Nguyen Hong Nhung: 'Hot photo Scandal 14 years ago as a nightmare'
Female singer had to go to psychological treatment after being boyfriend put nude photos on the Internet when she was 22 years old.
Back to the time of 14 years before the incident was taken naked, how did you face it?
It is not easy to tell or remember the past because it is not glorious. It was like a nightmare for me. It becomes a scar that always becomes painful every time it comes to heaven. I remember I wanted to hide in some corner to calm down. I realized that I put the wrong belief for a man, because they destroyed my future, honor my family, my parents … How could I live if there were articles every day? write about me, are images spread? Neighbors and neighbors all scorn and alienate even if they are victims. The incident also affected heavily psychologically but later I had to go to a therapist for treatment. Doctors analyze that being taken naked to public without acceptance is like being humiliated collectively.
How did you get out of that psychological crisis?
I can not because of a mistake that surrendered everything. I decided to stand up, step out into the light opposite what was happening. There were rumors that I had committed suicide because of humiliation, some people said I had sex videos, but when I had a press conference, things changed in a different direction. There were many people who invited me to sing and in just a few months, my schedule was filled with public curiosity like going to see “monkey circus”!
There are also people who think that I have taken the initiative to create scandals for more expensive shows. But the truth is that after hearing me sing, the audience was surprised and wanted to see me again in the next shows. Life is like that, a 22-year-old girl has to step into life with a stain, no matter how successful it will be after this success.
When you came to the US to settle down, what difficulties did you face to live in your country?
Going to the US is a departure, not a return date. Once again, it brought my life – a 23-year-old girl into a stalemate. At that time, the contestants invited me to perform in Europe and finally America. August 25, 2005 was the last day I could see the scenery of my homeland without knowing when to return. That departure was not foretold.
After performing and being loved by audiences in the United States, an unexpected incident caused me to choose: one if I return, I will be in danger for myself and my loved ones; The second is how to stay in the country where people live. The most painful thing for me is my mother’s plea when she tells me to try to stay in the United States and redo my life. The father and mother giving birth to me have not responded yet, I don’t know how to do it. But it was also my mother’s plea that helped me to have the energy to try to survive every day. I really struggled with a lonely, homeless life, without a car because in the US, I wanted to have a car somewhere. The big language barrier also makes me lonely.
Who helps you during your new time in the US?
Actually, I do not have anyone because of the vote, I think that I can trust and trick all the money I have saved to live through the day. There are times when I think I will do other jobs to live. My parents and sister are very sorry for me. Thinking of them suffering because of me, I encouraged myself to live better every day.
Luckily, the Patriarch still let me sing to earn a living by my artistic labor. I have to thank the heavens by experiencing many waves, being battered by life, I still have a happy life like the present. What’s more fun when my career is on a peak, my little family is full of love and sharing.
Once broken marriage, the first son has autism , can she ever blame fate that always presents many challenges to me?
Before it was because I was so miserable, so humiliated, I just wanted to die. I tried to die but could not die, so when I was resurrected I went to spirituality, so I learned the words ‘accept’. Any challenge I can overcome is all, just my parents and relatives are peaceful.
How do you accept the truth to accompany your child?
Baby Skyler (son of Hong Nhung and her ex-husband) was found to have autism when she was over 2 years old. At first I did not want to believe but then I just wanted my child to recover from illness and live like other children, I was just as miserable. If I sit down to tell how hard I am, I don’t know where to tell. But I thank the previous unlucky marriage that gave me a precious child!
Me and my three children Skyler broke up because of the grace, then we became friends. Skyler’s father now has a new family, so I don’t want to affect his own life. Whenever you remember Skyler, you can pick up your baby at any time.

How long will it take for you to open your heart to receive the current husband, businessman Minh Quan?
After a few years, I am open to new love. I thank him very much. Although I rarely speak to him, I honestly consider him as the messenger given to me by some deity to wake up after the events in the life of a single mother. His kind heart and heart of heart conquered me completely.
How does he support you to take care of both Skyler and Sukem’s little daughter?
Because I know I need sleep to stay healthy after every night, I always wake up early every morning to take Skyler to class, then take my lunch to another class for children who are slow to speak. When he returned home, he let little Skyler have fun in the arms of his family.
Baby Skyler can now do some self-care tasks like dressing yourself, feeding, saying simple words, communicating language and eyes when you need to interact … Overall Baby is getting better every day and I will never let go of fate. And Sukem is too small so I and my family members take turns taking care.
Having lived together for a long time, why did you and your wife not hold a wedding?
I probably won’t marry anymore because I don’t want to stalk or organize anything. You and I think as long as you two are happy in simplicity. The two still joking around, waiting for me when I will be 60 years old to celebrate in the scenery around hanging big watches to remind time is the most precious milestone of life. If we don’t cherish every moment together, we lose those wonderful moments.
Currently she is quite busy when she has run a singing show and has her own nail business. How can you and your husband share the work to always take care of the two children in the best way?
I and I tried to arrange, but it will be indispensable for the great work of my grandmother Skyler and Sukem. Without such a strong rear, I find it hard to succeed in everything and have a stable family life.
