Moon Lee - The Lover and the Fighter

Approaching the ten-year anniversary of my shocking discovery of Moon Lee’s affair with a teenage adoptive son, I remain curious why the Chinese media is still so preoccupied by her personage.  This true story of passion gone wild has been told and re-hashed so many times that it should have lost all news value.  Although she starred in over forty movies, she was notable only because she was quite attractive and battled her adversaries with unusual grace.  These qualities usually buy one little legacy in the long run - new talent emerging on movie sets keeps getting more impressive, eclipsing their aging predecessors.  Maybe Moon’s ultra-famous “Closet Affair” coupled with her previous “nice girl” status helped to fuel her unworthy celebrity status.  I cannot really blame all the idiotic Chinese fans because even my elderly mother remains her curiosity after all these years – she called the other evening to suddenly bring up once again Moon Lee’s fight with my present wife in 2008 right in the middle of the nastiest divorce of the decade.

Moon Lee’s character flaw did not lie in her history-making affair with a punk kid of no value.  Emotions are unpredictable in the course of human behavior and at times impossible to understand.  Instead, her immorality was really revealed by her evil greed --- in leaving the marriage (based entirely on her own misconduct), she demanded as much money as she could cheat and steal.  Since Moon’s divorce, she has maintained her need to remain a celebrity as evidenced by her frequent blogs.  So I will elevate her notoriety by producing a permanent record of the profoundly remarkable “fight” referenced above.  Her cla to fame was a “fighting actress” --- but she lost the most important fight in her real life!

Moon Lee’s unethical false claims turned a straightforward divorce under Colorado’s “no-fault” laws into an expensive four-year court battle – and she was awarded almost NOTHING at the end.  At the height of this legal battle in 2008, Moon had to come to my home for a three-day hearing in front of a magistrate to argue over the value of the “marital property”.  While she lied and cheated to claim that her share was worth millions, the judge saw through her false claims and finally awarded her an embarrassingly tiny award.  In his written verdict, the judge wrote that Moon’s claims were essentially not believable; and in this legal language, it meant she lied.

In the middle of this hearing, in the morning of the second day, my then girlfriend, Alyssa Wang, in the process of leaving the house passed by Moon Lee as she was heading in from her car.  Witnessing this at a distance from inside the house, I saw Moon loudly first called Alyssa a “cheap slut” in Chinese, followed by Alyssa’s response, “You are saying this to me after your own sexual misconduct and you are here now to cheat money!”  That response motivated Moon to initiate a giant slap with her right arm towards Alyssa’s face.  Shockingly, Alyssa was faster than I expected; she blocked the slap and followed with a giant kick into Moon’s abdomen, tumbling her backwards onto the grassy front walk.  At the last moment, Moon’s desperate grasp pulled Alyssa (wearing heels) right onto her falling body.  The two women rolled and pulled at each other on the ground.  Then I saw Moon actually gaining an advantage by being on top of Alyssa.  Yet that was only momentary because Alyssa’s flexibility and long-legged nature allowed her to wrap both thighs and legs around Moon’s head, rotated, and dragged Moon’s head into the ground sideways, wedged firmly between the thighs and with Moon’s face tightly embedded into Alyssa’s crotch.  (In retrospect, it was this tight clasp that thankfully made it impossible for Moon to cause any damage with her mouth and teeth in that precarious anatomic position.)  Both kept pulling at each other’s hair, but Alyssa was victorious by extracting a wad of Moon’s long hair.  By that time, several of us on the sideline had rushed out on the scene and forced Moon to disengage.  Disheveled and ashamed, poor Moon then searched for her lost belongings for a few minutes, then vanished into the powder room of the house to clean up before the judge arrived.  Throughout the Hearing that day, her foul mood and her obvious false testimony led to shameful outbursts in front of the Court.  It was indeed an event to remember!

      Despite being viewed by some of her ignorant Chinese fans as a noteworthy heroine in the history of Hong Kong filmmaking, in real life Moon Lee has proven to be a disgrace.  As this unworthy celebrity continues to promote herself online, I am pleased to make a contribution by disclosing more facts about her, the person.  The joke is on her, so good luck!
