An Tay reveals shocking new condition after more than a year since her arrest, preparing for a comeback to showbiz.

More than a year after the shocking incident involving banned substances, the latest information on model Andrea Aybar's current situation has been shared by her younger brother, attracting significant public attention.

An emotional reunion on March 8th.

Recently, on his personal page, Rufino Aybar – the younger brother of model Andrea Aybar – posted an update about his sister's situation. According to the post, on the occasion of International Women's Day on March 8th, he and his father took a trip to Cu Chi to visit Andrea after a long period of separation.

This is a rare occasion where relatives of the Spanish-born model have publicly shared updates on her condition since the case began. Rufino stated that, despite being in custody, Andrea's spirits and health remain stable.

"My dad and I have met her. Thankfully, she's beautiful, healthy, and positive, looking towards the future with many plans and projects. Thank you so much for all your kind wishes," Rufino wrote.

In addition, he revealed that his youngest brother always talks about Andrea with deep longing and hopes for the day his sister can return and reunite with the family.

Looking back at the case that caused a public uproar.

The incident began in November 2024, when authorities in Ho Chi Minh City inspected an apartment in Thu Duc City. There, police discovered Andrea Aybar and several other individuals showing signs of involvement in the use of illegal substances.

Following a preliminary investigation, the Ho Chi Minh City Police have officially initiated legal proceedings and temporarily detained the female model to clarify two charges: "Organizing the illegal use of narcotics" and "Illegally possessing narcotics".

When confronted by authorities, Andrea couldn't hide her belated remorse. She tearfully admitted her mistake and offered a warning to the online community: "I know I made a mistake. I have a piece of advice for young people: don't try or get involved with illegal substances, even once."

The downfall of a famous "TikTok hot girl"

Before her legal troubles, Andrea Aybar (born in 1995) was a familiar and influential figure in Vietnamese showbiz. Having moved to Vietnam at a young age, she quickly rose to fame thanks to her striking mixed-race beauty and her fluent Vietnamese.

Andrea was once a promising model who ventured into acting and achieved particular success as a social media content creator. Her videos on TikTok consistently garnered millions of views thanks to their humor and relatable style. However, a drug scandal nearly ended her flourishing career, leaving a great deal of disappointment among her fans.

The family overcame public pressure.

Andrea's ordeal not only affected her personally but also thrust the Aybar family into the center of public criticism and pressure. Rufino Aybar – who was previously well-liked for his positive image – had to apologize to the public on behalf of his family. He admitted that his family went through an extremely difficult and painful time when the incident occurred.

Currently, Rufino's comments about Andrea living "positively and having plans for the future" suggest that the model is striving for self-improvement and hoping to rebuild her life after her setback. However, her journey back will undoubtedly face many challenges ahead.
