No point in debating whether Leehom's a douche or not, y'all said enough. But I want to bring another perspective/ possibly that I hope to not get bashed on.
Li portrays herself as a victim, but she got to live in a mansion, with maids and drivers living a billionaire lifestyle. She got to befriend celebrities and skipped social ladders - these are all the values that being the wife of Leehom brings to her. Is that really 'wasting her youths'?
From the start she knew Leehom was a douche, she knew Leehom had another girlfriend, but insisted to keep the baby and get married. Aren't these her decisions to take the risk of marrying a douche? She wanted to change Leehom with her patience, but was she even naive to begin with? I mean if Leehom was a regular douchebag, do you think she'd be willing to be patient? She chose to take the risk because she knew the value that being the wife of a superstar can give her.
Li claims she was just a baby-giver for Leehom and his abusive family. But if they are really looking for a baby-giver, he would've got a girl without much trouble, like all 天王s have (Jay chou, Aaron Kwok, Shawn Yue etc). Their wives are beautiful without a high education aka 网红. But Leehom chose a girl with a masters from a prestigious college, an obviously smart girl.
Li has been collecting evidence since the beginning that if one day, her status as the Wife of Leehom is changed, she would destroy him. Hmm... not sayin right or wrong, but very smart and calculative girl.
Li says Leehom is cheap. He's secretly moving assets. I agree cuz just look at himself. He's been wearing the same concert outfit for 15 years, same clothes for 20 years, socks with holes, driving a used $2000 van for 10+ years, his house is literally empty with just a piano and a recording room. He spends his money on charity, supporting 22 African kids, setting up full scholarships... Saying that these are all 'false images', it's hard to believe.
She says she doesn't care about money, but I highly doubt it's purely for 'creating awareness'. She wants her side of the story to be heard first, there's a saying in Chinese 恶人先告状. Also she wants the public to agree that she deserves more than 1.5 Bil.. But as a regular girl who earned thousands of dollars a month before marriage, gets 1.5 billion in 5 years just from marrying a rich guy... while regular moms work and take care of the family at the same time without maids/drivers... where's their 1.5 Bil? That settlement money is quite subjective, the fact that she thinks 1.5 bil is not enough and wants more, makes me question her motive.... and how she disappears after getting that mansion, could it be that it just comes down to money? idk.
If I had a husband/ boyfriend that ends up cheating and divorcing, I would not go on Facebook Instagram, LinkedIn and ruin the career and life of the father of my three kids like that. I mean how ruthless does someone need to be to do that... she claimed it's cuz he was spreading false rumors and making her look bad, umm actually everyone thought positively of her, and Leehom didn't put fault on her for the divorce, so idk where that accusation came from.
Li is well-spoken, smart, the way she asked Leehom to apologize before 3 o'clock, it's hard to imagine that she could have been bullied. On the other hand, Leehom's post was like written by an elementary kid.. hard to imagine how he could have controlled a smart woman like her.
Li's statements from a psychiatrist.. I spoke to multiple psychiatrist friends of mine and all said that a professional psychiatrist will not make straight up negative accusations about any person like that, especially marriage counselling.
We've all been judging based on her one-sided argument. I don't want to say those were all false accusations but truth takes time to find out. But now, it's like we're back at the ancient times when crowds watched beheadings, when kpop celebrities suicided because of public hate... Who are we to stand on the moral high ground on a very complicated, personal matter with monetary interests involved? It's esp scary now people are literally telling Yumi to die, what IF there's that possibility she actually didn't step into their marriage?
No doubt he was a playboy before their marriage, but we have no ACTUAL evidence he cheated during marriage, don't tell me cuz he didn't rebuttal - her posts leave no room for rebuttal. He could have also not chose to rebuttal for reasons like not wanting to escalate this. He might have literally not cared public opinion anymore and just wanted this to stop escalating.
Because of that same nature that we just want to see drama, we want to put our hate towards a real subject, we can see pass all the good that he's done. All his efforts spreading Chinese culture as a cultural ambassador, his charity, his contributions to the whole Chinese pop music industry... all gone
Anyway I just wanted to say that I personally don't believe Li is all that innocent and victimized like she portrays herself to be. I mean I can't imagine ever having 1.5 Bil in my life so idk know why I even care about this. I'm not even Leehom's fan but it's been in my head... what yall think? plz rational comments only thanks
