Miss Thuy Tien filed a complaint about the illegal use of her image.
Talking to us, Miss Thuy Tien said that she and her company decided to file a complaint to handle the case of some units violating the use of her image.
At the same time, Nguyen Thuc Thuy Tien posted a correction on her personal page. She affirmed that she did not have any commercial or advertising contracts for beauty salons or spas. Therefore, Miss Grand International 2021 believes that all pages posting promotional information are fake, violating the use of images.
“I hope everyone will be vigilant so as not to be fooled by establishments that have fraudulent activities and behaviors, deceiving customers. The company and I are collecting evidence and making records to handle the above behaviors,” Thuy Tien shared, at the same time she also called on everyone to report these fake pages.
Sen Vang - the management company of Miss Thuy Tien said that it has received complaints about Miss Grand International 2021 being the image representative for a number of low-quality, unreliable cosmetic units. The company affirmed that at the present time, the beauty has not signed a cooperation agreement with any cosmetic unit or spa.
“All pages that are posting images and running advertisements for cosmetic services with Miss Thuy Tien’s image at the present time are fake, deceiving customers. With the above violations, we are trying our best to have the units using the images illegally handled appropriately. We would like to inform everyone, so that fans and audiences who trust and love the brands cooperating with Miss Thuy Tien will not be deceived,” this unit responded.
Before Thuy Tien, many Vietnamese stars also encountered cases of impersonation and image theft to scam on social networks such as People's Artist Tu Long, Chi Pu, Truong The Vinh... Lawyer Vu Quang Duc (Ho Chi Minh City Bar Association) said that if a brand arbitrarily uses a personal image for commercial purposes, it violates Clause 1, Article 32 of the 2015 Civil Code. "That means the use of an individual's image must have that person's consent. As for the use of a personal image for commercial purposes, the person whose image is used must be compensated," said lawyer Duc.
At the same time, the German lawyer added that Article 11 of the 2015 Civil Code also stipulates methods of protecting civil rights. Accordingly, individuals have the right to force the termination of the infringing act, force a public apology, correction and compensation for damages if proven.
