HK Star Edison Chen Has Confrontation With Flight Attendant Over Alleged Unfair Treatment

Hong Kong star Edison Chen (陈冠希) is notorious for his bad temper but has mellowed out since becoming a father. However, the star recently got into a heated argument with a flight attendant. A XiaoHongShu user recently shared an incident involving a Chinese passenger on a flight from Japan to New York on 1st June 2025. According to the user, after the plane arrived at the airport, the cabin crew prepared to disembark a Japanese VIP off the plane first. But the Chinese passenger was dissatisfied with the different treatment and began arguing with the flight attendant. The flight attendant tried to explain the situation, saying the VIP was a Diamond Card holder and had priority to disembark first. However, the Chinese passenger retaliated, saying, 'You said he's a VIP, right? Please look at my boarding pass, I am a Diamond Card member. Tell me, what is the difference between him and me?!'. At one point during the argument, the Chinese passenger even yelled out, 'I'm going to file a complaint, and I'll make you lose your job!'. While the XiaoHongShu post never disclosed the identity of the Chinese passenger, netizens suspect him to be Edison Chen based on the voice recording provided. The public figure also posted about a flight on the day of the incident, solidifying the suspicions. After the issue went viral, Edison Chen's agency posted a statement confirming the allegations. However, the agency also shared the actor's side of the story to provide clarity. According to the agency, after the plane landed, passengers at the back of the flight were in a hurry to disembark. Edison Chen, trying to get to his luggage, had calmly asked if he would take his luggage from the overhead compartment. However, the flight attendant said that a Diamond Card member passenger needed to disembark first, which was when the viral 'fight' started. The agency explained that since Edison Chen is also a diamond card member, he was puzzled by the flight attendant's explanation, leading to the misunderstanding. However, the agency said the star is continuously communicating with the airline over the matter and asked the public to avoid spreading misinformation. Meanwhile, Edison has yet to address the issue. Unfortunately, flights can bring out the worst in you. Of course, we don't condone his alleged actions, but perhaps Edison Chen was voicing his frustration with the situation. What are your thoughts on this?
