Regarding the family blood feud involving Neck Chalee, who filed a lawsuit against his four older sisters of the Potjes family, at the end of 2024,
recently, lawyer Nida Saranya Wangsukcharoen, who represents the four sisters, updated on the defamation lawsuit by advertising filed by Neck Chalee, saying the four aunts were shocked by the lawsuit from their younger brother. Each party holds different stances. The court will hold a hearing on 29 Jan 2026 GMT+7. If the court dismisses the case, it will be a blessing for Neck's four sisters. It was revealed that Neck does not seek damages but requests imprisonment.
"He (Neck Chalee) filed a defamation lawsuit by advertising against the four aunts, with multiple counts and occasions starting around mid-last year, claiming the four aunts damaged Neck's reputation, accused him falsely, and so on. The aunts responded by defending themselves, explaining the truth about who they are, how they earn their living, how they use money, and their condition. Their intention was to clarify themselves.
We do not deny that he did post messages; the evidence is clear, and he admits to writing them. But from our perspective, we believe the four aunts acted in good faith. There were necessary reasons for their explanation because they faced heavy criticism and could not earn a living. They felt justified in defending themselves. However, it is also Neck's right to view this as unjust and to file the lawsuit."
"We continue to fight the case for them but cannot predict the court's decision. The next hearing for the ruling is on the 29th of this month. The four aunts were shocked by the lawsuit from their younger brother and are believed to be stressed. Since they are siblings, everyone is probably under stress—the plaintiff and the defendants alike. Litigation is stressful regardless of the side, but since they cannot resolve it through discussion, it must proceed through the court process."
"If the court finds the case valid, the fight will continue in the witness stage. If the court dismisses it, it will be a blessing for the four aunts. We are doing our best. He is not demanding damages; the lawsuit requests imprisonment."
"From cases we have handled, when family or siblings sue each other, we hope they can communicate, but they cannot find common ground. It must follow the judicial process."
"Currently, each person holds different views and perspectives. We are not saying Neck's actions lack reason; he has his reasons. The four aunts have their reasons too. They cannot reach a mutual agreement, standing on different rationales."
Meanwhile, Aunt Tang, the eldest sister of Neck Chalee, shared a post from the page 'Neighboring Auntie' that recounted the news about herself, adding a caption to netizens saying, "This is not about money or fighting. Just want to inform. Please do not comment. I do not want anyone else to get into trouble."
