Mavis Pan was cheated into taking racy lingerie photos
Chinese model Mavis Pan broke her silence on a series of racy lingerie photos that have surfaced recently, during a Hong Kong television interview on Wednesday, reported Hong Kong media. Pan, who is currently embroiled in a ‘bedroom photo’ scandal with popular Hong Kong actor Raymond Lam, claimed that she was cheated into taking these revealing photos, some of which even exposed her private regions, when she was still a teenager.
“Those photos were taken when I first arrived in Beijing and at the time, I didn’t know anything but just felt I liked this line (modelling). I didn’t have my parent’s blessings so I went to Beijing alone. “I went to audition for this advertisement and naively thought any opportunity is still an opportunity,” said Pan. “At first, they said I just had to model pyjamas and there weren’t any problems with them when I tried them on.” “But after I signed the contract and went for the photo shoot, the clothes were completely different.”
“I was very timid at the time, I was in my teens, I got scared and cried but they threatened me and asked me to pay damages. I came to Beijing against my family’s wishes. I had no money so I took the photos,” said Pan sombrely. “I kept thinking that after the shoot, the photos will slowly disappear.”
In an age where aspiring starlets are choreographing and discreetly distributing their own sex tapes, I think people will agree that this is harmless. Mavis looks amazing in the photos. What is harmful is women who are eyesores having photos taken of themselves (clothed or not) and distributed for everyone to see!
Carla Bruni (who I love) is the First Lady of France and when she warned President Sarkozy prior to marrying him about racy nude photos of her on the internet, he asked her for some high quality prints to keep for himself. Need I say more??
As my mother says, flaunt it while you have it because too many women don’t!
