SECURITY! Star Jones Gets Justin Ross Lee Banned From Polo
[Justin Ross Lee gets the smackdown from security. Picture by JT WHITE] I have a confession to make. While I have made the acquaintance of Justin Ross Lee before, it was pre-posting days of his antics. I hadn’t “formally” met JRL besides our brief Pink Elephant run-in in the Hamptons, so when he made a point to introduce himself to me at the closing day of the Mercedes-Benz Polo at Blue Star Jets Field this past Saturday, I knew I was in for a real treat. Wearing coral pants and an over the top paisley shirt, oversized Star-of-David necklaces nestled in his chest hair, JRL filled me in on how he was banned from the polo grounds. His VIP access bracelet? Put on by himself. According to what JRL told me, this was a result of a picture he posted on his Facebook that we re-posted on the site of him and Star Jones, that was photo-shopped in typical JRL style. Taken at the opening day of polo, the now infamous pic of him and Star was snapped after they had both been interviewed for Plum TV. Pre-posting it, he photo-shopped a picture of “Devil Dogs” snacks above Star’s head…
While I was a bit confused at how he could swing entry into the grounds if he was banned, he spent half of our conversation being on the look-out for security. Seems he had good reason to be paranoid: “I’m now also banned from Strategic properties, Marquee, Avenue [because of Ashley Olsen], and Tao in Las Vegas“, says JRL, because of Star’s current anger to the Facebook personality. On top of this, apparently the former View host didn’t find her cake-hat amusing, and Justin got himself into a bit of a jam: “Star made it clear to Polo administrators (Noah Tepperberg) that ‘it’s either him or me’ and insisted that I vanish into a black hole and be thrown out of orbit from future Polo events”, JRL added.
In regards to Noah Tepperberg, Justin Ross Lee also had to say this: “Instead of approaching me himself, he cowardly called over a senior member of his security staff and began screaming at him as to how I was able to walk right in after all the JRL briefings and emails going around at Strategic Group,” as well as “Unfortunately I didn’t catch Noah on a good hair day… I was quickly approached by 4 security guards, one who was undercover, and told that I must surrender my polo bracelet and leave the property.” Hard to believe? The proof is in the pictures (and our conversation). Besides, it’s JRL. Anything is possible.
Sidenote: My favorite part of my conversation with Justin was when I told him I felt our posts about him had created a “monster”. He replied “No, they just discovered one.”

You kick ass JRL.

This sort of thing doesn’t happen at the Bathing Corporation, perhaps there should be memberships for polo????
Justin Ross Lee is one of the richest celebrities in the Hamptons. He owns Lee Jeans and is the heir to the billion dollar Lee Jeans empire. It is only a matter of time until there is an E! True Hollywood Story about how rich he is and how lavish his lifestyle is. In Murray Hill, Justin lives in a $50 million dollar penthouse on top of the most prestigious building in Manhattan, known as The Future. It is one of the best addresses in NYC, if not the world.
Justin earns over $344 million dollars each year from LEE JEANS where he is on the board of directors and also one of their largest, most famous share-holders.
This is where all of his incredible fortune wealth comes from.
Many people believe that Justin’s wealth comes from Shun Lee Palace, the famous Chinese restaurant. This is false. He does, however, own LEE JEANS and inherits his wealth from the denim dynasty known as LEE Jeans Inc.

He lives in “The Anthem” on 34th st. I know because i’ve sene him there when visiting friends and in all over his pictures on face book have pictures from the lobby. It’s a rental building. Nice but not terribly so.
Justin does own LEE JEANS and this is where most of his money comes from- however, he has earned millions of dollars appearing at social events and clubs in NYC, Las Vegas and most in the Hamptons. The nightclub owners and promoters pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars per night for attending their parties, as do other publications like the Hamptons Magazines. It helps them to have a celebrity at their places.
Justin is not the CEO of LEE Jeans, so whomever said this is wrong.
He is one of the biggest shareholders, though and may own more than 40 or 50% of this very large corporation.
I’ve heard that Justin Lee is the 1st or 2nd cousin of Kimora Lee, who used to be married to that old guy who goes to every party in the Hamptons, Russell Simmons. Not sure if it’s true or not.
Justin Ross Lee does live in an incredible penthouse- supposedly, according to an industry insider, his homes will be featured in a large ‘Architectural Digest’ spread later this year.
Justin is not related to Kimora, but he is a distant relative of Tommy Lee. They are cousins, twice configured.
This is why Justin visits Tommy Lee’s estate in Malibu.
Every Sunday night, Justin hosts an elaborate dinner party at his East Hampton compound known as The Lee Compound. It is on desirable Meadows Lane right on the ocean. Last week, they served over $140K worth of imported caviars and also hundreds of bottles of fine, French champagnes.
There were hundreds of women at the event, some were even models.
IF THEY BANNED JUSTIN FROM POLO, I’M NEVER GOING BACK. HE IS THE STAR OF POLO- AND HE WILL START HIS OWN POLO EVENT AT HIS LARGE ESTATE PROPERTY RIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE HAMPTONS.

