Recently, Louis Phạm (real name Phạm Như Phương, born in 2003) attracted attention when she returned to livestream on the TikTok platform. This livestream was particularly noteworthy as it marked the first time the 21-year-old hot girl livestreamed after the controversy surrounding her fundraising efforts during the Yagi storm in September.
This latest move by Louis Phạm drew thousands of viewers. However, instead of engaging with her content, many netizens flooded the livestream with the phrase “phông bạt” (covering). Reading the comments from the audience, Louis Phạm displayed a forced smile, brushing off the situation as she continued her livestream.
“I was surprised to see her livestream again, didn’t think she would return so quickly,” “All I see in the comments are ‘phông bạt’,” “Why is she so calm, everyone?” were among the comments from netizens.
It is known that Louis Phạm livestreams on her personal TikTok channel, which has 1.1 million followers. She is currently on a trip to Thailand with her boyfriend, Paul Lê. The couple is visiting a bustling market, and Louis Phạm is dressed provocatively. The livestream primarily featured scenes of her sitting in the market, occasionally interacting with curious locals and children; she often read comments without responding.
In the past month, Louis Phạm has been more active on social media, regularly updating her daily life with posts about attending weddings, playing golf, pickleball, and now traveling to Thailand with her boyfriend. However, her reception from netizens has not been as warm as before.
Notably, the hot girl faced criticism for posting images and clips of herself in overly intimate poses with her boyfriend at someone else’s wedding. Many netizens felt she was lacking in grace and subtlety. Additionally, her provocative fashion choices at inappropriate times further fueled netizen outrage.
After the personal controversies, Louis Phạm also cut her hair short. Her looks and fashion style have not changed significantly compared to before, leading many netizens to feel that she has quickly moved on from past issues and is gradually returning to her online activities.
Since the beginning of 2024, Louis Phạm has been involved in numerous scandals on social media. In late September 2024, she faced accusations from netizens of “covering” the funds raised to support those affected by the Yagi storm. Specifically, she had shared three screenshots of transactions made to the Vietnam Fatherland Front for support, with icons obscuring a long string of zeros that led many to believe the amount reached hundreds of millions of VND. When the Vietnam Fatherland Front released the transaction statements, netizens “checked VAR” on the transactions that matched her shared images, revealing amounts of 500,000 VND, 10,000 VND, and 1 million VND.
Subsequently, she admitted to her mistakes and apologized, stating that she had “intentionally concealed the donation amount and misled public opinion.” Recognizing her faults, Louis Phạm has taken a stern approach towards self-reflection and promised not to repeat such shameful behavior.
Before this, Louis Phạm also faced heavy criticism for a controversial photo regarding political views, along with being accused of “flexing” by borrowing someone else’s account balance to show off luxury items on social media.
In light of these dramas, she chose to go “off-grid” on social media for about a month, after which she began to return by posting images and videos related to charity work, traveling, and exercising with her boyfriend. However, most of Louis Phạm’s posts have received backlash and mixed comments.
