Vivian Lee Ming-wai claims assault by husband Johnson Chan amid an ongoing legal dispute over his family’s assets
A former Miss Hong Kong runner-up has accused her businessman husband of threatening her with a knife and choking her at their home earlier this year, while insisting her allegations are irrelevant to their ongoing legal dispute over his family’s assets.
Vivian Lee Ming-wai, 49, appeared at Eastern Court on Wednesday to testify against her husband, Johnson Chan, 58, who is on trial for criminal intimidation and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Lee came second in the 1997 Miss Hong Kong competition, ahead of Charmaine Sheh Sze-man, now a popular actress with the city’s largest broadcaster, TVB.
Lee married Chan, the younger son of the late entrepreneur Chan Shu-kui, in 2003.
