incident to fabricate the news. Taking this opportunity to apologize to his wife, who was bothered by the media, Joe also announced that he intended to take a vacation with Mrs. Ma to “save” his marriage!

When Oriental Daily confronted Joe regarding the latest news that he got drunk and once again touched a woman inappropriately, Joe explained helplessly that the photos were taken many years ago. “The photos were taken at a celebratory dinner and we played very uninhibitedly. I got very drunk and had to be escorted out by a crew member. In the photograph was a [female] crew member and not an indecent woman. Afterward, I realized that it was improper to get so drunk.” Deeply reflecting upon the sequence of events that have occurred over the last week, Joe Ma decided to decrease his drinking and socializing habits.

Apologizes to Wife

Taking advantage of this opportunity to apologize to his wife, Joe said, “After the publication of recent tabloid news [of the harassment incident], a reporter sought out my wife at her work location. I hope the media cooperates and will not bother my wife!”

Admitting that his wife was upset over the recent scandal, Joe said, “Many people tried to contact and bother her. I hope she will forgive me! I will not go into the details; I hope the unhappy issues are will quickly pass!”

Rumors claimed that Joe will be joining a new company due to his recent scandal. Joe denied the allegations and noted that after completing his current current drama, he will be filming another series. Afterward, Joe and his wife will go on vacation together.

Yesterday’s media reports claimed that Rose had dated numerous men in the past, including Yang Pan Pan’s (楊盼盼) godson. Rose’s manager and mother, Ronnie, as well as Yang Pan Pan’s godson denied these allegations.

Smile returns to Rose Chan

Rose Chan Ka Wun yesterday along with mother and manager Ronnie attended the film WOMAN KNIGHT OF MIRROR LAKE's Taiwan press conference. The Taiwan media was rather concerned about the "molestation incident" and kept asking about it. Rose seemed to be mentally prepared and kept her long missing smile. Was her mood still affected? She choked up and said that she indeed was upset but would continue to work to avoid affecting others. Luckily the company added an assistant to keep her company and hoped that the outside would be able to give her and her family more space. She also said that even after studying Wing Chun for three years she still was more style than substance. "When something terrifying happens, I still wasn't able to respond in time. I would be scared!" Rose revealed after completing work in Hengdian she will head to Yunnan for another film GUONG FAI SHUI YUET with Eric Tsang Chi Wai and Felix Wong Yat Wa. She pointed out that on this trip she wanted to visit the MONGA locations but she did not have time.

Benny Chan cries hard: I was really wrong!; Apologizes to Rose Chan hoping for her forgiveness

Yesterday at 4pm, Benny Chan held a press conference accompanied by his 10 month pregnant wife (Lisa) and his manager. Dressed in a black suit and tie, Benny had a desolated expression, while he helped his wife to her seat and showed how good of a husband he is. Soon after, his manager made the opening speech, Benny held onto his wife's hand as he started his confession: "Regarding the unpleasant event that happened to Ms. Rose Chan last week in Hengdian, here I would like to say with all my heart...(big sigh) sorry." Following his apology, Benny did a 90 degree bow.

Then Bowie sat back down and continued: "I admit that day I did drink too much, my actions crossed the line and were inappropriate. Here, I admit that I was really wrong. (becomes emotional and tears forming) I really didn't mean to! (sighs) I didn't mean to hurt Rose. I know the incident, this time, has cause her embarrassment and unhappiness, here I apologize to her loving family and friends. Because of my unintentional mistake, I drank too much and caused so much trouble to her, making people that love her worry and unhappy, here I want to say sorry to them."

Benny stressed he felt regretful after the incident and did not forget to apologize to his wife, family, friends and fans. When he mentioned his family, Benny's tears came running down as he emotionally shouted: "I was really wrong!" At this moment, his wife Lisa, who was initially calm, she started tearing up as well and handed a tissue to her husband. She also patted his back to comfort him.

After sobbing for about 30 seconds, Benny puts away his emotions and continues: "I really regret it, I am an adult and still so playful. I don't know what I can do to compensate for my wrongdoings. The most fortunate is that I got my wife's forgiveness and trust. She gave me the chance to change and start fresh again, (sobs) so I can become a responsible father and husband that is willing to change. From here on, I promise everyone that I will put great effort into quitting drinking. I will go see the doctor and if the doctor feels its necessary for me to go through treatments to quit drinking, I am more than willing to accept. I really want to cut off all relations with alcohol."

