Addy claimed Yifeng made $300K from doing live stream sales with him
According to Addy, when Yifeng joined him on his live streams, during which he mainly sold his hair care products, he always had to do what Yifeng wanted and follow her wishes. He added she has always been the kind to “get angry easily”, further describing her as “overbearing”.
“She would always string me along, and sometimes I had to put up with her temper tantrums,” he said.
He claimed she was upset she had to sell products on live stream and insinuated that Addy had rode on her fame to become a successful live streamer.
In one instance, she made her unhappiness very obvious by ignoring Addy, refusing to engage with him on a stream. He said the experience left him feeling very “insulted”.
He said Yifeng was getting paid to do live stream sales with him and she actually made $300K during that time. “More than what she would normally make in a year,” he said.
“After earning $300K, she threw a tantrum,” ranted Addy. “Those who watched my streams would know… she sat there and ignored me. I heard from my assistant that when mother and daughter were having a meal, they [talked about how] I was making use of her fame.”

Yifeng and Eleanor allegedly moved into Addy’s home with their respective boyfriends and did not pay rent
Addy said after Yifeng sold her house, she and Eleanor moved into his place with their respective boyfriends.
“No, they did not pay a single cent,” said Addy when a viewer asked if they paid rent.
He added that whenever Yifeng and Eleanor needed anything, he would get his helper to buy it for them.
Addy, however, did not interact with Yifeng much during this period as there was already tension brewing from the live stream incident.
He said Yifeng eventually moved out, and she sent him a text expressing her wish to “talk things out” with him. She also apologised for imposing on him.
In Addy’s reply to Yifeng, he admitted he was very hurt by her, especially because he saw her as a family member.

He does not treat Eleanor as his goddaughter anymore
That text was the last exchange between Addy and Yifeng. It was around four years ago.
Addy said he has since been asking others to stop calling Eleanor his goddaughter. He claimed he is only airing his grievances now as he no longer wants his name and photos included in reports on Eleanor’s scandal.
He also emphasised that Yifeng is not a “bad person”, but just someone with “a very bad temper”.

Eleanor went to get her hair styled by Addy’s rumoured long-time rival David Gan just days after moving out of Addy’s home
Addy said his fight was not with Eleanor, but Yifeng. He felt Eleanor, who was already an adult, should have helped mediate the situation instead of completely dropping him from her life as well.
A few days after moving out from his place, Yifeng took Eleanor to get her hair done at Passion Hair Salon, which is owned by celebrity hairstylist David Gan. For those who don’t know, David and Addy have long been rumoured to be rivals in Singapore’s hairstyling scene.
Addy also claimed Eleanor later thanked David on Instagram for “saving her damaged hair”, implying that one of Addy’s hairstylists from Monsoon Hair Salon had ruined her hair.
Addy was slighted by the caption, adding that it was not only harmful to his stylist’s reputation, Eleanor was being very ungrateful.

He claimed Eleanor never once bought him a meal to thank him for helping her get her start in China’s showbiz scene
Addy claimed he played a big part in helping Yifeng raise Eleanor.
He took Eleanor shopping for luxury goods, contributed to her education and holiday expenses, and taught her proper manners and etiquette as a child.
When Eleanor wanted to venture into China showbiz scene, he helped land her a commercial gig with Apple. He said he even hired a coach to teach her how to catwalk and perfect her facial expressions.
He claimed Eleanor never bought him a single meal to thank him, though Yifeng might have done so “once or twice”. He again emphasised that he was hurt Eleanor did not get in touch with him after his falling out with her mum.
Addy added that Eleanor has inherited her mum’s bad temper.
“Her temper has gotten worse with fame,” he said.
