A report came out last week about rumors that television host and singer Billy Crawford was arrested in Hong Kong.
A tabloid claimed that he had to spend a night detained at a police station after punching a man who groped his girlfriend, actress Coleen Garcia, during a Halloween party held at a bar in Hong Kong's Harbour City last October 31.
In an interview with reporters on Tuesday, Crawford denied that he was arrested, and clarified that he only cooperated with local authorities who brought him in for questioning. He also maintained that he did not punch anyone.
"Hindi po ako nakulong. Kasi kung nakulong ako, hindi ako makakabalik sa Pilipinas -- I'd be deported to the United States, " said Crawford, who is also an American citizen. "But may kaguluhan na nangyari dahil nabastos si Coleen and it was a verbal altercation between someone there and me."
The "It's Showtime" host furthered: "Good thing, iyong medyo shungang tao na nambastos kay Coleen ay ginawa niya sa harapan ng pulis. So nakita ng pulis."
"The thing about the Hong Kong police is that they're very, very strict. Kahit iyong pinakamaliit na magsigawan kayo sa street, puwede kang i-question or i-hold for statements."
Crawford added that he was only trying to protect his girlfriend.
"For me, I had to protect Coleen. Kababaeng tao, ayaw ko naman mabastos siya. Pero hindi ako nakipagaway, hindi ako nanuntok, hindi ako nasuntok. Walang gulo.
"As in masuwerte na lang kami and the police were there, and sila iyong nag-handle ng situation, which was the proper way of doing it. And if it's done in another country, you have to abide and respect the rules of that country so we were just complying."
Crawford was speaking after a press conference announcing his brand new project, a five-episode reality series called "The Ultimate Brocation" that will be shown on entertainment and sports channel Kix starting December 14.
It follows Crawford, along with three other famous Southeast Asian personalities, namely Malaysian hip-hop artist SonaOne, Thai DJ and host P.K., and Singaporean celebrity chef Bjorn Shen, as they storm Hong Kong's famed tourist spots without their "girlfriends."
Nakalimutan mo na ba billy ginawa mo sa taguig?!?!? Bilis nakalimot ah.
ReplyDeleteAno ang konek sis?
DeleteBes siya nalang nagtake ng fall sa nangyari sa taguig pero really si coleen may problema dun and he got super worried. He took the fall kasi masisira gf niya
Deleteoo nga, parang after din ata ng star magic ball yun. Galing ulit sila sa bar, hindi lang ako sure kung nabastos ba si Coleen dun pero basta may gulo ding nangyari dahil kay Coleen
Delete12:44 wag nyo isali yung sa Taguig s nangyari s HK ....di kayo makamove on
DeleteWehhh damage control!
ReplyDeletePaanong naging damage control yun? Kung may sinaktan siya, kulong siya. Kung kinulong siya, hindi lang tabloids ang magiingay at hindi rin sana sila nakauwi dito agad agad. Be objective naman, hindi yung lahat nalang ninenega niyo dahil makitid ang utak niyo. Dito nga sa Taguig ilang araw siya nadetain, nambasag lang ng salamin. Malakas pa ang hatak niya dito. Paano pa kaya kung nambugbog siya sa striktong HK na wala siyang hatak at kakilala? Isip din pls.
DeleteYan lang kasi kaya niyang sabihin. Wala kasi siyang capacity mag rationalize, @1:04. Mema lang.
DeleteHe always looks like he's more into her
ReplyDeleteKabastos bastos naman kasi talaga ang suot ni colleen nung gabing yun.
ReplyDeleteKung ikaw nag suot ng ganon,walang babastos sayo.bwahaha at walang right ang sinuman na mambastos regardless of what a girl wears.
DeleteEdward Scissorhands ang costume niya. Lalaki iyon. Hindi iyon kabastos-bastos.
DeleteSi 1:03 slutshamer. It has nothing to do with the woman. She can wear whatever. Ang may problema yung nambabastos.
Delete@1:03am at least aminado kang madali sayo mambastos kahit COSTUME
DeleteShortcomings ng upbrining nung nambabastos ang sisihin mo hindi yung short dress ng babae.
DeleteThere are photos and videos of Coleen fully degraded! There's hardly a difference between her and a rag that's been used and passed around. If there are any shortcomings in her upbringing it's Coleen's.
DeleteLagi na lang napapahamak dahil sa LhAdy BhOhzzz niya lol
ReplyDeletedi mo ba gets issue 1:08? wala ka sigurong nanay or kapatid na babae.
Deleteit happens talaga ikaw ba 1:08 ni minsan di ka naaksidente or nagawa kang mali? o kaya may pinagtanggol ka lang? siguro tagabundok ka at nakakulong ka lang.
DeleteTga bundok yan si 1:08 kaya 3:30 pagpasensyahan m na
Deletetotoo naman, pati yung sa taguig dati
Deletejeje kopol.
ReplyDeleteYou? Jeje basher. You dont know these people pero kung makajeje ka parang galing ka sa alta na pamilya! Matuto pong mahiya!
DeleteHahaha naku 8:30 yang mga katulad ni 1:10 ang talagang hindi mo maintindihan bakit binayayaan ng utak at natutong mag social media.
Deletebitter siguro si 1:10 dahil sya hinupuan na't lahat lahat walang nagtanggol sakanya.
DeleteWala kaso nagtatanggol sayo pag nababastos ka.
DeleteKung nakulong siya, ide-deport siya sa US? Huh? Bakit po? Paki-explain. 'Di ko talaga na-gets.
ReplyDeleteKasi poh American Citizen cya
Deleteamerican citizen sya
DeleteAmerican passport holder kasi siya bes. Dual citizen.
Delete9:08, the right term is that he is a US Citizen. Kasi hindi ka naman magkaka American passport kung hindi ka naman US Citizen.
DeleteAng pangit na ni Billy Joe!
ReplyDeleteLalo na daw ikaw, mas panget pa sa panget.
Deleteedi ikaw na maging celebrity/artista 9:56 talunin mo si billy
DeleteWow 9:56 nabasag ang salamin s bahay nyo s sobrang kagandahan mo
Deletetotoo sinabi ni 9:56. untidy pa tignan.
Delete"Kababaeng tao"? Normal and decent women are not as disgusting as Coleen. No one has any respect for cheap whores so she was treated as such.
ReplyDeleteHindi siya nakipagaway pero may verbal altercation between him and yung nambastos kay coleen?
ReplyDeleteBut i agree with billy. here in hk ganun talaga kahit maliit na gulo iinvite ka for questioning not bec may kasalanan ka but for clarification. kung nakulong yan i eescort yan sa airport kaagad and people will know it. he is telling the truth.
ReplyDeleteFact: It's a Halloween Costume party. Coleen dressed up as Edward Scissorhand (female version). Though a little too provocative I must say. Anyway, she wore the costume very well.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, once they stepped out of the Bar/Venue, she should have protected herself by wearing a Coat or anything to cover up. The scenario is different inside the Bar and on the Streets. As reported, she was harassed outside, while walking the Streets of HKG. As they say, the way you dress up determines the attitude how people will treat you.
As for Billy, this is the second time you got into an argument with someone harassing your GF. It's either you're too jealous and territorial or alcohol just really makes you a war freak. So maybe you can ask your GF to dress appropriately and less provocatively. Maybe you need to attend an Anger Management class and lastly, avoid alcohol.
Dont be too judgemental and dont jump into conclusion. Nobody has a right to disrespect anyone regardless of what she wears. ok?
