In July 2026, former Vietnamese rhythmic gymnast and Youth Olympic gold‑medalist Pham Nhu Phuong withdrew from the reality‑show competition The Face Vietnam after a private video with her boyfriend was leaked online, prompting intense social‑media scrutiny. She cited the need for a personal break, announced plans to travel to the United States in August, and emphasized that the footage was years old and accessed without permission. The program removed her name from its list of potential contestants. Two weeks later, the contestant—now known as TikTok influencer Louis ~~Phạm—made~~ Pham—made her first public appearance at a TikTok‑hosted event, wearing a black evening dress. She again confirmed her exit from The Face Vietnam, reiterating the decision to focus on personal matters and to travel to the United States with her boyfriend. The appearance generated mixed reactions, highlighting both her sizable online following and ongoing public interest in the controversy. By mid-August, Louis Pham had reunited with her partner, Phong Le, in the United States. Following a period of reconciliation after a previous breakup caused by distance, the couple has been spending time together. Pham, who has shared updates regarding Le’s lifestyle and their shared interests on social media, noted that the move follows her decision to prioritize her mental well-being and personal life.
