Thuy Tien is facing controversy over her vegetable candy advertisement. Before that, she was a beauty queen with a large fan base.
Thuy Tien is facing the most serious crisis since entering the profession. The incident has significantly affected the image and reputation of the beauty queen after a long time of being loved. Thuy Tien once actively promoted a type of vegetable candy. In a post in December 2024, Thuy Tien said that this gummy candy brand was launched by the Chi Em Rot team (CER Group) and her. In the post, the beauty queen said that the gummy candy is made from 10 types of vegetables, which can supplement fiber for people aged 3 and up.
However, Thuy Tien and the Chi Em Rot team were suspected of exaggerating the function of the candy after someone brought this candy to be tested at QUATEST 2 (Center for Technical Standards - Measurement - Quality under the General Department of Standards, Measurement and Quality - Ministry of Science and Technology). According to the results shared by this person, the fiber content in a whole jar of this vegetable candy is 0.51 g, only 1/6 of a banana, which is not enough to supplement fiber for users as the Chi Em Rot team advertised.
The incident caused a stir in public opinion. They attacked Thuy Tien's social media accounts and asked her to speak up. After about a day of silence, even deleting posts advertising vegetable candy on her personal page, on the night of March 6, Thuy Tien officially spoke up. The beauty queen said she advertised vegetable candy because she herself cannot eat vegetables and has been using this candy for several months. All the information the beauty queen shared was based on the factory's supply, she said. "I apologize if I caused any mistakes or misunderstandings in the process of promoting the product," the beauty queen expressed.
“Like you, I really hope that everything will be clarified as quickly and transparently as possible. If there are any issues that are not consistent with what I have been provided, I promise to work with the manufacturer to take the strongest measures. I apologize once again for the anxiety that everyone has experienced,” the beauty queen announced.
Previously, Thuy Tien was known as the first Vietnamese beauty to win Miss Grand International. She quickly became famous. Over the years, she has remained one of the beauty queens with the largest fan base. The beauty has a busy schedule with many different activities. She participated in a series of programs such as Sao Nhap Ngu, Phac Thay San Thuong... The series Du Dem produced by herself, with the participation of many artists, was also well received, reaching a large number of views, even reaching millions of views.
Thanks to her interaction with Quang Linh Vlog, the beauty queen is even more loved by fans. They have a large fan base after Thuy Tien's charity trip to Angola in July 2022. After that, the two maintained a close relationship, participating in many joint activities. However, with the current noisy advertising of vegetable candy, they are losing trust in the eyes of the public.
