Gerard doubled the compensation, made a statement that made Mr. Dam "turn purple"?

New developments related to the lawsuit between Dam Vinh Hung and billionaire Gerard Williams continue to be the focus of public attention. In a recent move, singer Bich Tuyen's husband has changed the amount of compensation he is demanding.

According to the counterclaim from Mr. Richard Williams, singer Dam Vinh Hung climbed onto the fountain platform during his performance to create a highlight for the performance. However, because the fountain platform could not bear the weight, it collapsed, causing serious damage and leading to the singer's accident. "The consequence of these actions was that Dam Vinh Hung damaged the fountain and injured himself," Mr. Williams stated in the petition.

Williams said he spent tens of thousands of dollars repairing the fountain after the incident. He also paid the singer’s entire hospital bill in two installments, including $27,600 (about VND700 million) and $1,980 (about VND50.6 million).

Mr. Williams stated that he would not negotiate with singer Dam Vinh Hung or his lawyer. Instead, he asked the court to issue a judgment requiring the singer to pay a symbolic sum of $1 for all damages, plus $1 for legal costs including attorney fees. The total compensation is $2. In addition, he requested that Dam Vinh Hung issue a public apology through the court, to remedy the damage to his reputation and that of his family.

Previously, on February 22, after returning to Vietnam, singer Dam Vinh Hung posted an article on his personal page, expressing his gratitude to Mr. Williams and his wife and friends who took care of him during his treatment in the US. The singer also posted a video stating that his health had stabilized. When recalling the accident, he admitted that he had accepted the risk so that the performance would have a "spectacular" ending.

However, at the end of October, singer Dam Vinh Hung suddenly made a very infamous "turnaround" when, through the Wilshire Law Firm, he filed a lawsuit against Mr. Richard Williams - singer Bich Tuyen's husband - in the California Superior Court, Orange County. In the lawsuit, he accused the homeowner of being negligent in organizing a party at his private home without ensuring the safety of guests, leading to an accident that seriously injured him. This accident caused him to permanently amputate some of his toes. Dam Vinh Hung requested compensation for medical expenses, financial losses from canceled shows and mental trauma. The Orange County Court announced that it would accept the lawsuit on November 4.

However, on December 4, Dam Vinh Hung suddenly announced on his personal page that he had a dialogue with Mr. Williams and decided to withdraw the lawsuit. In the post, he wrote: "Right now, we really need an apology to each other, for both me and Mr. Gerard Williams, as well as the audience and my family. Everything has been resolved by the people involved, I hope everyone can return to their normal lives."

The situation became more complicated when Mr. Richard Williams, at the same time, filed a counter-suit against Dam Vinh Hung in the California Supreme Court, Orange County. The original lawsuit was 34 pages long, and by December 9, it had been extended to 304 pages. Mr. Williams presented a series of evidence, including photos and detailed information, accusing the singer of being careless, causing serious damage to the property in his house.

Mr. Richard Williams said that singer Dam Vinh Hung sent many messages asking for compensation after the accident, with the initial amount being 15 million USD in April, then reduced to 5 million USD. However, in the last suggestive message in October, the singer suggested 20 million USD and warned that "it could increase to 50 million USD", citing the pain and permanent disability suffered.

Dam Vinh Hung gave this figure with the hope that this is the amount of money he can take care of his son and himself when he is old. The male singer wants to "retire early" (ie retire) so he needs a large sum of money to protect himself. Another reason given by Dam Vinh Hung is that he was banned from singing in Vietnam for 9 months, leading to financial difficulties.

When he received no response from the other party, Dam Vinh Hung filed a lawsuit on October 31, citing damage to his health, mental health, and loss of income.

Mr. Williams denied these allegations and said that in reality, after the accident, Dam Vinh Hung did not have any difficulty in living or become disabled as stated in the lawsuit. He presented evidence showing that the singer continued to perform about 27 shows after the accident, earning a considerable amount of money.

Currently, Dam Vinh Hung is still in the US and has not made any official statement regarding the counter-lawsuit from Mr. Richard Williams. His silence has increased public attention to the case, which is having tense and complicated developments.
