Singaporean actress Eleanor Lee done gone and broke her silence on all the drama swirling around a leaked audio clip that supposedly got her talking smack about Chinese nationals. The whole shebang kicked off when some random netizen claiming to be Lee’s ex-assistant dropped a 30-second recording on Weibo back in April. In the clip, you can hear a woman saying she ain’t in it for the fame, just the cash, and calling most folks in China a bunch of dummies.
Eleanor Lee, who plays the spooky Nip Siu-sin in “The Enchanting Phantom”, came out saying, “My bad for stirring up all this mess and wasting everyone’s time. I was shook when I heard that recording. I swear on everything I didn’t say that.” The second-gen celeb – her mom’s Singaporean TV host Quan Yifeng and her pops is actor Peter Yu – spilled, “I’m 26 now and I’ve been living it up in China for close to half my life. I’ve gotten mad chances here and been able to shine in a job I adore. I got nothing but love and thanks for this place.”
She didn’t really elaborate on the whole situation, but she did say she’s grateful for the support she’s received from fans and industry peeps. Lee also made it clear that she ain’t about that drama life and just wants to focus on her acting career. Not really sure why this matters, but hey, that’s showbiz for ya.
The leaked audio clip caused quite the stir online, with many netizens expressing disappointment in Lee’s alleged comments. Some even called for her to be cancelled, while others defended her, saying it could have been taken out of context. Either way, the whole situation has definitely put a spotlight on the actress and her career.
Despite the backlash, Lee seems to be taking it all in stride. She’s been keeping a low profile on social media, only posting about her work and staying out of the drama. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like she’s handling the whole mess like a pro.
At the end of the day, it’s clear that Eleanor Lee is focused on her career and won’t let a little scandal bring her down. She’s got a bright future ahead of her, and this whole situation will likely just be a blip on the radar. So, here’s to Eleanor Lee and her continued success in the entertainment industry. Cheers to that!
