The Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City said that after reviewing the content of the petition, checking the facts and working with the relevant individuals, the Department confirmed: On December 3, the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City worked with Ms. Hoang Thi Thuy (model Hoang Thuy).
Ms. Hoang Thi Thuy is the subject of registration to use the Facebook social network account "Hoang Thuy".
Regarding the posts dated July 11, 2024, July 12, 2024, July 14, 2024, and July 16, 2024 by the Facebook account “Hoang Thuy”, Hoang Thi Thuy said that the content of these posts did not mention Ms. Pham Thi Thanh Hang (aka supermodel Thanh Hang).
Sharing on December 13, Thanh Hang said that after receiving the response from the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, she had mixed feelings. She was happy that her request had been taken into account by the authorities, processed, and clarified part of the story. However, on the other hand, Thanh Hang did not feel satisfied.
“I have needed an apology for a long time, but it doesn’t matter anymore. I know that the authorities have done their best to create a clean social media environment. Now I will only focus on my expertise and definitely not pay attention to unworthy things outside,” she said.
Previously, on July 11, Hoang Thuy wrote on Facebook that she was removed from the role of judge of Miss Universe Vietnam 2024 despite being invited by the contest's president, Mr. Valentin Tran. The model said that she was eliminated because a member of the jury opposed her sitting in the "hot seat". She said that this person "used his hidden power to oppress the next generation".
In the following posts, Hoang Thuy used the hashtags “Chi chi em em”, “My nhan ke” - the names of famous films in which Thanh Hang played the main role; and the snake symbol.
On July 16, Hoang Thuy posted a photo of a text message with the content "Thanh Hang doesn't want".
After these articles were posted by Hoang Thuy, many extremists attacked Thanh Hang via social media, even flooding the fanpages of the brands represented by the supermodel to call for boycotts and contract cancellations. This behavior seriously affected Thanh Hang’s work and reputation.
In response to Hoang Thuy's online insinuations, Thanh Hang sent a petition to the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, requesting the department to handle the false information on the Facebook account "Hoang Thuy".
The Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City said that when she came to work, Hoang Thuy explained that the snake symbol or the names of the movies "Chi chi em em" and "My nhan ke" were used to describe the story.
According to Hoang Thuy, in Vietnam there are many people named Thanh Hang, but she did not mention supermodel Thanh Hang.