Benny said he has already learned a lesson and will reflect on his actions. He apologizes to Rose Chan once again: "I sincerely apologize to Rose Chan again. Please forgive me." Following his apology, Benny stood up once again and bowed. Then he continued: "Finally, I want to apologize to two seniors, one is Rose's mother and Master Sin (Rose' mentor/manager), this incident has really got them heartbroken and upset. I am truly the one to blame, here I send them my deepest apologies, sorry." Benny stood up and bowed for the third time.

When Benny sat back down, Lisa continued the statement, she spoke in Mandarin and pleaded for her husband: "This time, Benny really did acknowledged his mistake, I hope friends present today can give him a second chance because he indeed apologized and promised me (the two looks at each other) to really put in effort to quit drinking. For our baby and I, Benny will work hard on his jobs. I hope everyone will forgive him and I hope Little Rose Chan can forgive Benny. Thank you."

The press conference ended with Lisa's statement. Wonder if Benny was just too emotional, but when he was getting up to leave, his legs were shaky and he just couldn't stop crying. His emotions were out of control, he sobs and shouts: "I am sorry to her!" Benny had to get support from his wife, and even his manager, who was supporting Lisa, switched sides and went to support Benny instead.

When leaving, reporters asked if Rose had any drinks at the time and did she resist? Can he give up his attractions for female charms? Does he feel Joe Ma lacks a sense of brotherhood? Benny just whimpered: "I'm not commenting anymore, sorry!"

Not An Innocent, Rose Chan Was Willingly Groped by Benny Chan?

The alleged sexual harassment of Rose Chan (陳嘉桓) by Benny Chan (陳浩民) and Joe Ma (馬德鐘) has taken Hong Kong by storm. In Joe Ma’s press statement yesterday, he strongly denied that he made an assault and indecent harassment of Rose, while noting he reserved rights to pursue legal action for libel. The “Double Perverts’ Molestation” case may have another “truth” to it. Allegedly, Rose Chan was a willing participant in Benny Chan’s groping games in the past!

On the night of the Rose’s sexual harassment, a crew member who had accompanied the stars at the group dinner, karaoke, and barbeque supper, spoke with Apple Daily on an anonymous condition. The insider was baffled why Benny’s groping games led to the incident being reported to the Hong Kong police, “Rose has always been a very warm person and often mingled with the male artists. Since the group dinner at the onset of the evening, Rose drank heavily and allowed the men present to greet her warmly. All along, Rose did not resist.” Eager to clear the suspicion that he was involved in Rose’s sexual harassment, Joe Ma did not deny [the insider’s account of the situation]. After a few seconds of silence, Joe replied, “Anyhow, my wife trusts me a lot.”

The insider familiar with the sexual harassment situation revealed that Rose was very popular among crew members due to her warm personality. “From the group dinner, the karaoke party, to the barbeque supper, everyone was dissatisfied without alcohol; this included Rose Chan as well.” (Rose claimed that she only drank orange juice.) “Nonsense! She drinks all kinds of spirits, ranging from hard liquor to beer! Rose already possessed a warm personality, thus after drinking, her personality grew extremely warm! She will take the initiative to hug a man and whisper in his ear. At the karaoke, Rose already allowed Benny Chan to touch her without any resistance. After going to the barbeque supper, Rose asked her assistant to return to the hotel first. Who knew that Rose considered herself to be hurt that night? All evening, Rose sounded very high and lively; you can tell from her voice that she was not sober.”

Rose Chan and Benny Chan Used to Playing With Each Other

Rose Chan’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam (冼國林), was extremely angry that no one at the barbeque restaurant came to Rose’s rescue when she was touched inappropriately by Benny Chan. The insider sneered, “There were many sober crew members sitting around the table. However, Rose never left her seat or attempted to cry out, ‘No!’ Earlier, Rose was playing with Benny in the same manner and she had no problems with it!” (Rose indicated that she did not run because she was unfamiliar with her surroundings.) “That’s even funnier! There was another female crew member present. If Rose wished to leave, there will be someone to take her. If there was a fire warden, why sit there? If the incident were so severe, then she should have tried to wake up Timmy Hung to help her!”

