After her divorce with her husband and leaving Save China's Tigers, she started a new tiger conservation charity, named China Tiger Revival, based in London.[10][15] David Tang, a Hong Kong businessman, had held an event at the China Tang restaurant in the Dorchester Hotel in London on 3 October 2013 to assist raising funds for the charity.[7]

She had accused her former husband, Stuart Bray, of misappropriation of charitable funds for personal expenses.[16] In October 2014, a judge ruled in her ex-husband's favour in-regards to the allegations.[10] She personally denied misusing any charitable funds herself.[8]
