According to Taiwanese outlet ETtoday on July 17, posts circulating on Chinese social media recently claimed that Dee Hsu had refused to serve as the co-guardian of Barbie Hsu’s two children.
Some of the posts also alleged that the Hsu family failed to properly care for the children following Barbie Hsu’s passing and even claimed that they were not invited to the unveiling ceremony of a memorial statue dedicated to the late actress.
The children are currently believed to be living with their father, Wang Xiaofei. As the rumors gained traction, Dee Hsu decided to personally respond to the allegations.
She stated, “No one has ever spoken to me about becoming a co-guardian from the very beginning. Legally, it is impossible for me to serve as a co-guardian.”
Dee Hsu further explained that as long as the children’s biological father retains his parental rights, she, as their aunt, cannot legally become their guardian, dismissing the claims as false.
She also rejected reports that the family had intentionally excluded the children from the memorial statue unveiling. According to Dee Hsu, the children were asked in advance whether they wanted to attend and were invited to the event. “We respected the children’s wishes and the circumstances surrounding them when making the final decision about their attendance,” she said.
Addressing accusations that the family had neglected Barbie Hsu’s children, Dee Hsu emphasized that everyone in the family deeply cares for them. “Our entire family loves the two children very much,” she said. “We chose not to respond to every baseless rumor because we didn’t want our family’s pain to continue being consumed as gossip.”
She added, “Our family is still grieving, and it has been incredibly painful to see false reports spreading alongside our loss. Remaining silent does not mean we acknowledge these rumors as true. I felt it was necessary to explain the facts before misinformation became accepted as reality.”
Dee Hsu also dismissed speculation about an inheritance dispute involving her late sister. “The inheritance will be handled according to the law. It is not something people should be fighting over,” she stressed.
Barbie Hsu passed away unexpectedly in 2025. Since then, persistent speculation has surrounded her family, particularly regarding her husband DJ Koo, her former husband Wang Xiaofei, the custody of her children, and the distribution of her estate.
