Mandy Chen & Edison Chen scandal

The delegate representing Brisbane, Australia, (20) Mandy Chen 陳育嬬, became entangled in a photo scandal with one of the pageant's performers Edison Chen, when suspected nude pictures of Mandy Chen engaging in sexual acts, along with pictures of other Hong Kong female celebrities surfaced in early 2008.[1] During the pageant, Edison Chen has stated that Mandy Chen is his favourite delegate.[2] Mandy Chen has yet to comment on the incident.
