Accordingly, a fan left a message: "Sister, can you wish me a word because I have to work overtime tomorrow?", and the actress replied: "Wishing you to work overtime every day".
This seemingly humorous answer quickly caused controversy. Many netizens believe that Banh Tieu Nhiem's response was subtle, being assessed as "low EQ" (EQ is the ability to understand, control one's emotions and behave well with other people's emotions) is not suitable for the image of an artist in public. Many strong opinions suggest that artists should be more cautious in their statements, especially with fans - who always have long-term affection and support. Some comments also suggest that if artists are not good at communicating, they should limit direct interaction or hand over accounts to management teams.
Before the wave of criticism, Bang Tieu Nhiem officially spoke up to apologize. In her sharing, the actress expressed her gratitude to fans, and admitted that she needs to be more aware of the spread of words. She said that in seemingly gentle interactions, she unintentionally underestimated the boundaries and responsibilities of a public figure.
In the future, I will be more cautious in each public interaction, speak carefully, grasp the limit, not let good intentions be misunderstood, and not let anyone be hurt because of me," Banh Tieu Nhiem wrote.
Notably, the fan - the person who directly received the controversial answer - also spoke up to clarify the matter. According to this person's sharing, this is only a familiar way of teasing between the two sides, because before that they often interacted in a humorous way. Fans affirmed that Bang Tieu Nhiem always cared and protected her, even stood up to defend when this person was attacked online.
However, in the context of the widespread spread of the statement, fans also apologized for the private interaction that unintentionally caused misunderstandings and trouble for the actress. Both sides want to close the story, considering this a lesson on how to communicate in the social media environment, where all statements can be viewed from many different angles.
