Mandy Ma, the wife of Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, who was previously married to Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, has urged the public to direct any criticism toward her rather than her husband.

Barbie Hsu’s sister, Dee Hsu, has denied claims that Wang Xiaofei paid for a private jet to transport the late actress's ashes to Taiwan.

"According to reports, Wang Xiaofei chartered a flight to bring Barbie's ashes back to Taiwan. Xiaofei took the initiative to settle the flight arrangements because, given his personality, he definitely would not allow Barbie to be brought back in a luggage," said Xiao Jian.
