Canadian-Hong Kong actor Edison Chen, who figured in a photo sex scandal with various actresses in 2008, is quarreling online with a former girlfriend, Taiwanese actress and model Lin Chi-ling.

Shanghaiist reported that on Wednesday, Chen posted on social media site Weibo hate comments about Lin, touching on her look, smell and professional abilities. Part of his post reads: “This bitch is ugly man. And she smells like shit.”

He deleted the offensive post but wrote later that Lin knows the reason he insulted her. Chen said he had warned her. However, Lin, through her manager, said she does not know why Chen is attacking her since she has not worked with Chen or seen the actor recently.

Lin even wrote on Weibo, to show she is not fighting her ex-boyfriend back, “Not fighting is mercy, not arguing is wisdom … forgiveness is freeing oneself,” which reflects some Buddhist writings.

Taiwan Apple Daily reported that the reason behind Chen’s online rants was the actor’s current girlfriend, Chinese model Shu Pei Qin, who failed to make it to the cast of “Hey Muse,” a fashion reality TV show in China. There were rumors that Shu was being considered for the show.

But Lin is part of the show’s third season, along with Shu’s friend, Sui He, a Chinese Victoria’s Secret model. Chen apparently thought Lin had something to do with Shu not being part of the show.

However, Cao Qing, producer of “Hey Muse,” said on Thursday that Shu was never considered to be a cast of the reality show. But Chen did not believe the explanation. On Friday, he attacked Lin anew in Shanghai. The actor said he tried to get in touch with Lin three times a month ago but was ignored. Chen said he would give his former girlfriend another chance to explain but threatened he would become nastier if she does not talk to him.
