Amigo Chui was taken into police custody yesterday for allegedly assaulting his model girlfriend, Elizabete Kwong. After cooperating with the investigation, he was released on bail. As a heavily promoted artiste from TVB, Amigo's reputation has been tarnished by the incident. TVB has put all his work on hold and his future remains uncertain. Yesterday Elizabete Kwong held a press conference to address this issue. She revealed she had once been slapped by Amigo when he was drunk. She also revealed the love letters that Amigo had sent her, as well as SMS and photos they had taken together to prove that she wasn't the third party in the relationship. She notified the police because she was frightened and worried about her safety.Amigo Chui has not made any public appearances since the news broke. The day before yesterday, Elizabete filed a report at Wan Chai police headquarters. It's believed that police later brought Amigo in for questioning. Yesterday a police spokesperson confirmed that a 30 year old male was brought into the station to assist with an assault case. He was later released on bail and will appear back at the station in early January.
Elizabete was originally scheduled to shoot an MV in Shek O yesterday afternoon, but it was cancelled. At 1:40pm, she left her residence in Tai Kok Tsui and traveled with colleagues to her modeling agency in North Point. A press conference was later held at 3:30pm. She commented on the alleged assault and revealed love letters that were sent to her by Amigo. One of them read: 'Love you, I want to hold you everyday, I want to take your hand and fly to the skies. You are my dearest girlfriend.' In the note, Amigo signed off as 'King'. There was another SMS that mentioned ex-girlfriend Natalie Tong, which said 'I'm drunk. My ex sent me an SMS.'
Elizabete later displayed her injuries to the media. She said: "Yesterday (22nd) something unfortunate happened between me and my boyfriend. (Your boyfriend is Amigo Chui?) Yes. We were arguing because our personalities were too different. At that time we were together in a room. He pushed me on the floor. I wanted to run, but the door was locked. He choked me using his foot. I wanted to scream for help but I couldn't breathe. He didn't want our relationship revealed, so he took my phone and deleted all the photos. Afterwards, he asked me for my camera, so I gave it to him." When she left, Amigo's older brother was in the house. When asked whether she was the one to initiate the breakup? She said she never did, it was Amigo would wanted the photos removed but the situation got out of hand. They've mentioned breaking up in the past, but they usually resolve their arguments very quickly. Is there a chance they'll get back together? She expressed that she feels very confused by everything.
Has Amigo ever hit her? She said: "He was drunk once and slapped me. He later promised he'd never hurt me. I couldn't believe it... (Was he drinking yesterday?) No. (Do you believe he has a violent nature?) You can't really say that. Sometimes he gets a little frustrated. He sometimes swears when we argue. (Will you press charges against him?) I don't know." Her manager Frankie said that he cannot disclose whether or not the case will be resolved outside of court.Elizabete made the incident public as she was concerned for her safety. However, since she already gave her testimony to the police, she will not reveal the specifics. Is Amigo a completely different person off camera? She said: "Sometimes I get that feeling. But you're often blinded when you're in love. I thought he would change for me. But after this incident, I've learned my lesson. I won't tolerate violence."
Elizabete has been unable to sleep after this ordeal, not even by taking sleeping pills or having her mother at her side. Did Amigo ever call her? She said she doesn't know as her phone is off. Were they living together? She said no. They only meet with each other once in a while. She started seeing him on August 29th of this year. Amigo had already broken up with Natalie and even showed her the break up SMS from his phone. Elizabete said she had already met his parents. Her mother was also introduced to Amigo and thought he seemed very polite.
Her manager stated the press conference was intended to clear up any misconceptions that Elizabete was the third party in the relationship. They stress that they did not have any other motives and it's only because her safety was threatened.TVB executive Ho Lai Chuen expressed they have put all of Amigo's jobs on hold until police have concluded the investigation. He said: "Tonight (23rd), JSG will be hosted by Paisley Wu. Filming for N.I.B (My Name is Bong) has been cancelled. Luckily we filmed in advance. The show was going to run until next year, but due to current circumstances, the ratings will be definitely be affected (Amigo's name is in the title). As for Scoop, we have already found replacements. While Amigo is JSG's current host, we will continue searching for a suitable replacement. Will you prevent him from returning to the front of the camera? "No, we just want him to take time and sort through this matter. If the police find nothing against him, then it's fine. Right now he needs to rest. We don't want him to worry about his work." Will you arrange for him to appear on any shows to share his side of the story? "No, the company does not like having these matters aired publicly."
