In a stunning revelation, Mediacorp host Quan Yifeng has finally opened up about her controversial fallout with former best friend and celebrity hairstylist Addy Lee. This clash erupted on May 13 and 14, 2025, when Lee took to Facebook Live with scathing accusations against Quan and her daughter, actress Eleanor Lee.

Addy claimed Quan was ungrateful and noted her penchant for a bad temper, alleging that after they made a staggering S$300,000 through their livestream sales during the pandemic, she abruptly ended their lucrative collaboration.

However, when Quan addressed the issue in a candid interview with Zaobao, she revealed that their friendship's demise wasn't due to a simple temper tantrum. Instead, it stemmed from complex feelings and ethical dilemmas.

At the pandemic's onset, Quan, fresh from selling her Siglap penthouse, moved in with Lee as they pursued livestream sales together, an opportunity Lee had latched onto. Quan found herself grinding for hours—over 10 each day—streaming sometimes for as long as 14 hours straight!

"I was exhausted to the point of wanting to die," Quan admitted, but this wasn’t the reason for her departure. She earned a staggering $400,000 in just three months, a sum that dwarfed her annual salary from Mediacorp.

Yet, surprisingly, these newfound riches brought her anxiety. As her supervisors at Mediacorp grew uneasy with her livestream activities, Quan started feeling ethical qualms about promoting products she didn’t fully understand, especially when fans began buying excessive amounts just to support her.

"I didn’t want to exploit the very people who helped me rebuild my career. I chose to walk away rather than risk hurting them," she explained.

That fateful night, while hiding from Addy’s relentless assistant, Quan finally decided to step back, and her awkward appearance on livestream that evening led to a swift conclusion of the show. Shortly after, she and Eleanor packed their bags, leaving a heartfelt farewell note behind.

Despite the fallout, Quan preferred to maintain a level of respect, stating, "If parting is necessary, let it be peaceful." Fast-forward to now, and the drama hasn’t cooled down as Addy Lee has since turned his sharp tongue towards another former business partner, actress Michelle Chia.

On May 15, 2025, Lee publicly aired his grievances against Chia during a livestream, alleging she had ignored his requests regarding unpaid wages and even threatened to unveil scandalous details about her alleged escapades with a male celebrity.

Chia responded cryptically on Instagram, sharing wise words about the merits of discretion. Meanwhile, Addy accused her of abandoning their responsibilities after a work trip to Europe, further fueling the fire of speculation around their tumultuous relationships.

In the midst of this unfolding saga, one can't help but wonder: how long will these celebrity feuds continue to make headlines? Drama and revelations abound as Quan, Addy, and Michelle navigate their friendships turned rivalries.