He drives around in a C-Class, EW
The Hamps can use a good shaking up every now and then. Good Shit JRL.
Justin Lee doesn’t have a C - Class - he doesn’t even drive because he couldn’t reach the pedal.
His friend, Drew, drives around in the worst Mercedes, a C - Class which only costs 29 thousand dollars to buy. He brags about his Mercedes and even wears the hat. There are more expensive Hondas on the market than his cheap Mercedes model.
Justin may own Lee Jeans, but that is a very small company compared to larger players like Levi’s or even GAP / Old Navy.
Justin’s family business is huge but he spends so much money that he will always be broke.
His monthly expenses on fine dining and clothing totals more than $ 1 million USD.
Justin shops more than anyone in NYC- he has a 3 bedroom apartment at the Apthorp luxury condos in Murray Hill where he keeps most of his limited edition apparel. He spends millions per year on clothing.

justin stop writing all of these comments about yourself under different names. we can see your server and know its you. I had to say something when I saw you were promoting yourself again, this time claiming under differnt names you were affiliated with lee jeans. Anyone who is in the know knows you are not affiliated with lee jeans as the ceo and family are related to me, are syrian and from my town NOT in long island. You are an embarrassment to society and need to stop trying so hard. By no means do you make 334 million a year nor do you live in a multi million dollar penthouse. you dont make millions of dollars making appearance as nightclubs sweetheart because an A list celebrity only makes a couple hundred thousand. You have to get a table to even get inside most of the time… We all know you live in the anthem and your the single and only person who promotes himself. You have zero class and stalk celebrities. you are striving to be one yourself. something that will never ever happen. get a face job and have fun driving around in your C class which i had when i was 16. NO ONE thinks your attractive, cool, rich, desirable, or by any means a socialite. no one even knows who you are. i bet you pay the girl who writes this website to write about you bc she even sounds ignorant when doing so(which you should really stop because this is supposed to be a socialite/celebrity infused website and if you really knew the noboby justin was you would be mortified. do your homework please for both your sakes!! ). Im not even trying to be mean. im just trying to help you out. and im sure you will think well if people are talking then its a good thing… no honey, its not a good thing. your being laughed at by everyone who knows the real you and grew up with you. knows your family and friends. you seriously have issues. I know you know YOUR A TYPICAL GENERIC PLAIN JEWISH KID FROM LI . just like everyone else you hang out with. stop trying to be someone your not.. youll never get ahead in life by doing so. be happy with who you are bro. which is average.

Justin’s grandfather, Sir Constable Lee, sold Lee Jeans to to the VF Corporation many years back. The Lee family netted several hundred millions of dollars and a sizable portion of stock in the VF Corp (stock symbol: VFC). Justin’s family owns approximately 10% of the company which has a market cap of 7.46 billion. That gives his family a net worth of approximately 750 million, nevermind their other assets. There is a chance you may see them on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2010 if Justin slows down his spending!

Justin Lee does not drive a C Class. He has a fleet of over 50 vehicles which his family updates yearly. You may see him most frequently in his Audi S4, because he prefers that to go to and from the city. It is compact and fast, convenient for NYC driving. Included in his fleet are modest vehicles including a Ranger Rover Supercharged, BMW 650i convertible and a Carrera 4S convertible. Yet, he most recently purchased a Rolls Royce Phantom and also the Drophead coupe. I also heard that he is taking delivery on a Bugatti Veyron in the fall.

