Good news

I just got the good news and I am relieved that the prosecutor has decided not to file misdemeanor charges against me and to treat this matter as an infraction. What happened was an innocent mistake on my part and I am confident that the truth will be told since I never had any intention of taking items without paying for them.

I appreciate the support of the public and especially my friends and my fans.


Thank you!

Bai,

I knew that all this would blow over. With all the other things going on out there, your momentary slip in judgment is but a speck on this huge ball called earth. I hope now we will see more smiles in your candid pics. While all this was going on Bai....I kept thinking about your character Lucy in "The Breed"...when she said.."Do I strike you as the kind of woman who takes the easy way out?".....and I new you were the same in real life. You hang tough, and the beauty in this world will always find you.


Take Care.

Good luck in getting through the hard break up period. Most of us have been there. My thoughts are with you.

Carrie said...

how come your english is perfect on that paragraph?

did your lawyer write it?

professor_petroglyph said...

Bai Nushi, wo hen gaoxing!

Wo zui gaoxing!

That is wonderful news. Best news I have heard all year.

Zhende!

I know that this whole crazy thing was just a misunderstanding. Too little rest and too much head pain. We have all been there.

The prosecutor would never have taken this step if he did not believe that you were innocent of the greater charge.

I am watching you in *Beautiful Country* for the first time tonight. Such an incredibly beautiful film.

Thank you sincerely for all your terrific work, and the best is yet to come.

Women dou yong yuan ai ni!

Wo xiwang ni hen gaoxing.

God bless you and keep you forever in his arms.

Xie xie!

Zaijian.

Mr. David Merchant said...

Glad they went with infraction.

As we all know, break-ups are hard, especially for those that feel deeply, and are in pain. It can distract you, make you walk in a fog, blunder about clumsily as you find yourself off balance.

But in the end, the sun rises on a new day, the flowers boom in season, and finally a true love enters in. It will happen to you, if you believe.

Forgive yourself, forgive him for breaking up right before Valentine's Day, and forgive the immature souls with the spirit of the devil that posted mean, un-Christian, pharisaical comments.

You have friends and fans, you are making movies, and so you are lucky: dwell on that instead.

Bob said...

Glad this will all be wrapped up for you. Many people make the same mistake. It's such a shame the media needed to weigh in on it. Good luck to you!

john said...

OMG Bai what were you doing thieving some stuff from -of all places- LAX. No man is worth that. Pull it together girl. Be strong and self willed.

Recipe to overcome being lovelorn:
1 comedy: Rushmore
1 tragedy: In the Mood for Love

John said...

OMG Bai what were you doing "boosting" some minor items from -of all places- LAX? If you're going to go a heistin' chocolate helps with a melancholic heart.

Things that also help:
Watch nothing but comedies, starting with Rushmore.

Take care. Much peace girl!

C. said...

aww you needed batteries,
for what?
a dildo?

David said...

Okay. First off... I know you might not be too happy about it, been I'm ridiculously happy you broke up with your boyfriend. I was worried you were married or something and I'm thrilled to find you single because you're one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen and I've had a crush on you for the better part of 15 years.

I've read a few of the enties here but, oddly enough, didn't see anybody asking you out yet... (what a strange strange world...) So just in case I'm not like 700th person I'd like to have a coffee with you... and some scones.

I'm sure google has some way that you can get in contact with me. I'm famous... in some circles. :)

John said...

Glad this blew over. For a broken heart, if you have to boost something boost chocolate. It really works.

Cheers girl. And no more crazy behavior.

I look forward to more of your poetic musings on nature, etc.,Bai Ling.I know you love animals--you may enjoy reading my Jan. 15th,2008 entry(very sad) and the two entries that follow(more upbeat, cheerful), about my Aussie, "Frisco" at my blog.
I stop in at your blog quite often.Come read me sometime--I'm a SAG actor living in Atlanta area, and a published writer/poet.

Lisa Allender said...

Okay, let me follow-up with a comment on what everyone keeps focusing on:
The temporary lapse that caused you to walk off with two mags and a battery--everyone has had a moment when they were preoccupied...I knew you'd be okay on these "charges".I posted at your blog when this first happened--and said that people should not dwell on this incident, nor should you.
You're going to be just fine!Congrats on putting all this behind you!

cmk said...

You were so distressed about your breakup with your boyfriend, but you were not so distressed about deciding to get magazines to read despite all the distress. However, the distress kicked in only when it came to payment. Yeah, right. Pull the other leg now. Seems to me that you are so caught up in yourself that you think you are an exception to the law.

Tyrone-Shawn said...

Bai,

I'm sorry this all occured because of pain of the heart. Obviously you cared for someone and they broke your heart and I'm glad that The authorities have recognized that this was a misunderstanding. you will move past this to better things. I'm sure of it.

