Hồ Ngọc Hà responds to photo controversy with Lưu Diệc Phi
Vietnamese singer Hồ Ngọc Hà and Chinese actress Lưu Diệc Phi have become the center of a social media debate following a Bvlgari event in Shanghai. The controversy began when Hồ Ngọc Hà posted a photo on her personal social media featuring herself, Lưu Diệc Phi, and the brand's high jewelry creative director.
However, on Lưu Diệc Phi's Instagram account, the image was cropped to exclude Hồ Ngọc Hà, showing only the actress and the brand's CEO. This prompted significant backlash from Vietnamese netizens, with some accusing the Chinese star of being impolite and others defending her right to choose her own photos.
Responding to suggestions to delete her post, Hồ Ngọc Hà stated she was not bothered by the incident. She noted that the two had only met a few times and were not close friends, saying, “I care about important things, and this is sometimes just normal... if I like it, I will post it, it's no problem. Let's be happy.” Following the online debate, Lưu Diệc Phi reportedly removed the photo from her account.
