Thuy Tien denies asking Ms. Phuong Hang to pay 14 billion VND in mental compensation

On the evening of April 7, on her fanpage with more than 10 million followers, Thuy Tien suddenly posted that the information about her and her husband asking Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang to pay 44 billion VND in compensation was "inaccurate information". At the same time, the female singer emphasized that she did not ask for 14 billion VND in compensation for mental damage as the information being spread.

Thuy Tien said she only asked for compensation for material and economic damages that Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang had caused to the management company. All evidence of the amount of damages was sent to the investigation agency by the singer's lawyer.

"This is the amount of money that the management company had to pay to have all of its brand partners cancel all of their signed contracts. Some partners even sued our company and asked for compensation for damages, even though in this incident I did nothing wrong or violated any legal ethics," Cong Vinh's wife wrote.

Thuy Tien further clarified that she did not request an apology from Ms. Nguyen Phuong Hang as some information spread because: "Even an apology cannot make up for the huge psychological damage that my family and I are suffering."

"Material damage can be compensated, but mental damage is the damage caused and no amount of money or apology can compensate, so I do not request compensation for mental damage," the singer emphasized.
