Isabella Leung and Richard Li developed a relationship that differed by at least 20 years 「忘年戀」. They started after EEG brought the 'lawsuit of the century' against Isabella. After dragging on for almost half a year, there was a breakthrough in the lawsuit yesterday when Richard Li and EEG agreed to settle out of court. EEG responds: "In the future, Isabella can do whatever she wants to do."
Isabella Leung, who is 20 years old this year, claimed that in 2001, when she was only 12 years old, she had to sign the contract to become a star so that she could support her family. After which, she came out with albums, filmed movies and commercials, bringing her fame and great achievements. Last year, when she shot Hollywood film "The Mummy 3", through matchmaker Michelle Yeoh, she met "Super Diamond bachelor" 「超級鑽石王老五」 Richard Li who is 22 years her senior. Richard left his then girlfriend, 羅愛欣, and started secretly planning to free Isabella. "Luo Kai love" 「洛楷戀」 was a heated rumor at the time, but Isabella was slow in responding making these rumors even more confusing. Early in the year, Isabella was seen shopping in brand name stores like a wealthy woman (闊太). It was also widely rumored that Richard invested money in starting a business to boost his 'little girlfriend' (小女友). Afterwards, Isabella flew to the US to improve her English to prepare for Hollywood and, later, to marry into a wealthy family.
Hearing scheduled for tomorrow
Earlier this year, Isabella's image changed from an 'innocent young girl' to a 'rebellious young woman'. All of a sudden coming up with many requests and even refusing to obediently follow her company's scheduled work for her. In March of this year, through a lawyer, she announced that she will no longer fulfill the company's contract. EEG spending a lot of energy and money, singlehandedly created her into the movie industry's newcomer queen. With these losses, EEG brought the lawsuit into the High Courts, suing Isabella for breach of contract and forbidding her to take on work that EEG did not schedule for her. It was rumored that Richard Li spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer for Isabella and EEG put together a group of top lawyers to fight against her. Because they had different reasons for suing each other, the case dragged on for over half a year. It was decided that tomorrow, the court will decide who will be the plaintiff and who will be the defendant.
EEG admits to settlement
Recently, there was a sudden development in which Isabella's side requested for EEG to settle out of court. This sudden progress can be said to be Richard Li's 42nd birthday gift (his birthday is this weekend). Yesterday, reporters contacted EEG's Artiste Management and Albums Department Manager Mani Fok to confirm. Mani confirmed the out of court settlement, saying: "Yes, but that's all I can say right now about the settlement. I can't reveal any details, that is one of the conditions of the settlement. In the future, Isabella can do whatever she wants to do."
