Hong Kong star Gillian Chung's husband Michael Lai said he would take legal action against false allegations, in his first comments to the media since news of their separation broke last Friday .
"This is a regretful incident, and I am very sad about it. I hope everyone can give me a little space," he said."I respect her and will not react further to the incident." "I am immune to unkind words in the last two to three years, but I will sue all the way if these false rumours are libellous," he said.
Last Friday, he uploaded a lengthy post on Instagram admitting to being single again, after reports of their separation had surfaced earlier in the media. He wrote that Chung, one half of Cantopop girl group Twins, regretted marrying him.
