Political criticism

edit

In the aftermath of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Nay Chi Oo stayed ominously silent for the first few weeks after the coup, only responding after her fans requested her to do so. When she did join the protests, it was with an entourage of bodyguards. She became the subject of social boycotts and a social punishment movement due to her association with a high-ranking military family. She tried to donate to a Civil Disobedience Movement Support charity, and the donation was refunded to her, with the organization saying they didn't want her money.[19][20] A number of business brands that have collaborated with Nay Chi Oo have announced the end of their partnership.[21]

Nay Chi Oo shared her perspective on the military coup as someone who grew up in a military family after facing criticism on social media. She expressed, “I come from a military family background. However, I condemn anyone who supports this state rebellion against the will of the people".[22]

On 30 March 2021, she was blacklisted by Myanmar Bloggers Community.[23]