Good Luck with filming and if you are looking for love still Come to New York City...many fine gentlemen to choose from maybe even me!

Be Well.

T.S.

Whatsa matta you no got money ? Get a job, then you no have to steal.

jeanlafittepirate said...

i don't mean to be brutish, like
a bull in a china closet, but its
quite understandable, with the
international espionage situation
as it is. please forgive the
poor clerk who 'turned you in'.
she should have been much more
sophisticated, and given you
some more goodies to go with
what she gave you. they are yours
by right of moral relativism anyway. i find the same thing
here at panda garden. i have had
to protect international interests
against the provincialists who
only think of cashing in on
a plumbing job. sewer inspectors
are needed all over the world.
good luck, in new mexico, near
taos and gallup and the center
there for the study of quarks
and such. many are worried about
the existence of 'weapon z'.
is it fact or fiction. the answer
would not be in los alamos. it
would be in the equidistant future.
i have to go back to 299 billion
a.d. now. but i'll be back in
the morning of real time. my
dog lucky, an australian shepherd,
had her birthday on february 13th,
so it is most likely her fault
that your boyfriend broke up with
you. i hope you and boyfriend
or husband or consort get back
togther very soon. princess miyako
is most interested also. as
she likes to leave bundles of
cash around japan. to alleviate
the plight of some by chance.
not that charlie chan and ying
and yang drink only tang for
breakfast. see the petrified
forest while you are in the land
of enchantment. lovely. amazing.
many legends lie within the
area called new mexico. especially
poignant is the story of 'and now
miguel', a boy shepherd of many
sheep in new mexico. always a
favorite of american schoolchildren. shows how sheep
are fleeced of their wool. and
then off to market. and it
is very hard on miguel to say
goodbye to his beloved sheep.
for he is one of the good shepherds
who does not cry wolf, but does
see angels helping him guard his
flocks by night, announcing
the coming of easter. honorable
ancestors and honorable descendants. apache have a saying
and legend, that the universe
is a giant womb giving birth
and having orgasm. apache poetry.

We all make mistakes, that's what makes us human. The secret is: we should learn from them. :) Enjoy some positive karma.

Hey Bee,
been following this. Know how it feels like, been there, done it. but noone understands at times it wasn't on intent. bad days can be really worse. But your conscience will of course exonerate you.
we feel you, and for you.

dan said...

Good news indeed.

EL GRITO said...

Well no one should do hard time for 16 bucks. With respect to the "Boy"friend. You can't send a BOY to do a MAN's job. Also, what's up with all the asiaphile palefaces jocking your site. You need a little more color in your life....try some cafe with your leche.... ;-) Ciao, El Grito

Ian k. said...

That's great. said it was nothing didn't I. Now we can get things back to normal.

What's next then?

JoE said...

cheers!

maris said...

Hi Bai. I am a Nigerian and I know how it feels when you are faced such things like this and folks are happy to spread the news. Do not worry, things will clear off. Although I feel sorry that you reputation is being dented, but things will clear off soon. It shall be well with you soon. Just be yourself and don't disturb yourself about what the tabloids have to say about this issue. You will conquer all these in due course. CHEERS DEARIE!!! kuntaktmaris.blogspot.com

bimple said...

El grito, what is with this "asiaphile" crap, nobody can blame them for having bigger dicks than Asians.

LOL!

alan said...

I am glad things are working out for you; hopefully soon Paris or Britney will knock this off the news and you can go back to acting and not worry about the tabloids or their readers!

wendy said...

I just clicked onto your blog by happenstance - I know what it is like to go through LAX in a "dream state" after a long flight. I am up in the middle of the night to contact international clients, clicked the "wrong" key and ended up finding your blog. Your lovely writings gave me the break I needed before putting my own thoughts together on our current project. Thank you for the break and I trust that you will get yours. If you come to Vancouver let us know.
Best Wishes, Captain Cook

Derek said...

I'm glad to see that this is all wrapped up positively Bai!

Onwards and upwards. :)

The Insane Writer said...

You have a beautiful soul. Everyone makes mistakes, and I mean everyone. You are no different. In the end we all must face those mistakes' consequences, which is exactly what you did... without a complaint.

I hope you do not mind, but I added your blog to my links on my own blog page. I added you not because of who your are through the media's eyes, but because of who you truly are through your soul.

I enjoyed reading your writing and feel for you. I believe others would enjoy your writing as well.

If you ever want a review of your writing, please let me know and I'd be happy to review it. In the mean time, keep your chin up and smile once in a while. :)

Andreas said...

