Thuy Tien case was 'caught': intentionally lying to get 7 billion, netizens lost faith in KOLs?

The news that Thuy Tien was temporarily detained to investigate the act of deceiving customers once again made the online community boil, with the topic of celebrities taking advantage of fans' trust to deceive them and make illegal profits.

"Previously, when the scanda.l of false advertising about the uses and fiber content of Kera vegetable candy broke out, the way Thuy Tien spoke up made people think she was just collaborating to advertise the product, but unexpectedly, it turned out that she was also the 'real owner' who got a huge share of the profits," a netizen wrote.

On the night of May 19, social media was flooded with posts sharing information about Thuy Tien’s arrest. The fact that a beauty queen who once won the highest title at one of the biggest international beauty contests made many people feel sorry that the beauty icon was tainted by greed.

"Mone.y doesn't change people, but it reveals their true nature. It's a pity for a talent to go astray"; "Thuy Tien once implemented a project to build schools for children in remote areas, build playgrounds for sick children..., all of which are admirable actions. However, this young person lost everything because of greed".

"The beauty queen clearly knows that vegetable candy products do not contain fiber, but she still does business regardless. Thuy Tien once participated in an international beauty pageant and won first prize. Her English and speaking skills are also very good. She could have contributed more to the community, but she fell for mone.y"...

Most netizens believe that, as a beauty queen, she took advantage of the public's trust and love to deceive them, and Thuy Tien's arrest is a worthy price she had to pay: "Thuy Tien has many shares, knows that functional foods are not as good as advertised, but still deliberately harms people, so she deserves to be punished"; "Perhaps she never expected that one day she would be arrested and have to go to court; greed blinds people"...

"Mone.y did not make Thuy Tien fall, but only revealed her true nature. A beauty queen, in addition to beauty and intelligence, also needs good character. I hope she knows how to repent and reform"...

In addition to the harsh criticism of Thuy Tien, netizens also expressed their hope that authorities would thoroughly resolve the situation of celebrities advertising falsely and deceiving consumers: "Currently, there are still many channels advertising falsely on social networks. I hope that authorities will soon thoroughly resolve the situation, so that there will no longer be a situation where poor CL products are praised and their uses are falsely stated," commented Hai Dang.

Mr. Tai agrees: "We welcome the authorities to resolutely handle the problem of manufacturing, trading and assisting in the production of counterfeit, fake and toxic goods that are silently poisonin.g consumers. I hope Thuy Tien, Quang Linh Vlogs, and Hang Du Muc receive severe punishments to warn individuals who dare to promote poor quality goods to the community."

Many netizens believe that the arrest of Miss Thuy Tien shows that the days when celebrities could freely deceive without having to take significant responsibility have ended: "Arresting and prosecuting must be strong and tough like that, only KOLs who take advantage of the public's trust to bullshit and make mone.y will be afraid."

"For a long time, many famous people thought they could lie as much as they wanted, and at most they would apologize. Thuy Tien's arrest is a wake-up call for them to know that doing wrong could lead to legal trouble, not just saying I was foolish and I won't do it again to clear their name."

"The time of being an artist is over, TikTokers with millions of views lie to get mone.y, and when they are discovered, they deny it with a few sentences like 'I don't know', 'I was careless and got tricked'. If you speak, you have to take responsibility for what you say; you have to pay the price for it. There is no such thing as taking real mone.y, but when something happens, you deny responsibility and continue to be a public figure"...

Being entangled in serious legal issues puts Thuy Tien at risk of having to pay compensation for signed advertising contracts. Some brands that have previously cooperated with Thuy Tien have removed their images and terminated their contracts to avoid a chain reaction affecting their reputation.
