Dam Vinh Hung has filed a lawsuit in the California Superior Court, USA, in Orange County, against Mr. Gerard Richard Williams III, singer Bich Tuyen's husband. In the lawsuit, the male singer claims that Mr. Gerard Richard Williams III was irresponsible, leading to his serious injury and the need to remove his toe.