Here’s the story:
He laughs at all the posts. Eats it up. He’s the type of person that if he were to post something, he’d let you know.
Here are the facts:
-He’s originally from Scarsdale, not LI.
-He drives a C63 AMG Mercedes ($70K, not 29K) which is one of the fastest things on the road.
-He is absolutely hysterical.
Team JRL
Justin does own Lee Jeans- go look at the companies list of largest shareholders and he is at the top of the list.
LEE JEANS is one of the biggest corporations in the world- making Justin one of the wealthiest scions of a large empire and family estate.
How else could one afford such an incredible lifestyle? His private jet alone cost him $50 million, and he has 2 maybe even 3 Maybachs each with different drivers in NYC to chauffeur around all of his broads.
Justin has a Bentley GT convertible which you will see him driving around Murray Hill in (usually at high speeds). His other car (that he usually doesn’t drive) is a Maybach S Edition.
Justin always pays cash. When asked where his significant fortune comes from- he always told my partner and I that he owns a large denim company (which we assumed was LEE Jeans).
August 25, 2009 5:20pm
your a joke…you realize that your the one who looks like an idiot writing a 5 paragraph response to some posts that are clearly fake . he may be a joke to you, but your the one who cares enough to talk about HIM.
August 25, 2009 5:47pm
Seriously, do you people have nothing better to do? You sound so stupid!! If it’s true that Justin is posting all of this then He is pathetic… I agree 100% with “Your a joke” bc He is a joke, has been and always will. I see him out at events and he clearly just does not belong, It’s sad that people like himself will resort to anything to become famous or gain social status.. I really did not want to comment on this BS But all of you or just Justin have no idea what True Wealth is, because at the end of the day you could have your “C” Class or any other external thing you want but you will never be happy bc you can’t be content with the fact that your not famous nor socialites you guys are all just pretentious little followers. Instead of focusing your time and energy into Justin and his stupidity, why not focus on helping your community or better yet yourselves bc sooner then later you are all in for a rude awakening…
Justin always dates models- when I went to dinner with him the other night, there were 20 women (all models) and him. The bill was over $60K and all we did was pop champagne. He’s a real boss.
The scorned shiksa clearly just wants a real man. Justin definitely owns LEE JEANS how else would he be so wealthy?
His family guest house in East Hamptons is worth more than 800K$ He has fur coats that are worth more than $800K
Justin owns many Range Rovers.
Drew, his friend, mooches everything from him, including women, caviar, champagne and vacations to Justins estate in the Hamptons.
That shiksa is a liar- I was at Justin’s waterfront estate home last week- it was incredible. He had about 200 friends over for a brunch and his mom doesn’t even live there. He has his own estate in East Hampton. HE OWNS LEE JEANS - MONEY AIN’T A THANG FOR HIM!
Justin may own LEE Jeans because he always wears the custom LEE Jenas which I thought were for him by his famous tailor, Tommy the Tailor.
His jeans always say LEE on them.
I once saw Justin boarding his helicopter over at the Murray Hill helipad - he was flying to his estate in the Hamptons. Justin has a lot of class- his estate is the one in East Hampton with the golf course grass.
Justin is more famous than most of the people in the Hamptons which is why he gets invited/ VIP to every event. The idiots from Polo will never have celebrities attend because Justin is far more powerful & richer than the Star Jones.
Also, there wasn’t any place to sit down at Polo.
I’m excited to go to Justin’s new nightclub in the meatpacking district- he is the investor in a very exclusive club called LEE
It has a rooftop VIP section with bottle service, and space for dancing on the dance floor.
He was in the Hamptons, tying up loose ends. Driving through town, in a Maybach Benz.

Justin Lee is synonymous with one word: RICH. Some may describe him as wealthy yet that is a huge understatement for a man of his stature. I went to day school with Justin for many years and his bagged lunch said it all about him. While my friends and I would often bring a Juicy Juice or a Capri Sun as a drink, Justin would bring a small miniature bottle of sparkling apple cider…Martinellis none the less. And while most kids brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or ham and cheese, Justin often brought a cornished hen or a lobster roll. His birthday parties were more extravagant than most kid’s bar/bat mitzvahs. They always had the finest entertainment and the best spreads. He would always have a sushi bar from Nobu with a wide array of rare and expensive fish. His parting gifts at his Bar Mitzvah were Tag Heuer watches, valued at over $1,000. He has lived a life that many could only dream about. I am not sure why there is so much animosity towards him, yet I can only imagine it is because of one thing: ENVY.

Justin was JewJetting w/o internet on a flight from LA when many of these posts were written. I know this cause I have the pleasure of knowing him personally.
I have never seen so much hate towards such a good man. Just has always been a hard working, honest and down to earth guy. So what, he was born into one o the wealthiest families in the world, the LEE dynasty. It wasn’t his choice- but at least he is a philanthropist (donating millions to the poor each year).
I went to Hebrew school with Justin- each day, he’d bring the finest gefilte fish to class for us all to enjoy. He had his own private fisherman/chef catch these gdfiltes off the coast of Southampton, where the gefilte is easiest caught.
He always had great taste, wearing designer clothing and fragrances.
I’ll never forget the time at Justins bar mitzvah when he gave out $100 bills and xbox to his friends.
The best thing about him is that he always wears the hippest clothing. His custom tailor, Tom the Tailor, makes the best suits on earth. Justin can afford it- I have heard that he pays over $165,000 per suit.
He always wears fine clothes- even his socks are custom costig over $550 per sock (made from fine cottons).
I hope you will all give him a break and appreciate him for who he is- RICH.
Justins yacht is luxurious, with many staterooms and a helipad. From Murray Hill to the yacht, direct flight.

what a lucky little rich bastard
