Poompui Opens Up About Four Years of Drama Over Hiding Her Childs Face

She is regarded as one of the strongest mothers in the entertainment industry, the model Poompui Pantipa Arunwatthanachai. She is the wife of the singer Kwin Duval. Previously, Poompui chose to keep her child's face hidden because she wanted to do what she thought was best to protect her child. However, she faced ongoing social media backlash with harsh comments.

Recently, Poompui Pantipa posted an image of some of the harsh critical comments she has endured over the past four years on her fan page Pantipa.a. She also shared her heartfelt thoughts about this, saying, “What you see today is only a tiny fraction of what we have faced all along. Many people speak as if it’s a small matter, just opinions to be brushed off, but for me, it is something that drains me again and again every day. As a first-time mother, I tried to do what I believed was best to protect my child. When I saw something good that others did, I wanted to try it too, but I was questioned, judged, and made to feel wrong. This is not an excuse but a truth from a perspective most people are not in because those who haven't experienced it will never understand, and those who understand would never say such things. I am not seeking sympathy, just asking you to imagine how you would handle this if it were you.”

Previously, Poompui also posted a message from a netizen requesting that she delete a past harsh comment the netizen had made, which Poompui had shared on her page, claiming they did not realize and were only asking without intending to be critical. She wrote, “Over the past four years, the decision to show or hide our child’s face was not about wanting to show off but came from pressure, words, and judgment from society continuously since the news broke. No matter who has a child, I was compared, teased, criticized, and occasionally disturbed by messages. Some even escalated to hateful comments on news pages. This has gone on for many years without stopping.

During the time right after childbirth, when the body and mind are still recovering, I had to face repeated words, judgments, and guidance. Those who haven’t been in this position might not understand how deeply it affects the heart. At that time, I believed my approach was good, and as a new mother, I chose what I thought was best to protect my child. But when my decisions differed from others, it became a never-ending source of questioning, to the point I doubted if I was really doing something wrong.

Some ideas might work well for those not under society's watchful eyes, but for me, they don’t. Today’s decision is a choice for my own mental health and family peace, not to please anyone or seek anyone’s permission. Before questioning, doubting, or commenting on someone’s life, remember that every word has an impact, and the speaker must take responsibility for what they choose to say, rather than demanding others be responsible while they are not.”
