In recent days, social networks have spread many articles claiming that artist Kim Tu Long refused to go to the relatives' house of the late NSƯT Vu Linh to attend the death anniversary ceremony, along with speculations about personal conflicts between him and Hong Phuong - the late artist's niece.
This information quickly attracted attention and caused controversy in the Cai Luong fan community.
Before the wave of rumors, singer Hong Phuong - a relative in the family of the late artist Vu Linh expressed her frustration. She said that the spreading content was "truth, view-baiting", and affirmed that much information was fabricated, untrue, slanderous and harmed the honor of the family.
According to Hong Phuong, this is not the first time similar rumors have appeared. She emphasized that the continuous spread of false information not only affects the image of related artists but also causes mental harm to those involved. The female singer believes that "inventing a story" to attract attention is a condemnable act.
In addition, Hong Phuong also expressed her views on the fact that some individuals take advantage of private stories, especially related to the deceased, to create content that attracts attention on social networks. According to her, this is disrespectful and goes against basic moral values.
Before the reaction from Hong Phuong's family, many viewers expressed their desire for the online community to be alert to unverified information and avoid spreading false content.
The incident once again shows the downside of social networks when rumors can spread quickly and cause great impact on individuals and families of artists. Verifying information and responsible sharing is considered necessary to limit unnecessary consequences.
