In a LinkedIn post, she did not dispute that she was dismissed but did not disclose the reason for the decision.

Chiang refuted rumors of leaking confidential data, moving to a competitor, as well as allegations of discrimination, bullying, harassment, insider trading, embezzlement, and fraud. According to her, the decision to leave Xbox was not hers.
