Past scandals

Ngoc Trinh's 20 years in showbiz can be divided into 3 stages: early career, before and after the legal incident.

In 2005, she debuted as a model under the management of manager Vu Khac Tiep, which was also the most controversial period of her career with a series of negative rumors related to her background.

More than 2/3 of the beauty's career is associated with scandals. That is the addiction to showing off her body, showing off her wealth, shocking statements, love scandals, suspicions of using counterfeit goods, suspicions of lying...

With her scandalous image, she often attracts similar partners. Typical examples include the love scandal with businessman Hoang Kieu, who is 45 years older than her, or participating in creating tricks to "inflate" land prices in Bao Loc, old Lam Dong .

The beauty also left her mark with two memorable scandals: advertising "junk" cryptocurrency, being accused of "tricking" (meaning luring ignorant people to invest money - PV) and wearing nothing on the Cannes red carpet.

Ngoc Trinh's last scandal to date was being prosecuted for disturbing public order in October 2023.

Also during 2/3 of that journey, it is unclear what Ngoc Trinh did for a living.

She is a model by profession but has no real achievements. The 8X girl is 1.67m tall, does not meet the body measurements of a model or the basic skills of the profession; she mostly performs in shows organized by Vu Khac Tiep, sometimes in shows of close friends.

Later, the beauty used that fame to enter the business world and become a YouTuber.

Unique Ngoc Trinh brand

From a media perspective, Ngoc Trinh is one of the beauties who has built an impressive personal brand. In the early stages, she was promoted with 3 most prominent factors: white, pretty, and obedient.

The "pretty, good-natured, white" beauty model is not rare in showbiz, but only Ngoc Trinh becomes a typical model because it is methodically built and closely follows her real personality and character.

Among countless beauties with white skin, 8X must be the whitest, to the point of forming a familiar saying "white as Ngoc Trinh".

To build the image of a good girl, Ngoc Trinh was "directed" by the crew for an interview where she answered directly about prominent issues and rumors.

With her innocent style, the sentence "If you love someone but don't have money, you'll have to eat dirt?" caused a heated debate, helping her quickly become known nationwide.

The more public opinion argues, the more famous Ngoc Trinh becomes. She does not avoid but boldly builds her personal brand associated with the element of "honest Westerner", not overlapping with any other beauty in the entertainment industry.

Her unique personal brand helped Ngoc Trinh maintain her reputation for a long time. Showbiz is not lacking in beautiful, intelligent, even arrogant and unruly women, but the image of a simple, naive person like Ngoc Trinh at that time was not much, so she was more easily loved.

At a certain age, Ngoc Trinh and her team upgraded her image to become a rich, successful showbiz figure, removing the "good girl" element but still being genuine and honest.

Nowadays, whatever she says is accompanied by content showing off her assets. 8X on all platforms and social networks is associated with a lavish, wealthy life, living in a big house, driving a luxury car, piled up with branded goods and only using high-end services.

But in countless clips of her "unboxing" luxury goods, living in luxury and traveling around the world , she still occasionally accidentally or intentionally makes silly statements.

Contrary to popular belief, Ngoc Trinh is never out of fashion. Despite the rise of younger beauties, she is still sought after on the internet and at events.

This beauty's secret is to create a series of small and medium-sized scandals that do not cause serious consequences but are enough to keep her name "hot".

After causing enough controversy, Ngoc Trinh kept silent, waited for the noise to die down, then continued updating social networks as if nothing had happened.

The case of Ngoc Trinh driving a motorbike with both hands free and posing dangerously was probably a small and medium controversy as usual, but unexpectedly it violated the law and was considered a crime of Disturbing public order .

Sales, advertising and event fees; 7.2 million TikTok followers, 5.9 million Fanpage followers and 5.6 million Instagram followers of Ngoc Trinh are all "talking" numbers.

Growing up after falling

After life events, Ngoc Trinh changed unexpectedly.

She limits showing off and posting overly revealing photos. Most of her posts still have the "food girl" tone (the beauty's nickname - PV) but are gentler and more modest.

Since Ngoc Trinh appeared, the two most discussed questions that have never been satisfactorily answered include: "Where does Ngoc Trinh get the money to be so rich?" and "In what capacity does Ngoc Trinh exist in showbiz?".

Because in the past, people could not find her real contributions to the entertainment industry but could easily list her scandals; even her toxic image could have a negative impact on the lifestyle of a segment of young people.

But now, Ngoc Trinh seems to have found the answer to the second question, although to become a real actress, she still needs a long journey.

Ngoc Trinh's current notable movies include: 56cm waist, Vu quy dai nao, Duyen ma, Chi chi em em 2 and Chi dau .

Among them, Waist 56 is a self-produced film to "whitewash" the image; Ghostly Fate is a graduation film that was brought to theaters; and Sister Sister 2 is not bad but the element of selling one's body to attract customers is too obvious.

Therefore, she only has 2 average movies even though the role of Trang in Vu Quy Dai Nao is only plump and cute while the role of Ut Nhu in Chi Dau mostly has the identity of Ngoc Trinh in real life, not showing any acting ability.

Next year, the beauty confirmed that she will play the main role in the movie "The Underworld Beauty Salon" by Nguyen Huu Hoang - director of "Ma da", "Slaughter Lens", "Parallel "... This could be a turning point in the 8X's career.

And whether becoming a professional actress or multi-talented, Ngoc Trinh's change still needs to be recognized, contributing to creating a clean showbiz and positively influencing the thinking and lifestyle of the young generation.
