Faced with this information, MC Tran Thanh had strong reactions on his personal page. He affirmed that the above messages were fabricated and untrue, aiming to defame his honor.

"I was really angry when I read the messages of someone who was posting fake messages to defame my honor. I live my life based on my conscience. And I believe my audience also understands what kind of person Tran Thanh is," Tran Thanh was upset.

Tran Thanh continues to express his attitude when being slandered. He affirmed that he will find the identity of the person who sent the above images and messages.

Tran Thanh wrote: "This society still has laws. At all costs, I will report to the police and ask my lawyer to come to your house to meet you. And I guarantee. You will pay a very high price.