Joe Ma’s Wife Trusts Him Completely

After the Apple Daily reporter repeated the crew member’s account of the incident, Joe Ma did not deny the details. Joe only stated, “Anyhow, my wife trusts me very much.” (Rose filed a police report in Hong Kong; what do you plan to do?) “The Hong Kong Police has not contacted me yet. I am currently looking for a lawyer. The incident did not affect my daily routine; I am going to work peacefully. Since I already released a press statement, I am not in the position to respond too much over the matter.” (Director Wong Jing 王晶 ridiculed you.) “I have an understanding with Benny Chan and we have been in communication with each other. We know what is going on, but Jing Gor spoke in this manner because he did know the inside story.”

After the exposure of the photos in which Benny Chan and Joe Ma touched Rose Chan inappropriately, Benny and Joe responded separately, which were met with extreme public criticism. Joe’s attempt to extricate himself from the incident and drawing clear boundaries from Benny led to Wong Jing’s ridicule that Joe betrayed his friendship with Benny. Perhaps due to the backlash from netizens, Joe deleted the critical comments.

Rose Chan Ridiculed by Netizen.

The “Double Perverts Molestation” incident became more fascinating as additional details emerged. The two men’s responses were heinous, but some people questioned why Rose Chan, who was trained in Wing Chun martial arts, did not leave the restaurant immediately after the “harassment” occurred. Rose’s explanation was, “I was unfamiliar with the surroundings.” Rose’s naive and stupid comment was quickly ridiculed by numerous Hong Kong women.

Sin Kwok Lam Fires Back: “Benny Chan Is A Bastard!”

Regarding Rose being ridiculed after she was touched inappropriately, Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam, was devastated. Sin Sifu stated angrily, “A 19-year-old was scared witless after she was taken advantage of by the ‘uncles’; the martial arts skills she possessed did not help her as a result.”

After finding out about the harassment incident, Sin Kwok Lam admitted that his first response was anger, “I scolded Rose Chan [expletive] ‘street.’ Who has such a low alertness level in a time of danger?! Afterwards, I knew that I went too far with the scolding; she is still the victim. I analyzed the incident with Rose, who said that she resisted the advances and pushed them away several times. The wild dogs were too wild and her resistance efforts were to no avail.”

As to the mystery why Rose did not leave the restaurant immediately after harassment occurred, Sin Sifu spoke impatiently on behalf of Rose, “First, only Timmy Hung (洪天明) had a car, so she had to wait until after Timmy woke up from his drunken stupor. People who have been to Hengdian know that the roads are barren and the transportation is very inconvenient. Second, a 19-year-old will absolutely resist a stranger’s sexual harassment. However, Rose’s relationship with the men bordered on knowing them and not knowing them that well; she did not know whether to resist or not. Fundamentally, Rose did not know what to do under the circumstances, which is quite normal.”

“Even Tony Wong (黃玉郎) noted that no one dared to cause trouble in a well-lit area. However, the bastard even put his hand inside Rose’s shirt! He went too far! A 19-year-old was scared witless after being assaulted by ‘uncles’ and even though she was trained in Wing Chun martial arts, it was still useless. Under those circumstances, she forgot all the martial arts skills she possessed. At first, the bastard did not admit to this misconduct and said that someone took advantage of him! This is what you call a despicable low-life! I dare say that the people in Hong Kong these days recognize Rose Chan’s name more than Benny Chan! He’s still living off his reputation from his Monkey King days and claimed that someone took advantage of him. That’s crazy!”

Photos Illustrated Sufficient Evidence

On his blog, Joe Ma claimed that he apologized to Sin Kwok Lam and Rose Chan and received their understanding. As to whether Benny Chan and Joe Ma had called him, Sin Sifu stated with certainty, “No, but a lot of people contacted me. All of those people tried to put in good words for the men. They suggested many ways to resolve the matter. Today, I am meeting with Virginia Lok (樂易玲).”

Asked whether he was confident in sending the pervert(s) to prison, Sin Sifu said, “In Yunnan last year, there was a social worker from Hong Kong who sexually assaulted a local girl. The social worker was sentenced to eight years in prison [in Hong Kong]. It proves that if you commit criminal offense overseas, you can also be subject to legal sanctions in Hong Kong. The tabloid photos supply sufficient evidence. The case is now handled by the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Hong Kong Police department.”

