It has been six months since Barbie Hsu (徐熙媛) and her then-husband Wang Xiaofei (汪小菲) confirmed their divorce. Barbie has since moved on and remarried Korean Rapper DJ Koo. However, Xiaofei seems to be floundering in life instead.
Recently, paparazzi accused Xiaofei of having multiple affairs while he had been married to Barbie. The entrepreneur was quick to deny the allegation and explain his situation. Additionally, he also made allegations of his own against Barbie!
The issue first popped up after a reporter uploaded a photo of Xiaofei hugging another woman. The reporter claimed that the photo had been taken before the divorce. It soon incited a response from Xiaofei who did so via Weibo. He explained the photos had been taken while they were sorting out the divorce.
According to Xiaofei, discussions regarding their separation had begun in February last year. It had been a taxing time for Xiaofei as he had to travel between his work and Taiwan to balance both sides of his life. He had even undergone quarantine five times. “During (this) period, I did experience a drunken gaffe due to emotional problems,” he admitted. “The photos were taken by friends.” Xiaofei then offered an apology and claimed he would be filing a lawsuit against the allegations.
However, Xiaofei later added another post, this time defending his actions from Barbie. “I, Wang Xiaofei do not want anyone to extort (me) anymore,” he declared. “I will take legal measures on both sides to maintain (my) legal rights.” According to Xiaofei, everything started in July 2020, mid-pandemic. The entrepreneur had apparently gone to China then and underwent quarantine. He was quarantined again when he returned to Taiwan in February 2021. It was then that Barbie had first brought up the idea of divorce. “I tried my best to salvage (our marriage), and thought it had been negotiated, so I returned to Beijing,” he stated.
Xiaofei had plans to bring his children to Beijing in May and June. However, due to the complications of vaccines and child safety, it didn’t pan out. This frustrated Xiaofei and he made the infamous post criticising Taiwan’s epidemic procedures. This apparently cemented Barbie’s desire to divorce Xiaofei. “During this time, I had been notified to return to (discuss) the divorce, and I (convinced Barbie otherwise) many times,” Xiaofei stated. “During this time, I tried my best to make arrangements to bring them to the mainland to live a good life and accompany me to start a business, but they were all rejected!”
Additionally, Xiaofei alleged that Barbie had been illegally taking drugs during their marriage. He claimed she obtained them through other’s prescriptions and that he had to pay 1 million yuan (~RM655,000) per month for said prescriptions. Xiaofei also claimed that Barbie had been mentally ill. However, the post was deleted soon after.
The media then contacted Barbie’s agent and mother to ask about the situation. According to Barbie’s mom, Barbie has been taking medicine for her epilepsy and stress. She made it clear that the drugs had been prescribed to Barbie by doctors. Barbie’s agent added the money paid by Xiaofei is supposedly for their household expenses. They claimed that it was done voluntarily and has not changed, even after the divorce.
Barbie has not made any statements regarding Xiaofei’s allegations. However, Barbie’s mom has supposedly requested of Xiaofei to not hurt Barbie again. Well, clearly the divorce hasn’t done much for their relationship!
