On 18 October 2006, Chi attempted suicide using medication at her home in Kowloon City. The given reason for this was grief from the loss of her mother, who had died of cancer. Her boyfriend discovered her and contacted the police. After being certified as being out of danger of any life-threatening complications, Chi stayed in the intensive care unit. The police subsequently found two suicide notes, which revealed her unhappiness.

Two weeks later, Chi returned to work and continued to host her radio programmes, and also became again involved in film production work.

On 27 February 2012, Chi uploaded a photo to her personal weibo, that showed her wearing a real fox fur,.^[13] This caused an angry response from internet users who denounced her through Facebook, Weibo and Discuss forums. Internet users at Weibo asked: "How can one talk about animal rights, if one can wear a corpse because of vanity?"; they did not accept Chi's apologies because of her frivolous attitude.

On 1 March 2012, Chi issued a video response to the incident on YouTube. She referred to the fur in the photo as one no longer wanted by a friend, and that since it was a real fur and she did not want to waste it, she accepted it for reuse. She emphasised her respect for animal rights, and apologised for any distress caused by the incident. However, some internet users were of the view that her statement of respect for animal rights was at odds with her wearing fur; and that because she did not apologise for the acts of cruelty to animals (needed to harvest fur), and because she did not openly urge the public to refuse fur, that they could not accept her explanation or apologies.^[14]

On 4 March 2012, internet users discovered that Chi, had for undeclared reasons, removed comments on the issue at Facebook, including comments both in support of and against her wearing fur. The internet users called this into question as, since she had set her Facebook as open to the public and to allow public comments, she should not delete comments indiscriminately.
