Edison Chen First Class Rant, Threatens Flight Attendant 'I'll Get You Fired'

Edison Chen is known for his bad temper, and even becoming a dad hasn't tampered his fiery nature. Recently, he was reported to have had an altercation in first class on a Japan-based airline flight from Tokyo's Haneda to New York.
According to passengers on the same flight, the altercation stemmed from the disembarkation order. As reported by CTWANT, a passenger, allegedly Chen, was dissatisfied and argued with the flight attendant in English, questioning, “Excuse me, how am I different from him? Is there a card tier higher than Diamond?”
The incident started when the cabin director allowed a Japanese VIP passenger to disembark first and asked another Asian passenger who was retrieving luggage to make way. This led to the passenger’s discontent, questioning why he should let the other person go first while he was getting his luggage. The cabin director explained that the Japanese passenger was a VIP with the right to disembark first, which enraged the passenger: “You say he's a VIP, right? Look at my boarding pass, I have a Diamond card, now tell me, how am I different from him?!”
A witness recorded the altercation, where the passenger repeatedly asked in English three times, “Is there a card tier higher than Diamond? Tell me, is there a higher card tier?” and threatened, “Bring me the complaint form, I’ll make sure you lose your job!”On May 30, Edison Chen shared a photo on Instagram showing a view of the clouds from high above, with the caption 'FXXK IT / LET'S RIDE'.The post was uploaded, and comments below identified the passenger as a “famous Hong Kong star”, with some recognizing the voice allegedly as Chen's. Coincidentally, Chen recently shared a picture of the cloud view from an airplane, captioning it “FXXK IT / LET'S RIDE”, tying the incident together. Investigation shows the flight was on May 31 to New York.
Despite this fiery incident, many supported Chen, stating he had a reason to be upset: “If you’re grabbing your luggage, and the cabin director asks you to make way, even an ordinary person would feel disrespected!” Some mentioned, there are 8 seats in first class, with only one row difference between the Japanese VIP seat and his, “Is it really necessary to insist on being the first to disembark?”
Not the first altercation
This isn’t Edison Chen's first conflict when flying. Previously, he was famously involved in an incident where a live streamer filmed him at the airport. He immediately confronted the streamer with multiple F-bombs, drawing the attention of many travelers. At that time, the incident drew significant public attention, and his outburst at the airport became a hot topic across various circles.
