The celebrity hairstylist has shared in a post that his now-estranged goddaughter Eleanor has not contacted him since he fell out with Yifeng four years ago.
Just when we thought local actress
Eleanor Lee’s
leaked voice clip scandal couldn’t get messier, the star’s godfather, celebrity hairstylist-turned-
rabbit breeder Addy Lee, has said he will reveal the "real story" of Eleanor and her mum, Mediacorp host
Quan Yifeng.
Last week, several media outlets reported that Eleanor, 26, had been removed from Chinese drama
Go to the Mountains and Sea after an alleged voice recording of the actress insulting mainland Chinese and calling them “fools” was leaked.
Eleanor later released a statement denying having said those words and that she was shocked to hear the recording.
“I was born in China and returned to China again at the age of 16. Now at 26, I have spent nearly half of my life here. During this time, I’ve received many opportunities and support, allowing me to shine in a career I love. I have nothing but love and deep gratitude for this land. My stance on anything concerning China has never and will never waver,” she wrote on Weibo and Instagram.
However, Addy is not convinced.
And he will expose the truth about the mother-daughter pair in a live stream at 9pm tonight (May 13).
"Karma has finally arrived. You really need to believe in karma — when the time is right, it will come,” wrote Addy on Facebook.
He said he taught Eleanor to be a good person and handle things properly since she was a child.
He also claimed that when Yifeng scolded him during a live stream, it led to them falling out (though Yifeng
claimed otherwise) and Eleanor turned her back on him and has not made any contact in the past four years.
“Are these celebrities really just as her daughter said — people who love money but don't value relationships?” he asked.
“Have you forgotten who brought you into China? Who helped you land the Apple commercial? You must have been over 21 then, right? I invested in you from a young age without ever asking for anything in return. I paid for your tuition, your overseas trips. It's been four years. I’ve never regretted meeting your family, but now I finally understand what karma really means.”
Addy also posted screenshots of DMs from someone claiming to be from Eleanor’s talent agency. The person said the recording was maliciously edited and fabricated by a former assistant.
The person added that the company is working to resolve negative public opinion and urged him not to add fuel to fire.
"If this girl truly didn’t do anything, then she has nothing to fear. But I personally witness karma coming for her — this is real," he retorted.