Once a hunter caught a butterfly, the most shiny and colourful butterfly ever. And he imprisoned it. In a dark wooden crate. Nobody can hear butterflies crying, no human ever could. But the hunter - is it only his imagination - he heard sounds of prayer and sadness in the crate when he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes he remarked by sudden that all colours around him have gone, since he caught the butterfly and now he could even hear it with his eyes wide open. Immediately he forgot the reward for headhunting and catching the butterfly. All accuses against the butterfly were null and void and he opened the crate - and smiled.

i'm glad that the more serious charge was not filed against you. i have faith that all will be cleared up once you are able to give your account to the judge.

Nicholas said...

Bai Ling
Bai you must realize, you are one of the world's most beautiful woman.
You also know that you need help with that shoplifting. What is missing Bai? Something that lacks inspiration, desire, fullfillment, love, sex, and enjoyment in life.
Want to talk to someone? I will be here for you, I am not a professional just an older male with what life throws at us all.
Thanks
Warmest of hugs
Nicholas

Don G said...

Everybody has momentary slips of consciousness--where you're thinking of something else entirely and just going through the motions of what you're actually doing. That clerk should have given you the opportunity to pay before calling the police. Seems as if in this society, we're polarizing into two kinds of people; the over-zealous and the self-involved. Both kinds are too quick to judge and neither kind has any understanding.

WOnderful.. I understand the emotional temporary set back that may have you not thinking clearly at one time. Good for you. Stay blessed and keep up your good work.

Carrie said...

Bai Ling, I decided I like you now. I had a dream about you and you were nice and had on a pretty dress. So I will stop leaving shitty comments on your site about your loser stalkers.

Ok bye.

Ian K. you are still fat and pervy, though.

x said...

You're a thief. Plain and simple.

x said...

Jesus H. Christ...this comment area is filled with 40 something year old lonely males who think this actress is going to fall for them because a stupid comment...

to all the guys on here who think bai ling is beautiful and gorgeous (as they beat off in front of their computers), here's a reality check, when was the last time a woman on the street even LOOKED at you?

professor_petroglyph said...

Gorgeous film, Ian, like all of the Angel's productions.

Tam's death will haunt me for a long time.

Amazing how utterly fragile this gossamer web of life truly is, once you strip away the illusory pretensions of hyper-technological security.

That goes double for the unfortunate and dispossessed.

Every day a million unsung Tams reach the end of their brief and joy-bereft lifes in cruel, untimely deaths and are thrown overboard to be carried away by the tide.

Reminds me of an old Phil Ochs song . . .

Outside a Small Circle

Look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed

They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed

Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain

But monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends.

Riding down the highway, yes, my back is getting stiff

Thirteen cars are piled up, they're hanging on a cliff.

Maybe we should pull them back with our towing chain

But we gotta move and we might get sued and it looks like it's gonna rain

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends.

Sweating in the ghetto with the colored and the poor

The rats have joined the babies who are sleeping on the floor

Now wouldn't it be a riot if they really blew their tops?

But they got too much already and besides we got the cops

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends.

Oh there's a dirty paper using sex to make a sale

The Supreme Court was so upset, they sent him off to jail.

Maybe we should help the fiend and take away his fine. (*)

But we're busy reading Playboy and the Sunday New York Times

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends

Smoking marihuana is more fun than drinking beer,

But a friend of ours was captured and they gave him thirty years

Maybe we should raise our voices, ask somebody why

But demonstrations are a drag, besides we're much too high

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends

Oh look outside the window, there's a woman being grabbed

They've dragged her to the bushes and now she's being stabbed

Maybe we should call the cops and try to stop the pain

But Monopoly is so much fun, I'd hate to blow the game

And I'm sure it wouldn't interest anybody

Outside of a small circle of friends

*sigh*

Good luck Ling and please ignore the bottom feeders who make mean, stupid remarks.......

Ian k. said...

Carrie:

You was not just slagging off people on here but Ling as well incase you forgot,you know people you have never even met. Well thank you anyway, you didn't even mention how bad I smell on top of being a Fat pervy michellin man :-) You are most gracious.

May you awake surrounded by great steaming mounds of wet Gorilla poo!

Ian k. said...

X ?
You sure you’re not Carrie with a sex change? Oh well anonymous posters all look the same to me, yellow.

It's what happens when people are nice to other people instead of spiteful and mean...they get friends and people who admire them being nice back, but then what would you understand about that?

P.S Prof, glad you liked it , it is in the top four of my fav films of Lings, very nice score, acting and Photography. What you got lined up next then?

megan said...

Bai,
Hi! its megan from the coffee shop :)
Just wanted to say it was nice chattin with ya last night...
dont worry too much about any of this, like i said, it'll blow over... just remember: Unknowingly :)
If you get real bored, contact me on my myspace page myspace.com/missmegan505

haseemscamel said...

I am glad that you have one less thing to worry about. And to all of the people, or should I call them mammals, that post rude comments here, please do everyone a favor and go get a life.

Ian k. said...

