Last month Hoang Thuy Linh, famous vietnamese actress was disgraced when her boyfriend's sex tape was leaked on the internet.
Whereas in America such a thing makes one more popular and rich, in Vietnam, it's a career-ender. It's a testament to the fact that the social freedoms that the youth of vietnam are striving toward are not coming quick enough. The traditional social values still rule in Vietnam.
Two weeks ago, Hoang Thuy appeared on vietnamese television to apologize to her family and fans. Her incredibly popular tv show was cancelled. She will never work in Vietnam again. Even the mighty dollar can't help her now.
With the way things are going in Vietnam now though, i think if the same thing happens five years from now, things will be way different.

That is too bad. If she lived here, her stock would be way up this week.
Yeah. In order to save face, her family also forced her to marry the ugly guy.... imagine that, marrying the dude who ruined your career...
