今天(21日)下午3时，久未露面的“艳照门”焦点人物陈冠希终于现身。他在经纪公司东亚娱乐的安排下，于九龙湾附近的一家大厦内举行记者会，郑重为此事道歉，同时出人意料地宣布将退出香港娱乐圈。以下为陈冠希英文发言内容：

　　Today I've come back to Hong Kong to stand before you,and account for myself,I've never escaped away from my responsibility.

　　During the past few weeks,I've been with my mother,and my family,and love ones,to show

　　support and care,and at the same time have their support and care for me.

　　I admit most of the photos being circulated on the Internet were taken by me,but these photos were very private,and have not been shown to people,and were never intended to be shown to anyone.

　　Their photos were stolen from me illegally,and distributed without my consent.There is no doubt whoever obtained these photos had been uploading them on the Internet with malicious and deliberate intent.

　　This matter has intercalated to the extend that the society as a whole has been effected by this,and in this regard,I am deeply sad in it.

　　I would like now to apologise to all the people for all the suffering that has been caused and the problems that have arisen from this.

　　I would like to apologies to all the ladies and to all their families,for any harm or hurt that they've been feeling,I'm sorry.I would like to also apologies to my mother and my father,for the pain and suffering that I cost them during these past few weeks.Most importantly,I would like to say sorry to all the people in Hong Kong,I give my apology sincerely to you all,and reservedly it be,and with my heart.I know young people in Hong Kong look up to many figures in our society,and in this regard,I had failed,I had failed as a role model.However,I wish this matter would teach everyone a lesson,to all the young people in our community,let this be a lesson for you all,this is not an example to be set for you.
