Things have changed rapidly over the past week for everyone, most of all for Wang Leehom (王力宏)’s former wife, Lee Jing Lei (李靚蕾). After revealing her husband’s multiple sexual partners, she’s been fielding claims from Leehom, his dad, and former lover BY2’s Yumi.
Leehom has apologised, but issues are still arising. On top of discovering he may have plagiarised said apology, there’s been rumours the singer sexually harassed Hong Kong singer Kelly Chen, and had a foursome with two others. In the midst of these troubling times, Jing Lei’s friends have come forward to show their support.
Although Jing Lei’s Instagram has been devoid of Leehom since 2019, it isn’t bare. Most of her photos have been either showcasing her kids, or her close friends. It’s clear to see that she values her friends very much. Her love isn’t misplaced, Jing Lei has clearly chosen a good group.
On 21st December, artist Elin Yeh posted a photo of them together and spoke up in solidarity of their friendship. “I don’t want to criticize others,” the artist first prefaced. “This is what my mother taught me!” However, for her friend of 10 years, Elin is willing to go the distance. Elin shared that Jing Lei is a friend who she can learn from and grow up with. Jing Lei is also always “willing to listen” and “silently supports” her. “(She) doesn’t roll her eyes when I’m impatient,” she adds fondly.
“This friend whom (I’ve) known for more than ten years, (I’ve) never seen her lose her temper. Until now…” Elin stated. However, she did cheekily bring up a past incident, referred to as 151. Elin said that Jing Lei would remember. The artist made it clear there was much more to say, however, she would rather do it in person. “Thanks for listening to her,” she ended her post. “Proud of you.” Elin is also close with Mandopop singer Rainie Yang, Taiwanese actress-model Tiffany Hsu and late Taiwanese host Alien Huang.
Taiwanese actress-model Terri Kwan (關穎) also took to her socials to speak her piece. She spoke no names but was likely discussing the current issue. Terri mentioned a woman whom, although they were not close friends, did share several mutual ones. The actress-model added she had been shocked and distressed when the news broke.
Terri shared that she often sees the lady dressed in unbranded things and keeps a low profile. The two may not be close, but they do share things in common. Terri stated they often discuss light hearted topics and educating kids.
The 45-year-old firmly believes the lady is not doing this for money. However, she did add that seeking alimony was fine as it’s normal for a husband to give his wife money. “I believe one should contribute within their own means,” she wrote. “It’s fine as along as both parties feel comfortable.” Terri also highlighted that the money was more for the children’s living expenses than for the lady’s comfort. “I don’t think the terms that she has stated are demanding at all. How can one be so rich yet so stingy?” Terri asked.
Jing Lei has been hoping things would die down after Leehom’s apology. However, recent events have proven otherwise. Although times have been tough for her, her friends have probably been a reassuring source of comfort.
Hopefully, Jing Lei will get a well-needed break from everything after this. In the meantime, you guys can catch up on the whole scandal here.
