Top 10 Miss Universe beauty reveals about 'sexual harassment' in modeling career

Coming out of the Miss Universe Vietnam pageant with a Top 10 position and winning the Miss Congeniality award, Ngoc Anh has become increasingly in demand on the catwalks. After the Miss Universe pageant, unlike other beauties who chose to move to the South, Ngoc Anh decided to return to the capital Hanoi to build her name.

Sharing about this, she said: “Almost all of my major work projects are in Hanoi and I also have a fairly stable clientele. Although I really like the development of art in Saigon, as a child of the capital, I always want to contribute a small part of my efforts so that the Hanoi art market can be as bustling and bustling as Saigon's."

Ngoc Anh also shared that after the Miss Universe contest, her salary increased 2-3 times compared to before. The intensity of work and the remuneration in each program she participated in were no longer as low as before.

She also does not hesitate to talk about the naked truth about the modeling profession: "Although there are many photo shoots at home and abroad, if I depended entirely on modeling, I would probably still "starve". To maintain my passion for art, I have to do many other jobs, from teaching catwalk to being a judge, participating in events or occasionally managing models for shows in the capital."

She also affirmed: "Modeling for me is a labor job. It is completely like any other job. Modeling requires seriousness, diligence and constant creativity. I myself have been in the profession for 5 years and wanted to give up because it was too hard, crowded and full of temptations. But the aura from the catwalk has pulled me back."

Recently, many artists have revealed that they have been sexually harassed or even abused, and Ngoc Anh is no exception. “Sexual harassment and flirting from rich men have become more and more frequent for me, not just since I first started my career. They tried to connect with me on social networking sites and made generous suggestions. But I am a man and prefer an independent life. Every time, I did not respond and tried to “cut the line”. – Ngoc Anh confided.

Even the once famous supermodel Ha Vy once revealed that just by sitting down to eat with a rich man, she could earn 300-500 USD. When asked what percentage of models would not give in to those temptations, Ngoc Anh also commented: "I think only about 30% of models can overcome those temptations, the rest will be swayed. Because I have witnessed many models who like to enjoy themselves. They often use their work as a cover to make money quickly without spending much effort."

Commenting on these models, Ngoc Anh frankly said: “I see many beautiful women looking for rich men to make their lives less difficult. However, without talent and seriousness towards the profession, sooner or later, you will be eliminated.”

Sharing about her upcoming plans, Ngoc Anh said she decided to try her hand at The Face 2018 contest.
