Rumors have emerged surrounding American singer Christine Fan, who has been accused of wearing a necklace purportedly containing the ashes of late Taiwanese actress Barbie Hsu. Hsu, who tragically passed away in February 2025 at the age of 48 due to influenza-related pneumonia while vacationing in Japan, was a beloved figure in the Taiwanese entertainment industry.
During a recent performance, Fan sang her song “Can I Not Be Brave,” which some fans interpreted as a tribute to Hsu. At the same event, she wore a heart-shaped necklace that quickly sparked speculation about its contents. Taiwanese media outlets reported that the necklace might contain Hsu’s ashes, leading to widespread discussion on social media and news platforms.
In response to these allegations, the Beijing Zaishi Law Firm, which represents Fan’s agency, issued an official statement categorically denying the rumors. The law firm stated that the reports are “completely false” and emphasized that they have caused “serious damage to Christine’s reputation.” They announced plans to take legal action against those spreading what they termed damaging and false information.
According to the statement, any behavior that seeks attention through misinformation and crosses moral or legal boundaries will be subject to consequences. The firm confirmed that they will actively monitor the situation and take necessary legal measures to protect Fan’s rights.
The allegations have sparked a significant reaction among fans and the broader public, with many expressing their support for Fan. The incident highlights the challenges public figures face regarding privacy and the impact of rumors in the age of social media.
As the situation develops, Fan’s legal team is prepared to respond vigorously to any further claims, underlining the importance of integrity and truth in the public discourse surrounding celebrities.
