It has become a hot topic after news broke about singer and beauty queen Ning Patthama Jitsawat Miss Grand Thailand 2026, who has proceeded to file a lawsuit against her ex-lover, the leader of the “Patthama Band,” on multiple charges. She revealed that he threatened and blackmailed her for large sums, claiming he would post old couple photos, secret images, and pre-surgery pictures to publicly shame her. Concerned about damaging her reputation, she transferred money multiple times totaling over 670,000 baht.
On the Attarot and trusted lawyer pages, there was a summary post about the case stating that their relationship began in 2022 when Ning Patthama invited Yo to work as the band leader of “Patthama Band.” They dated for over a year, but by late 2024, Ning ended the relationship, citing incompatible views and feeling unable to progress to a romantic partnership.
After breaking up, Yo did not let go. Ning revealed that he threatened to blackmail her by posting past couple photos, secret images, and pre-surgery facial photos to fans. Fearing damage to her image and her Miss Grand Thailand 2026 title, she reluctantly transferred over 670,000 baht in multiple payments.
Later, Ning refused to pay an additional 100,000 baht demanded by threats. Yo then posted couple photos on 22 June, claiming they had been together for over 4 years. Ning denied the 4-year claim, saying the photo was a deliberate setup when he approached her in Jomtien Beach, Pattaya. She authorized her lawyer to file criminal charges at Udomsuk Police Station for serious offenses including extortion, blackmail, defamation by advertising, Computer Crime Act violations, and PDPA breaches.
There was also news that on 24-25 June, after Yo posted the photo and the drama grew, he became fearful and returned 650,000 baht to Ning to avoid liability. However, legally, the extortion offense had already been completed, so returning money later does not erase the crime.
Ning Patthama has requested the police investigate Yo’s financial transactions to find out who provided the 650,000 baht he returned. She also asked for inquiries into who might be behind a deliberate plan to fabricate falsehoods to ruin her reputation before she travels to compete in Miss Grand International 2026 in India.
Meanwhile, Yo’s group of musician friends, his ex-lover’s circle, posted messages defending him as a good person who never refuses requests for help, never takes advantage of anyone, and never rides on others’ fame for gain. They also dropped a bombshell statement questioning who originally created the band that brought work and fame, only to be betrayed and abandoned like this.
There was also a chat claiming to be between Yo and a friend, where the friend asked, “Yo, Ning’s friend commented that you threatened to extort 300,000 baht. What’s the truth? Why do they claim to have evidence? I don’t think that’s your style.” Yo replied briefly, “Definitely not me, haha.”
