"I once was dishearten, when I thought that I should go die..." Gillian Chung (Ah Gil) yesterday brought tears with her to the interview with Stephan Chan's "Be My Guest" and talked about her journey through the Artist Sex Photo Scandal. She frankly admitted that she had been in a period of suicidal, she felt that her dignity and privacy were gone, every part of her was seen by everyone. She blames herself on doing such stupid thing and that was only because she didn't want to lose the other party.

In the Artist Sex Photo Scandal, Ah Gil was the only one of the many female "main characters" who stepped out to face the public, but her one phrase "I am very naive and foolish" was often attacked and then she started her break not long after the public appearance.

She attended the interview in a dark solid colored top, with little make-up, straight hair and maintained her calmness throughout. But when she started talking about the Photo Scandal, her tears could not stop running. Gillian's interview is scheduled to broadcast this Saturday (3/7/09) on TVB's channel. Last night, TVB cut clips from the interview and included them in the 6:30 entertainment news broadcast, "Scoop".

Intimate Photos, for memories of other party

Recently, Cecilia Cheung came forward and denounced Edison Chen for being liar and hypocrite, this caused a lot of pressure on Ah Gil while she did the interview. Before the interview, it was rumored that the interview was to force her to talk about the Photo Scandal. She was asked who caused the pain she received from the scandal? Ah Gil said: "Me, I blame myself, blame myself that I did such foolish thing." She reveals that there was once she felt disheartened and wanted to commit suicide, she said: "I once felt disheartened.... I thought that if I died.... my problems would fall onto the people I know, causing people that care about me to feel pain, so I quickly got out of that mentality." Currently she is re-energized, has courage to come out and meet the public.

Couldn't take the complaints, Mom says if don't want to do don't do it
Why did she take such intimate photos? Ah Gil cries and said: "I don't know, I really don't know, maybe because I don't want to lose it! (After the incident, there were many criticisms flying around, when you attended the charities for natural disasters or other functions, people complained, did you feel disheartened?) I called my mom and cried very hard, I told my mom that I'm very tired and I couldn't take it anymore! Then my mom told me that she will support me, she told me if I didn't want to do it, then don't! (No dignity?) Yes, None, it's like I have no more privacy, like everyone in the world saw every part of me, everyone knew. Whatever I do, people will yell at me, dignity is the most important." Asked if Edison Chen called her? Ah Gil shook her head.

No Relation with Edison Chen anymore

She revealed during the interview that she saw Edison's news in the past year and what he has done, she also saw the news about what he announced yesterday, and was asked if she admits to be Edison's friend and not love him? Ah Gil answered everyone that she probably won't be seeing him, there will not be any relations between him and her.

He said that there won't be any lawyers, whether Ah Gil tells us or not is based on her personal preference. Before the interview Stephen has discussed with Ah Gil, she was only asked to answer questions honestly! During the interview, the Scandal will be mentioned because this was Ah Gil's most difficult time in life. Why did the interview take place in a mansion? He smiled: "It's special!"
