On the morning of February 3, the news that actress Barbie Hsu had passed away at the age of 49 shocked the Asian public. The star’s family confirmed that she had the flu and complications of pneumonia while traveling in Japan. The sudden passing of the Meteor Garden star left fans heartbroken.

In 2011, Barbie Hsu and businessman Wang Xiaofei got married after less than half a year of knowing each other.

Barbie Hsu and Wang Xiaofei’s divorce was not smooth. They fought on social media and argued over child support.

In 2023, Barbie Hsu sued Wang Xiaofei for not providing her with child support, which caused Wang Xiaofei’s assets to be frozen.

In response, Wang Xiaofei spoke ill of his ex-wife and her family. He also raised suspicions that Barbie Hsu used illegal substances, had affairs, and used his money to support her current husband.

Barbie Hsu also sued her ex-husband for violating privacy laws when he published her bank account, home address, and other financial information. The back and forth disputes between Barbie Hsu and Wang Xiaofei have tarnished their public image.

Talking about her marriage with Wang Xiaofei, the actress said: “I have never done anything wrong to him. But he and his family are different, they have done a lot of wrong to me. Not only did he have an affair, Wang Xiaofei also used a thick book cover to beat me even though I was pregnant.”

The Meteor Garden actress added that she always wanted to end her marriage with Wang Xiaofei peacefully, without causing a public uproar. However, Wang Xiaofei continuously caused trouble, spread false rumors, and made insulting comments about her on social media.

At the time of Barbie Hsu’s death, the lawsuits between her and her ex-husband had not yet ended. At the end of 2024, Wang Xiaofei was said to want to file a lawsuit to regain custody of her child from Barbie Hsu.
