A Cambodian actress, Denny Kwan, has been banned from making movies for a year because the country’s culture bosses say she is too sexy. The 24 year old actress, who does not agree with the claim, insists that her roles are not erotic but promised to be less sexy when posting on social media. Kwan said; “I will now try not to be sexy as I usually am when I post on Facebook,” Kwan, who has over 300,000 Facebook followers around the world, and has had a re-education session with the culture and fine arts ministry after it was decided she had violated a code of conduct, said that her movie roles were nothing like the erotic roles played by other actresses.
However, chief of the disciplinary council, Chamroeun Vantha, said Kwan was punished because she failed to respect a written promise she made with the ministry not to dress in a sexy way.
Pon Putborei, a spokesperson for the ministry of women’s affairs, said that as a public figure, Kwan does not have the right to wear whatever she wants.
“She needs to be careful with our culture,” he said.
The council members also barred her from participating in any activity in the entertainment industry for the duration of her ban.
