Actor Edison Chen (pic) has found himself in unwanted publicity after reports emerged that he was involved in an alleged dispute with a flight attendant during a recent commercial flight from Tokyo to New York.
According to entertainment site Dimsum Daily, the incident reportedly stemmed from a disagreement over disembarkation procedures, with the 44-year-old star allegedly telling the crew member, “Bring your complaint letter. I will get you fired.”
Chen's management, however, has since clarified the matter, explaining that after the plane had landed, the Infernal Affairs actor was retrieving his luggage when a passenger behind him began moving forward.
Chen reportedly said politely, “Could I please finish collecting my belongings first?”
According to his management, a flight attendant then intervened, saying that the other passenger could disembark first as he held the airline's Diamond status.
Chen, who is said to hold the same status, was left confused, prompting the misunderstanding.
His management added that Chen is currently in communication with the airline to resolve the matter.
