ONE Championship: Angela Lee says ‘stop hiring private investigators, stop the conspiracy theories’ after sister Victoria’s death
- Victoria Lee’s celebration of life in Hawaii switched to closed event by family because of ‘media outbreak’ surrounding 18-year-old’s death
- ‘Stop contacting us,’ ONE’s atomweight MMA champion adds – ‘I ask you respect our wishes to not give any further public statements’
Victoria Lee’s celebration of life, which was expected to be held in Hawaii last Sunday, was changed to a closed event for her immediate family only.
The ceremony was set for the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park and Funeral Homes in Kaneohe, before her burial. The funeral home had publicly announced her death this month, before Lee’s 26-year-old sister confirmed the news.
Angela Lee revealed the celebration of life “unfortunately” had to be closed off from the public, despite an outpouring of support for the family from fans and figures in the MMA community, because of the “media outbreak” after her younger sister’s death.
“We have decided as a family to make Victoria’s celebration of life a closed event, for immediate family only. We greatly appreciate your understanding,” ONE’s atomweight MMA champion wrote in an Instagram post last week.
“To our community and close friends, thank you for your kind words and prayers for our family during this time. This has been, and continues to be, an extremely difficult time for our family.
