Celeb hairstylist Addy Lee regrets knowing TV host Quan Yifeng and her daughter Eleanor Lee

Malaysia-born celebrity hairstylist Addy Lee has confirmed he fell out with local TV host Quan Yifeng, formerly a long-time close friend of his, over disagreements related to live-stream sales they did together.

Singapore-based Lee, 54, disclosed these details in a Facebook live stream on May 13, after teasing earlier on social media that he will be speaking about Quan, 51, and her actress-daughter Eleanor Lee, 25.

Addy Lee is Eleanor's godfather. Her biological father is Quan's ex-husband, local actor Peter Yu, from whom she is estranged.

In his rambling six-hour tirade, Lee said he was "close like family" with Quan for many years. But their relationship soured when Lee invited Quan to conduct live-stream sales, alongside him, for hair products during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Over a month, the pair reportedly earned more than $300,000.

But a rift soon arose, Lee alleged, when Quan complained that they were selling the same products with little variation and began throwing temper tantrums by ignoring audience questions on joint live streams. Lee also said his assistant told him Quan and Eleanor said behind Lee's back that they felt like he was leveraging their popularity to boost his live-stream sales.