Nick Cheung and Artists Blast Benny Chan and Joe Ma for Harassing Rose Chan

Rose Chan (陳嘉桓) was unfortunately sexually harassed by Benny Chan (陳浩民) and Joe Ma (馬德鐘) while in Hengdian, China several days ago. Sunday Magazine’s publication of the photos chronicling the harassment incident ignited angry reactions among Hong Kong celebrities, with Nick Cheung (張家輝) and Simon Yam (任達華) blasting the men’s unscrupulous behavior. Nick Cheung even cursed angrily, “If someone violated my daughter in this manner, I will [expletive] kill him!”

Nick Cheung noted, “My wife, Esther Kwan (關詠荷), and I are artists and also the parents of our daughter. If the harassment did in fact occur, I support the police to step in to handle the situation. If you consider the situation from Rose’s family’s perspective, they must be very hurt.” (If someone violated your daughter in such a manner, what will you do?) “I will [expletive] kill him! Even if you are drunk, you have to be responsible for your behavior!”

Condemned for Lewd Behavior

Nick professed that he did not know Rose Chan, Joe Ma, or Benny Chan well, but felt that Rose was only a young girl. Since she was working in China alone, veteran actors should take care of her. The reporter pointed out that life in Hengdian was dull and there was not much entertainment; thus, actors were easily prompted to “commit wrongdoings.” Nick strongly disagreed, “I also filmed in Hengdian in the past. As to whether you commit wrongdoings or not depend on the person. Please remember to tell everyone that the entertainment industry is not like this!”

Upon learning of Rose being sexually harassed, Simon Yam said, “They acted in such a horrendous manner? If this were true, they need to reflect upon their actions! Drinking can lead to problems! The Monkey King (Benny Chan’s) powers cannot match Wing Chun martial arts. Why don’t you ask Dennis To (杜宇航) to take a few sips and have a few rounds with him!” Simon urged Benny Chan and Joe Ma to issue public apologies to Rose Chan.

After seeing the harassment photos, Eric Tsang (曾志偉) angrily blasted, “That should not have happened! That’s too much! Let me go back and use my Wing Chun powers to knock those guys down!” (You will teach them a lesson?) “When I go to Hengdian next month, I will be sure to do so! Benny Chan often plays wildy, but Joe Ma is not like that! Perhaps he drank some fake wine? Last month, there was a chauffer who drank some fake white wine and he turned violent.”

Eric often got into trouble after drinking too much. Due to his experience, Eric said, “The worst thing is that you do not recall what happened even after you have gained mental clarity. Perhaps now they are immensely regretting their actions.” (But when you are drunk, you do not commit such lewd actions?) “That’s because my health is in a poor condition!”

Bosco Wong (黃宗澤) commented that it was inevitable that artists had to go drinking for networking purposes. He will be careful in avoiding getting drunk. “If I wish to drink, I will stay home to do so. If there are any problems, this will not impact other people.”

When asked to comment on Rose’s harassment incident, Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) indicated that she was unclear about the situation and did not wish to interject. Myolie indicated that she has only encountered gentlemen since entering the industry. Asked whether she was taken advantage of while drunk, Myolie replied, “No!” (How would you react if it happened to you?) “I do not know, but I hope it does not happen to any woman!”

Linda Chung (鍾嘉欣) hoped that Rose’s emotions will return to normal soon. “I have filmed in mainland, China too and there were celebratory banquets. Each time, I have to work early in the morning, thus I did not stay too long at the dinners. Although my alcohol tolerance is not high, no one forced me to drink with them.”

Supporters of Benny Chan and Joe Ma

Benny Chan’s good friend, Evergreen Mak (麥長青), trusted that Benny possessed a good character. “I do not understand why the photos were taken at such a close distance! There were so many people present. If the harassment had indeed occurred, someone should have stopped it.” (Will you urge Benny Chan to drink less?) “He has been drinking less. Last time I saw him, he did not even drink.”

Aimee Chan (陳茵媺) supported that Joe Ma was a gentleman. “Since entering the industry, I have been very lucky. The senior actors have taken good care of me. Joe Ma is a good ‘si hing’ [senior brother]. The actors at TVB are very gentleman and take care of junior artists.” (If Moses Chan (陳豪) acted in such a manner, what would you do?) “Ha ha! It depends on whom he kisses!”

