  • Rumors circulated that Taiwanese celebrity Barbie Hsu's husband, Koo Jun-yup, was in dispute with Hsu's mother over inheritance.
  • Hsu's mother vehemently denied these claims, calling the reports "delusional."
  • Friends of Hsu stated that Koo and her mother are close and support each other, with Hsu's mother referring to Koo as her "son."

Recent rumors suggesting a dispute between Koo Jun-yup, husband of the late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu (Hsu Hsi-yuan), and Hsu's mother over inheritance have been strongly refuted. Reports claimed Koo had moved out of the couple's former Taipei residence and was in conflict with his mother-in-law regarding Hsu's assets.

However, Hsu's mother, Huang Chun-mei, has publicly dismissed these allegations, expressing frustration with the baseless speculation. "I suspect the person spreading the news has a fantasy," she stated, adding, "Don't make me unhappy anymore." She directly denied any disagreements over inheritance, emphasizing her own lack of complaints and expressing disbelief at the fabricated details.

Close friends of Barbie Hsu have stepped forward to clarify the relationship between Koo and Hsu's mother. They assert that far from any conflict, the two have grown closer since Hsu's passing, offering each other support and care. These friends revealed that Hsu's mother affectionately refers to Koo as her "son," highlighting their strong bond.

I suspect the person spreading the news has a fantasy. Don't make me unhappy anymore.

"Koo Jun-yup and S-mother's relationship has always been very good, even better than S-mother's relationship with Wang Xiaofei (Hsu's ex-husband)," a friend commented, underscoring the depth of their connection. The friends also pointed out that under current Taiwanese law, Hsu's mother is not a legal heir to her daughter's estate, further undermining the basis of the inheritance dispute rumors.

Since Barbie Hsu's death, there has been considerable public interest in Koo Jun-yup's activities, the interactions within the Hsu family, and the handling of her estate. The direct refutation from Hsu's mother and the clarification from her close friends aim to quell the persistent rumors and allow the family space to grieve in peace.
