Wang Leehom’s wife posts another letter, says he tried to bribe her to recant statement
Lee Jinglei has asked for a public apology by 3pm, Sunday (Dec 19). Will Wang apologise or keep his silence?
We can’t keep up with all the twists and turns in this scandalous saga of divorce, alleged adultery, in-laws and marital strife.
After Wang Leehom’s ex-wife, Lee Jinglei, posted a long, multiple-page letter on Dec 17 detailing the singer’s numerous infidelities in the course of their relationship, the internet blew up with comments and reactions.
BY2’s Yumi Bai, who was implicated as one of the people Wang had had an affair with – she once called him by the nickname ‘HomHom’ in a social media post, which Lee wrote about without mentioning her name – filed a police report in the wee hours of the morning of Dec 18 and posted a picture of the report on her own social media, captioning it, “Words have power. Spreading rumours can distort the truth. Something you say could kill someone else. I’m sorry to have bothered the police in the middle of the night.”
Lee responded by commenting, “Please give me the police officer’s contact details and I will provide them with evidence.”
And, while Wang, who was swiftly dropped by brands including car and jewellery brands Infiniti China and Chow Tai Seng, kept his silence, his father reportedly contacted Taiwanese media with his own letter, saying that Lee had forced Wang into marriage when she got pregnant by threatening to go to the media with a tell-all.
He also wrote that Wang had endured seven years of suffering including the last two years of hell, and that Lee had received hundreds of millions of Taiwanese dollars in addition to domestic helpers, a nanny for the children and a dedicated driver.
Her letter wasn’t written on the spur of the moment but had been carefully deliberated for two years, he said.

On Sunday morning (Dec 19) Lee posted another letter in response, saying she feels sad that at the age of 80, Wang’s father should have to lie to defend his 45-year-old son.
In the letter, she accused Wang of hiding behind his father and orchestrating the whole thing instead of facing the music, saying that the old man would not have known how to contact the media on his own.
“No matter how much dirty water you splash on me, your own clothes won’t get cleaner,” she wrote, clearly much aggrieved. “I was very reserved in my sharing because you’re still the children’s father, after all. I’m very disappointed that what today brought was not your apology but you trying to protect yourself again, using friends and relatives to distort the truth and bring me down.”
She went on to say that after her letter went out, Wang had tried to buy her silence.
“Yesterday afternoon, I received a message about you trying to bribe me. You said that if I apologised publicly saying I wrote what I did because I wasn’t of sound mind, you would give me the house I’m now living in with the kids. I told you I was very disappointed that after all these years you still haven’t realised that I’m not the kind of person who can be bought with money,” she wrote.
“The funny part is that I actually seriously considered your request to sacrifice my own reputation in order to save your career… You still selfishly believe that my reputation and future are of no consequence. Only yours is.”