Benny Chan and Joe Ma Caught Sexually Harassing Rose Chan and Apologized for “Playful” Behavior

The day before, 19-year-old Rose Chan (陳嘉桓) was filming in Hengdian, China and met with several Hong Kong artists for dinner. Rose was sexually harassed by Benny Chan (陳浩民) and Joe Ma (馬德鐘), who forcibly kissed and hugged her after drinking too much alcohol. Benny roughly covered Rose’s mouth and his hands allegedly reached down to touch her chest and lower body. Despite Rose’s obvious fear in reaction to Benny’s harassment, Joe Ma sat expressionless while sitting at the same dinner table, as if Benny’s actions were a normal occurrence. Timmy Hung ( 洪天明) was allegedly in a drunken stupor. No one came to Rose’s rescue during the incident. Sunday Magazine published photos of Benny and Joe harassing Rose, which led to shock and anger amongst the public.

Since Rose’s harassment incident was extremely serious, her management company summoned Rose’s immediate return to Hong Kong yesterday to meet with lawyers. Rose will be appearing at a press conference today and file a police report. Rose’s manager, Sin Kwok Wai (冼國林), was extremely angered by the incident and vowed to seek justice for Rose. Arriving at the Hong Kong airport last night, Rose appeared tired and did not respond to the media’s questions.

Initially denying that he forcibly kissed Rose, Benny Chan later relented and issued a formal public apology after Sunday Magazine’s photos chronicling the sexual harassment were published. Joe Ma and Timmy Hung also changed their initial dismissal of the incident after incriminating photos were exposed on Monday morning.

Benny Chan Changes Tune and Apologizes for “Playful” Behavior

When Oriental Daily initially reported upon Rose Chan being forcibly kissed by Benny Chan and Joe Ma while in a drunken stupor, both Benny and Joe dismissed the gravity of the situation. Benny’s initial reaction when contacted by the press was, “What did I do wrong?” (Rose Chan indicated that you apologized to her after kissing her at the restaurant?) “Why did I have to apologize to her? Last night, we went for supper and the boss and assistant were there too. With everyone present, what could I have done?” (Did you hug and kiss Rose Chan?) “No! Why would I do that? The most I could do was whisper in her ear and put my arm around her shoulder. If she feels uncomfortable with such contact, then I will call her and apologize! I did not possess any intentions to treat her disrespectfully!” (Was Benny drunk at the time?) “I drank a little bit, but I was alert. I even drove my motorcycle home!” (Does your wife know what had occurred?) “No, she does not. I am very concerned what the press will write because my wife is about to give birth to our baby. I’m afraid you will scare her into giving birth early!”

However, after news of Benny and Joe’s harassment leaked, Benny apologized in his blog in a neutral manner, “I ​​was wrong; blame it on my overly friendly manner and treating people with a true heart. We were all filming in Hengdian and many friends were present. Perhaps my method of expression was too exaggerated, which led to others’ displeasure and my family and friend’s concern. I would like to say that I was wrong and finally, I would like to thank my wife’s trust. From now on, I will be cautious and beware of who I meet.”

After Sunday Magazine’s photos of Benny harassing Rose were published, the gravity of the situation worsened. Five hours later, Benny left another message on his Weibo, changing his tune and apologizing. Benny emphasized that he did not harbor any illicit intentions towards Rose, “Today I saw the newspaper reports. Due to my playful nature at that moment, it brought upon problems for many people. Rose was scared and Sin Kwok Lam (Rose’s sifu) was angry. I officially apologize to everyone involved in the incident and hope that the reports will not affect Rose’s work. I regard Rose only as a sister and do not have any illicit intentions. I hope Sin Sifu understands this point; I apologize again and again!”

It was understood that Benny Chan’s wife was currently pregnant. Mrs. Chan did not respond to Benny’s alleged sexual harassment of Rose Chan.

Timmy Hung: “Benny Forced Rose to Eat Sheep Penis!”

