Chinese influencer Wo Shi Xia Xiao Jian, the self-proclaimed godson of Zhang Lan, in his recent stream said that the chartered flight that brought Barbie's ashes back to Taiwan from Japan, where she was holidaying with her family before her death, was paid for by her ex-husband.

Barbie Hsu's husband DJ Koo also lashed out at Wang Xiofei while mourning the death of his late wife. In a heartfelt post, he wrote, "My angel returned to the sky"; however, his post also took a strong tone as he criticized certain individuals for their insensitive and malicious behavior following Hsu's death.

DJ Koo stated that even before he and his family could properly grieve and come to terms with their loss, they were already being targeted by malicious individuals who were attacking them and spreading false information. He specifically mentioned that some people were pretending to be sad and paying their respects, while others were creating fake news stories about insurance and expenses in an attempt to tarnish his family's reputation.

DJ Koo's statement appears to be a thinly veiled criticism of Wang Xiaofei. The reference to someone, as he was spotted walking in the rain without an umbrella on the night of February 3 after returning to China upon hearing of Hsu's passing. A video of Wang Xiaofei walking in the rain had gone viral on social media, with some interpreting it as emotional distress over his wife's death.

Wang Xiaofei's ex-girlfriend, Zhang Yingying, recently wrote a strongly worded note on Weibo, criticizing the businessman for his alleged pretentious game after the passing of Barbie Hsu. She blamed him for putting her through significant distress, making accusations of infidelity, as well as physical and mental abuse.
