"When I was in first grade, I often met an older man at my teacher's extra class. I don't remember if this person was my teacher's husband or brother, but every time he saw me, he would kiss me, kiss my hand, and compliment me on how beautiful I was," Thuy Tien shared.
"At that time, I had no concept of sexual harassment, nor had I been taught much about keeping my distance from strangers. I thought that person's actions were normal. Until one day, I finished my homework early, and as I was walking down the stairs, he grabbed my hand and led me into a dark room. He did things like holding my arms and legs, and kissing me on the mouth," the beauty recounted.
Thuy Tien said that when the incident happened, she was scared and realized that this was not normal. "I was scared, struggled, and escaped just in time for my family to pick me up. Actually, at that time, I did not know that it was sexual harassment. I only knew that I was forced to do something I did not like. Luckily, when I told my family, everyone believed me and I did not study in that class anymore. That situation did not go far enough to make me regret and be more haunted, but it is still not a beautiful memory," she said.

When telling the story that she experienced, Thuy Tien said she wanted to send the message "you are not alone" to fans who have been in a similar situation.
"This is the first time I've told this story to the media and the audience. I've never talked about it before because I didn't want to be called a victim of anything. But when I received many letters of confession, I wanted to speak up and share. I want to convey the message "you are not alone". Sexual abuse and harassment happen partly because of family indifference, because sex education and educating children on how to behave with strangers have not been focused on," Thuy Tien frankly expressed her opinion.
Thuy Tien's sharing received sympathy from many fans. Netizens agreed with the beauty queen, saying that the issue of educating children to prevent sexual abuse and harassment needs more attention.
