Spices of Life

A self-professed religious man has gone from reality star to suspected murderer.

Brian Lee Randone, who appeared on a reality series called, "America's Sexiest Bachelor," will be arraigned next week in Los Angeles for allegedly torturing and murdering ex-porn star Felicia Lee (a.k.a., Felicia Tang).

Randone is being held on $25 million bail.

According to police, on September 11, Randone called 911 to report Lee was not breathing. The couple had been living together for several months.

The 45-year-old former minister quickly fell under suspecion, the Los Angles Times reported. Lee was found to have been chocked and beaten. Randone was charged with her death a few days later.

Lee appeared in several porn films as Felicia Tang, but had landed some small parts in features such as "Rush Hour 2" and "The Fast and the Furious."



He is a one-time contestant on the show “America’s Sexiest Bachelor” who, according to his website, traveled the world ministering through a mime performance.

She was a model and entertainer who had bit roles in Hollywood blockbusters and featured roles in adult movies.

Now, Brian Lee Randone is accused of torturing and killing Felicia Tang Lee in the home they shared in Monrovia.

"She did not deserve to be beaten … she was a nice gal and she didn’t deserve it,” said Candace Kita, who worked with Lee as a model.

Lee was beaten and choked, according to authorities. Prosecutors said torture charges were filed because of the severity of her injures and evidence that she died slowly.
