According to China Times, before Tran Nghien Hy and Tran Hieu officially announced their divorce in February last year, rumors appeared that Tran Hieu intentionally alienated his wife, even did not attend her father's funeral, causing a part of netizens to criticize him for being "heartless".
Recently, Tran Hieu's team has taken action to clarify rumors such as "cold violence in marriage", "absence at the funeral of ex-father"... and denied all suspicions.
The root cause of the incident began when Tran Nghien Hy could not stand the prolonged fabricated rumors, so she sued a netizen in court.
As a result, the court requested this person to compensate 40,000 CNY and publicly apologize. However, this person has not yet fulfilled his obligation, so Tran Nghien Hy filed a request for enforcement in April this year.
What is surprising is that the identity of this person has been confirmed as the administrator of a fan group of Tran Hieu, who previously regularly posted negative content, offensive comments and defamed Tran Nghien Hy from 2018 to 2025.
Public opinion asks, does Tran Hieu know or not, did he "ignore" fans attacking his ex-wife?
Faced with the wave of criticism, Tran Hieu - who is famous for being "silent" - has responded. However, he did not choose to make public statements or take interviews, but through the company sent a series of complaints about related articles online.
The actor's side emphasized that these contents are "exaggerating the truth, causing public misunderstanding, infringing on honor", and will protect their rights according to the law.
The first key issue he responded to was the controversy "not attending the funeral of his ex-father". Tran Nghien Hy's father passed away in December 2024. At that time, Tran Nghien Hy posted a memorial message on social networks, but Tran Hieu did not appear and did not make any public statements.
Some netizens captured images of him appearing at Hangzhou airport during the funeral, the destination was the film crew in Chengdu. At the same time, paparazzi also recorded him gathering to eat late at night with friends, drinking to the point of needing someone to help.
Regarding this controversy, Tran Hieu's side explained in the complaint that: "Tran Nghien Hy's father did not hold a public funeral, so there is no such thing as Tran Hieu not attending the funeral".
Regarding the rumor of "cold violence against his wife and children", Tran Hieu's side also denied it, and affirmed that there was no such thing as "abandoning his wife and children", "not needing children", or "not seeing children for a year". Tran Hieu emphasized that the two divorced peacefully and raised children together.
At the time of announcing the divorce, both actors wrote the same content on social networks: "Thank you for meeting, later each person will be safe, the future will still be my parents, accompanying each other in my growing up process".
