Dam Vinh Hung filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of California, USA, in Orange County, against Mr. Gerard Richard Williams III, husband of singer Bich Tuyen.
Speaking to Lao Dong reporter, singer Bich Tuyen affirmed: "Regarding Dam Vinh Hung's $15 million lawsuit, my husband has done nothing wrong to demand such a large amount of compensation. We will go to court, not negotiate or compromise with Dam Vinh Hung."
Please do not discuss the close friendship between Dam Vinh Hung and singer Bich Tuyen's couple that was "broken" and made waves on the internet, but rather talk about the legal details related to the lawsuit.
Firstly, if singer Bich Tuyen and her husband organize a music show, have a contract, have a "salary"; Dam Vinh Hung performs on the stage of the music show, the stage collapses, he is injured. In this case, the show organizer must take responsibility. The level of responsibility must be based on many other factors.
But according to information from both sides, Dam Vinh Hung attended the party at the private home of singer Bich Tuyen and her husband, and the male singer's singing was to contribute to the fun of the party. There was no music stage, everyone danced and had fun, each person doing their own thing.
Furthermore, a clip of Dam Vinh Hung's "accident" appeared on media channels, and this could be one of the pieces of evidence for the court to consider in relation to the lawsuit.
The clip shows Dam Vinh Hung singing and dancing around the lake. At the climax, the male singer jumped onto the tray of the fountain to perform. The tray collapsed, the male singer had an accident that he said required the amputation of some of his toes.
With this detail, even though singer Bich Tuyen and her husband contracted to invite Dam Vinh Hung to do the show, the platform around the lake was used as a music stage, but the water fountain in the middle of the lake was not the place for the singer to perform. The act of going up to the water fountain platform was Dam Vinh Hung's "inspiration" and had nothing to do with the program's organizers.
Not to mention, the failed "jump" damaged the homeowner's pond. And, watch out, Dam Vinh Hung might be sued.
When there is no more affection, one side has "broken all ties" and the other side also "cuts all ties".
Singer Bich Tuyen said: "I have had my lawyer prepare all the necessary legal documents. Currently, my husband and I are ready for the lawsuit."
Let's wait and see how singer Bich Tuyen and her husband respond. As for the evidence that has been made public on the media, if Dam Vinh Hung does not have his own evidence to use in court, it will be very difficult to pocket 15 million USD.