Isn't it funny how 99% of all the haters, hecklers have blogger accounts and profiles that are hidden and anonymous or have been created in the last few moments before thier posting?

Kevin said...

of course her english is suddenly perfectly good because she just copied the letter from her lawyer. lol! there is no secret at all.

Rob said...

To Ian k. Irregardless of when "I" was created, it appears the truth always upsets someone,partcularily the English. Britannia waives the rules, as usual.

Carrie said...

Ian K why is that funny?

Rob said...

And, Ian K,I'm assuming a profile solves everything. You implicitly trust everything you read in the profile as the gospel truth,including the fact that the picture is really you, and hasn't been altered in any way. Good luck, in that case of finding your princess online. Just watch out for trolls in disguise.

Alan said...

What's next then? Well, of course to steal BIG because there is no jail time! jail? what jail? horray!

Ian k. said...

NO I just don't think that anyone who hides behind anonyminty like a coward deserves anything but contempt. That I guess you would not know...your not proper English ;-)

Ian k. said...

No Rob but mine is quite traceable if you bothered to look further than your bull**it you would find out.

Edwin said...

bai ling is beautiful? you could be blind! she can be called a beauty? i almost throw up! in fact, she is the ugliest i have even seen, and she is a thief too so that makes her even look very bad moral!

Rob said...

Ah yes Ian. Proper English and contempt for others. Sounds like the royal family and everything about England.You're down like an english heavyweight.

Rob said...

Do thieves deserve your contempt too Ian? Or are you just the forgiving type?

Ian k. said...

Ah so Rob, you do not have the intelligence to at least explain why you come on here and slag off people you have never met with information you don't really know, now you have to reduce yourself to banging on about my Country as well just to spite me?

That really is bottom of the barrell you poor boy. Now sod off why I have some Tea and crumpets with Mummy, then go see the Queen.

Rob said...

Hmmm. Is Bai "proper english" too? Or is she just a former colonial?

Rob said...

Lol,lol Ian. Very good. Are both yours and Mummys teeth up too crumpets?.....given the general state of dental care in merry old england?

Ian k. said...

Rob, yes thieves do deserve contempt, in fact I am someone who is well know locally for my "physical" attitude towards thieves, especially career ones.

Then again people with some intelligence do not automatically pre-judge such situations and allow benefit of the doubt until all facts are known, even then as a first offence it is never treated so bad under any legal system.

I was not there when it happened so I cannot say for sure what the facts are, neither can anybody here I bet, but one small act or mistake does make a hardened criminal out of Ling worthy of the vile remarks and foulness that have been made on here.

It only makes you out to be what you really are...which is far worse than anything Ling has been accused of.

Ian k. said...

No Rob, Bai Ling is very Chinese, not sure if you noticed the difference in bone structure, hair colour and so on, dude were did you go to school?

tom said...

I really enjoy your photos and your openess. I'm glad the airpot incident was put more into perspective!

Don't let your break up get you down - things will get better after a while!

Ian said...

yes we make mistakes but then we should admit it and face it. not like bailing, commited it then used excuses to deny it. it made her look very bad. if she admitted that she has done something inapporiate then apologized, a lot of people would forgive her. is this the way her family raise her? then shame on her family too!

bimple said...

Ian k, I don't know how you are putting up with these people (haters)? why do you bother?

Ian k. said...

Bimple...because I am bored, gave up smoking and I am on a diet..therefore I need some retards to amuse me!

BTW that other "Ian" posting is nothing to do with me!

Obsessed With Basketball said...

It’s weird, my biggest fear is walking out of a store and having the security alarm go off. I always think its going to go off.

Carrie said...

Good news about your diet, Ian K.

Ian k. said...

3.5 ibs this week and I haven't even started doing anything yet baby! Just you wait this time next month you will REALLY be stalking me and wanting my English ass!!

LOL!

J said...

my biggest fear is if my friend steals things from store(s) and then deny it, try to cover it with excuses. he/she is no longer my friend. i won't forgive my friend who makes mistakes but not admit it.

colorful_cloud said...

BAI,
As tomorrow was coming near...I was thinking of you and wishing you calm in your heart. I didnt want this to cloud you or bring you down. When we are going so freely on our path...one small error can give us some self doubt. We begin thinking things like "how could this happen when everything was going so right? " Or "this isnt me" But never let anything like this give you any doubt of who you really are. No matter what...you are still held in the highest place....somewhere just above all that is common and mortal....still a part of reality...but more than a common being. When I sail on my boat....I always think I have made all the perfect calculations. But along the way I find I have drifted. On any long journey....when you find your self in a storm....it is so easy to drift ever slightly off course. But you are still the master of your life....the beautiful being you always have been....still the queen of everything in the eyes of those who love you....amazing...genlte free....beautiful you.