In yesterday’s Oriental Daily (prior to the exposure of the photos detailing Benny and Joe’s harassment of Rose Chan), eye-witness Timmy Hung (洪天明) noted that he was too drunk at the time. “In my muddle-headedness, Benny laughed and asked whether Rose wanted to eat sheep penis (羊鞭). Rose was shocked and very scared. Benny bit onto the sheep whip and forced her to eat it, perhaps giving the misconception that he was kissing her!” (Did you see Benny touching Rose’s body inappropriately?) “He was supporting her! From what I know, Benny was only playing!”

Timmy was shocked upon seeing the photos chronicling the sexual harassment incident. Timmy pleaded with Rose’s martial arts sifu, Sin Kwok Lam, who was intent on filing a police report, “I had invited Rose to dinner that evening. I also need to assume responsibility for what had occurred.”

Finally, Timmy put in favorable words for Benny Chan, “From what I know, Benny Chan loves to play and he is too zealous. The girl was too naïve and did not know how to block his overtures, thus leading to what had occurred. I hope the incident does not turn into a big scandal…we are all friends. Who has not done anything wrong?”

Joe Ma Closes Blog To Avoid Nasty Remarks

Prior to the exposure of photos documenting Benny and Joe’s harassment of Rose, Joe told Oriental Daily, “I was sharing a secret with Rose Chan.” (Did you touch and kiss her?) “No, I was just sitting close.” (What secret were you sharing?) “We spoke about forcing Benny to eat sheep penis.”

After photos were exposed detailing the harassment incident, Joe changed his tune, “I did drink some alcohol that night, but my mind was alert. Seeing that Rose was unhappy, I asked how she was and did not act without courtesy.” Asked about Benny’s behavior, Joe drew the line clearly, “I do not wish to speak too much about other things!”

Although Joe appeared full of smiles at a car promotional event yesterday with Ana R. and did not appear as if his spirits were dampened by Rose’s sexual harassment claims, Joe abruptly terminated his blog account last night.

A netizen, by the name of “Fortunate Coola” could not withstand Joe Ma’s behavior and left a message on Joe’s wife’s blog, “He went too far! He is like a [expletive] beast! Mrs. Ma, you are so beautiful and capable, why don’t you leave him? Do not suffer anymore; it’s pitiful!” Mrs. Ma replied, “Thank you for your concern.”

Rose Chan calls the police, Benny Chan & Joe Ma changes response and apologizes

Magazine Scans: Actual Photos of Joe & Benny's kiss/hugs
Spoiler:

Earlier Rose Chan encountered a "Devil Claw Wolf Kisses" incident in Hengdian. She and Timmy Hung, Benny Chan and Joe Ma were having late night BBQ, initially it was just a normal supper, but later Rose turned into the Dim Sum for "hungry wolves" (referring to Benny/Joe)!

At the scene, it was seen Rose was having supper with the group. The three men were drunk, Timmy passed out, while the other two tried to force kiss Rose several times. To stop Rose from screaming, Benny used force covering Rose' mouth with his hand. This frightened Rose so much she didn't know what to do! As for the other 'male lead', Joe Ma, who was sitting right next to her didn't stop Benny, but went to give her more hugs and kisses. Their behavior indeed went over the line.

As the situation was serious, Rose's management and boss (Sin Kwok Lam) was furious after seeing the photos from the magazine report. Initially, Rose was scheduled to be back in Hong Kong early next month, however, after this incident, her boss instantly changed her schedule and had her fly back last night. This afternoon, Sin will be holding a press conference, according to sources, they will also visit the police department vowing to win Rose's justice back.

After the wild incident, Benny admitted to his wrongdoings on Weibo yesterday afternoon, but he described himself to have 'good hospitality': "I am wrong, just blame that I have too good hospitality, I really treat my friends from the heart. We were all shooting in Hengdian, and a group of friends went out together for dinner, but the form of expression was too exaggerated that led my friend to feel uncomfortable. I caused worries to my family and friends. I am most thankful for the trust my wife has for me. In the future, I will be more careful and be wise when meeting people."

However, after the 'force kissing' photos came out, the incident started heating up. Five hours later, Benny writes on Weibo again. This time, he changes his words and apologized. Benny stressed he didn't have any inappropriate feelings for Rose: "Today I saw the report, and because of my playfulness, I brought too much trouble to everyone. I frightened Rose and cause angered to Master Sin (Sin Kwok Lam). To this, I am officially announcing my apology to the related parties of this incident.
