Singer Bich Tuyen said that she and her husband had worked with the team of lawyers on the lawsuit from Dam Vinh Hung and found that some details were inaccurate and did not reflect the true nature of the incident.

Any communication between the two sides must go through a lawyer and be under the supervision of the authorities," Bich Tuyen said.
Dan Viet reporters have contacted Dam Vinh Hung to find out more information about the incident. However, the male singer has yet to respond.

The incident left the male singer seriously injured and had to have several toes amputated. Dam Vinh Hung said the accident forced him to change his schedule, canceling many performances in March and April 2024 to focus on treatment, resulting in significant financial losses. His spirit was also affected.
In the petition , the male singer stated that on February 19, while attending a party at Mr. Gerard's mansion, he was hit in the foot by debris from a concrete fountain. The fountain was used as a stage and an outdoor beverage stand but broke during the event. Dam Vinh Hung said that the defendant did not inspect and maintain the construction items according to regulations, leading to a serious incident. He requested Mr. Gerard to compensate him for the corresponding amount of money for medical expenses, financial losses due to canceled performances, and compensation for mental damage.
