 Rupert Murdoch’s third wife, Wendi Deng, thrust herself into the world spotlight when she smacked down a pie-throwing activist during Tuesday’s parliamentary hearings. But who is the woman behind the man under fire? Melinda Liu reports. 
  
 Don’t mess with Wendi Deng, Murdoch’s 43-year-old Chinese-born wife. For most of today’s hearing, Wendi sat demurely behind her husband, appropriately loyal and supportive, her salmon-colored jacket and royal blue blouse standing out in a sea of sober charcoal gray. But those who know Wendi were not surprised to see her leap into action to defend her man. When a man in a checkered shirt burst into the room—triggering alarm but seeming to paralyze many onlookers—and slammed a foam pie over Rupert Murdoch’s face, it was his third wife—who was a volleyball player in her youth—who went on the offensive. Wendi lunged toward the attacker, pushing down a gray-clad woman in the way with her left hand and using her right arm to smack the guy on the top of his head. 
  
 If Wendi stole the show, it was a performance for which she could have been rehearsing all her life. Wendi might appear willowy and demure, but she’s also tall—at least 5 foot 10—and extremely tough. She was born in the nondescript city of Xuzhou in coastal Jiangsu province in China in 1968. That was a time of tumult and ugliness during the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution when radical Red Guards persecuted intellectuals and “capitalist roaders” in bloody “criticism sessions” that sometimes ended in death. In fact, Wendi’s Chinese name—Wen Di (“Cultural Enlightenment”)—was not the name she was born with. At first, befitting the political environment at the time, her parents named her Wen Ge, meaning “Cultural Revolution,” and it’s a testament to the turmoil and struggle that swirled through Chinese society during her childhood.

 Her father was a factory manager and engineer who was not particularly powerful or wealthy but a loyal Communist Party member nevertheless. With her parents, three sisters, and brother, Wendi lived in a modest three-room home. She wasn’t especially distinguished at school, although she was an enthusiastic volleyball player, adept enough to become a member of the junior city team. All of which may explain the ease and speed with which she smacked down Rupert’s attacker in today’s hearing, and the adroit way in which she swept aside anyone who stood between her and her target. 
  
 While today’s performance could well be seen as the most important “slam dunk” of her life, Wendi has always been proactive and ambitious. When her family relocated to Guangzhou in southern China, she changed her name to Wen Di, enrolled in medical school but quit, and then befriended an American family, the Cherrys. Like her own father, Jake Cherry was a factory manager and an engineer. Wendi learned English from him and his wife, Joyce. Their friendship grew and the Cherrys agreed to sponsor the 19-year-old Chinese woman to come to the U.S. for undergrad courses at California State University in Northridge. There Wendi lived with the Cherrys, sometimes sharing a room with their young daughter. She eventually moved out, and two years later, in 1990, married Jake, who by that time had divorced Joyce. After a marriage that lasted long enough for Wendi to obtain her U.S. green card, Wendi divorced Jake, who is three decades her senior. (Jake had discovered she was having an affair with a younger man, David Wolf, whom Wendi later married but later divorced as well.) 
  
 After graduating from Yale in 1996, she landed an internship with Star TV in Hong Kong, the centerpiece of Murdoch’s operations in Greater China. That brought her into the orbit of the legendary media mogul who would become her third husband. The following year Wendi crashed the annual Star TV gala dinner where she met Rupert in an encounter that was apparently as memorable as it was brief (less than a minute, according to Hong Kong lore). You might say that the rest is history. Now Wendi is playing the role of devoted mother to her and Rupert’s two young children, of film producer, and of loyal wife. ||||| Oh. My. God. The culture committee’s 15 minutes of fame just got cut short by an Evil Pie-Thrower. The story on tomorrow’s front pages will not be any admissions wheedled out of the Murdochs, but Wendi Deng’s heroic intervention to save her husband. 
  
 On the BBC clip of the incident, destined to be repeated with 9/11-like regularity, you can just make out Wendi launching herself at the out-of-shot perpetrator. She goes vertical – a Tiger Wife in full battle cry – and then you hear a terrific slap. Cut to the dishevelled-looking protestor, face covered in shaving foam. "I got him," went up Wendi's cry. And by Jupiter, she did. 
  
 This is disastrous for the House of Commons. It was supposed to be the big day, the moment when Britain's Parliament turned the tables on an evil corporate wrongdoer. Instead, the story will be, "How did the protestor get past security?" This is particularly baffling, given that he must have had a large pie in his hand. In the eyes of the world, this will just seem like an example of the House of Commons's gross negligence. 
  
 It's also great news for the Murdochs. Not only is Rupert instantly transformed from villain to victim and anything embarrassing he or James may have said will be knocked off the front pages. But it will give him and James and other high-ranking News International executives an excuse not to appear before House of Commons select committees in future on the grounds that security is too lax. 
  
 And to think: The person who achieved this coup on behalf of the Murdochs is probably a member of the progressive left. |||||
Solution:
When a protester launched a pie at Rupert Murdoch today, his wife leaped to his rescue, pushing others aside before bashing the assailant on the head. Where did 42-year-old Wendi Deng get such guts—and such reflexes? Born in China, she grew up at a tough time in the country’s history, when intellectuals and “capitalist roaders” faced persecution, writes Melinda Liu at the Daily Beast. It also probably helped that she’s a 5-foot-10 former volleyball star. "While today's performance could well be seen as the most important 'slam dunk' of her life, Wendi has always been proactive and ambitious," writes Liu in her profile. (Click to read the full piece.) Her smackdown made her the star of today’s hearings, grabbing headlines like the Telegraph’s: “The Battle Cry of the Tiger Wife: Wendi Deng Saves Frail Husband From Evil Pie-Thrower.” In that paper, Toby Young observes that her effort marks a victory for the Murdochs in the public eye. Rupert is “instantly transformed from villain to victim and anything embarrassing he or James may have said will be knocked off the front pages,” Young writes. What’s more, they’ll now have “an excuse not to appear before House of Commons select committees in future”: poor security.
