Angie Vu couldn’t help the tears that fell when a Brooklyn judge informed her that as much as he would like to spring her from prison to face parental abduction charges in France, he had no choice but to keep her in jail to await their response.

Vu has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center since Nov. 3, the day she arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport as she was about to get on a flight to Vietnam with her 9-year-old daughter Isabella. The biological father Richard Froger has legal custody of her and obtained an arrest warrant from a family court in Paris after Vu did not abide by their agreement to return the child.
The French authorities have 60 days to file court papers on whether they will proceed with a contempt of court case against Vu.
Federal prosecutor Ryan Harris has argued that Vu, a popular deejay and model in Asia who has also posed in Playboy and appeared on the show “America’s Got Talent,” is a risk to go on the lam if she is released on bail.
Defense lawyer Mia Eisner-Grynberg said her client already has custody of her daughter in Vietnam and intends to file for custody in her homeland.
