The Ho Chi Minh City Department of Information and Communications has imposed an additional fine of VND10 million (US$400) on Nguyen Thi Le Nam Em, well known as Nam Em, who was crowned at the Miss Mekong Delta 2015, and proposed blocking her on Facebook and TikTok for her allegations about other celebrities.
The municipal department has sent its proposal for the blockage of her Facebook and TikTok accounts to the Minister of Information and Communications for consideration.
The municipal department had a meeting with Nam Em, 28, for questioning on Tuesday morning.
On March 1, the municipal department levied an administrative fine of VND37.5 million (US$1,500) on her for her contentious remarks and insults to celebrities and national heroes in her previous social media live streams.
The municipal department warned Nam Em not to repeat her violations.
However, she continued violating regulations on providing controversial information in public, resulting in the extra fine of VND10 million.
Nam Em on March 16 frightened the watchers of her live stream when she started broadcasting herself late at night but said nothing.
She suddenly ran to the balcony of her residence and jumped out, but she did not return home.
Nearly half an hour later, her boyfriend turned off her live stream without any explanation.
Her weird action puzzled many viewers as the act was deemed dangerous.
Multiple videos and images of Nam Em about the live-stream session went viral afterward.
Many people opined that the content of her live stream was toxic, so it was necessary to prevent and eliminate her social media broadcasting for good.
