When reporters asked about the information that male singer To Thanh Phuong jumped to his death due to debt and poverty, Ms. Duoc denied this.
She said: "The information that my husband jumped off the building because of debt is false. My husband has been sick for many years and has to take medicine that causes hallucinations. The doctor also concluded this. That's why, when he had hallucinations, he jumped off the building.
Before that, many people rumored that I took his money and went back to my hometown so he thought of doing something stupid, but this information is wrong."
