Miss Dang Thu Thao is upset because her mother and daughter's photo was used in advertising.
Miss Vietnam 2012 confirmed that she did not give interviews and had never used this cereal product.
On her personal page, Dang Thu Thao recently posted a status expressing her anger when a cereal company used her and her child's image to advertise publicly. They posted an interview and then called on mothers to use the product to produce more milk for their children while Thu Thao affirmed that she did not give interviews and had never used this product.
"Oh, Thao didn't answer that interview, moms. And drinking this cereal doesn't help increase milk production. Why do you arbitrarily take other people's photos and then falsely and fraudulently advertise like this, what kind of shop?", Miss Thu Thao wrote.

Thu Thao's post received a lot of attention from the community. Many people advised her to sue this brand. FacebookerTrinhTu Hienwrote: "Sue her, that is taking advantage of other people's images without permission. Many mothers will suffer without knowing and will believe it and say this and that about the beauty queen." "Thao should sue, if it happens this time, there will be a next time. You can't stay silent, Thao must make it big to deter others. Otherwise, if more and more people are deceived, it will affect her image," FacebookerTrang Leopinion.
Same opinion, FacebookerTam Doindignant: "Too blatant. Doing business in such a dishonest way can never be sustainable and survive. Ms. Thao should sue."
Previously, singer Thu Minh was also accused of illegally using her image for advertising by a milk-boosting tea company. The incident forced the singer to speak up to confirm that the brand was deceiving customers and she sought legal help to handle the case. "I - Vu Thu Minh confirm that the information given in the photos below is incorrect, and I have never known about this product, let alone accepted to promote the brand. Our lawyers will work with the relevant parties to clarify the matter," Thu Minh said.
