Chinese businessman Wang Xiaofei, the ex-husband of Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu, is struggling with severe mental distress following her death at age 49, according to a friend.

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.

In a statement via her manager, Dee says all funeral arrangements were handled by the Hsu family and her businessman husband Mike.
