7) Hoang Thuy Lihn

“Dear Diary, I have a crush on Hoang Thuy Linh..”

The teenage star of the popular Vietnamese T.V. series “Vang Anh’s Diaries,” Hoang Thuy Lihn had a blurry sex tape starring herself and her then boyfriend that spread across the internet in 2007.

Vang Anh’s Diaries, it’s kind of like the Vietnamese Saved by the Bell only at their “The Max” they served pho.

Hoang Thuy Lihn was only 19 when the sex tape began making the rounds online. Her public image at the time, was an innocent and virtuous high school girl persona that she portrayed on her hit show “Vang Anh Diaries.” This was a stark contrast to the steamy but blurry sex tape that outraged the mostly conservative Vietnamese audiences watching her show.

Either this is an excerpt from her blurry sex tape or she is severely losing her jiu jitsu match.

Unfortunately this led to her show being cancelled by VTV and a public apology made by Hoang in an on air farewell. She claimed to have made a “terrible mistake” and apologized to fans, family, friends, and teachers.

We are not going to make fun of a crying person, but if we did it might go something like “I knew that pho was going to be too spicy” or something along those lines.

At first it appeared a career ender for the young Hoang who unlike Paris Hilton was largely condemned instead of celebrated for her sex life being made public. However there is an upside to this story.

She became 2015 version of Carmen San Diego!

Like a certain chipmunk faced former Disney star we all know here, Hoang was able to parlay this change in public perception into a new “grown up” image. She shed her innocent teen persona for a sexy one that has been in high demand for fashion shows, television appearances and several entertainment opportunities. Furthermore this led to a shift in the way other Vietnamese actresses and entertainers began presenting themselves. Many began posting racier and envelope pushing sexy images of themselves online and thus challenging Vietnam’s conservative values.

By the looks of things we would say she bounced back pretty well.
