On the afternoon of December 4, on his personal Facebook page, singer Dam Vinh Hung spoke up about withdrawing the lawsuit against billionaire Gerard Richard Williams III.
The singer wrote:
“After a period of careful consideration, Gerard Williams and I sat down and talked together to come to the decision to withdraw the lawsuit, affirming that we will not sue again, to avoid negative information and bad things from happening again. This is the decision I think is the most appropriate, to bring peace to both sides.”
Dam Vinh Hung added:
“Not every decision in my life is 100% correct. And anger has always made people make incorrect decisions, it is completely opposite to their true nature.”
That is the singer’s confession, contrary to his previous status, he completely blamed the defendant.
Thoibao.de once commented “It is unclear whether Hung has learned a lesson from Nguyen Phuong Hang or not?”
Hang also did wrong, but still decided to defend her wrong, in the end she still had to apologize. Thus, Hung had to repeat Hang’s steps, when he was wrong but still decided to butt heads with public opinion, and in the end had to surrender.
Apologies or confessions admitting his mistakes are necessary. However, leading to a deadlock situation and then being forced to turn back is not a wise choice. A wise person is someone who knows how to behave properly from the beginning, while arrogance and complacency, leading to trying to defend the wrong, only to turn back when the end comes, is the way of an unwise person.
No matter how he expresses himself, the “footprints” on the singer Dam’s lawsuit journey are hard to erase. The audience no longer values Hung as before. The fact that a series of show organizers in the US have canceled their shows, and the audience is gradually disappearing, is a situation that the male singer can hardly reverse.
The singer’s “foolishness” leading to an accident that caused him to lose a toe and then asking the homeowner to compensate him up to $15 million, has caused outrage in society. Because this clearly shows that the male singer’s nature is unemotional, greedy, and irresponsible for his actions.
In contrast to the singer’s excessiveness, is the homeowner’s tolerance. The billionaire homeowner only countersued the singer when the singer sued unreasonably. More cleverly, he only asked for a symbolic $1 in compensation and an apology from the singer if he won the lawsuit. The gentle and noble behavior of billionaire Gerard Williams III made the singer’s recklessness stand out even more. This gentle blow from the host had a significant impact on the singer.
Faced with the strength of both reason and emotion of Gerard Williams III, Hung went from “red-faced” when he aggressively demanded compensation, to “yellow as turmeric” when he saw no chance of winning the lawsuit. That is why he withdrew the lawsuit and admitted his mistake, because if he did not, his reputation would plummet, and he would also be condemned for his ethics, etc.
This is a lesson not only for those involved, but also for famous people at the peak of their glory. That is, the success of a singer is largely due to the audience. The audience lifts the singer up but can also overthrow the singer. Therefore, the singer needs to protect himself, needs to live ethically and kindly. The world has always had no shortage of poor but kind people, so why can’t a person with money and fame do the same? It is unclear whether singer Dam has learned any lessons?
The public’s recent reaction shows that society no longer wants to tolerate famous people who lack kindness, morality and personality. This is a good thing.
Following the crowd will make your career flourish, going against the crowd will make your career decline!
