Nathan Lee causes controversy
Nathan Lee used to be a name known to many audiences when working in the fashion and singing fields.
However, in recent years, Nathan Lee has surprised audiences with his change in personality. Previously, he was known as an intelligent and articulate artist, but now the name Nathan Lee is associated with many rumors.
In recent days, Nathan Lee has been a controversial name in showbiz because of his controversial statements.
On his personal page, he did not hesitate to make somewhat offensive statements. Some posts even targeted singer Kasim Hoang Vu - who is hospitalized due to a serious illness.
In some of his posts, he even did not hesitate to call out the names of people he did not like on livestream to say harsh words and threaten to sue.
Previously, Nathan Lee was also the name that dominated social media with his war of words with Ngoc Trinh.
Nathan Lee's scandal has seriously affected his reputation. From a male singer with the ability to sing French music well, he has become a name associated with scandals, not afraid to fight with colleagues - people he is not satisfied with in the showbiz world.
Many viewers commented, is Nathan Lee going beyond the limit of his speech?
Where are the limits of artist statements?
Before Nathan Lee, many artists had to pay the price for making false and offensive statements.
Most recently, the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City fined Miss Phuong Le for altering the lyrics of the National Anthem.
Beauty Queen Nam Em was also fined twice by the Department of Information and Communications of Ho Chi Minh City, respectively 37.5 million VND and 10 million VND, for making controversial statements on social networks.
Due to the noise in artists' statements, the Ministry of Information and Communications previously submitted to the Government a decree to replace Decree 72, which includes regulations on speaking activities in cyberspace.
At that time, the Ministry advised increasing fines, as well as adding additional penalties higher than administrative penalties, for violations in cyberspace.
For artists and celebrities who receive attention and influence from the community, the Ministry of Information and Communications is coordinating with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to issue regulations to coordinate the restriction of broadcasting for artists and celebrities who commit violations.
As for artists, they are people who have influence on the public, and are even considered idols by many audiences, who learn from and imitate their actions.
Therefore, controversial statements of artists invisibly have a significant impact on the public, easily creating trends of cursing each other on social networks.
Sharing with Lao Dong, Dr. Tung Hieu - lecturer at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Ho Chi Minh City - shared: "There have been penalties given to artists who make controversial statements and lose control, but the situation of artists making offensive statements still continues. It is time to have stronger measures, even banning statements on cyberspace so that artists know where the limits of their statements are.
In particular, the public also needs to boycott and eliminate controversial statements by artists, because if artists are not supported by the audience, they will gradually be eliminated.
