After Nawat Itsaragrisil the big boss of the Miss Grand beauty pageant revealed that Anutin Charnvirakul filed a defamation lawsuit against him at the Criminal Court due to a live broadcast in which he referenced COVID-19, alleging that Anutin proposed a draft Emergency Decree to limit liability for healthcare personnel treating COVID-19 patients, effectively granting amnesty to himself and associates by using medical staff as a front—a matter that became a public controversy earlier.
Recently, it seems everything ended well after mediation and the lawsuit was withdrawn. Nawat posted a statement and apology regarding the incident on his page, Nawat Itsaragrisil - Mr.Nawat Itsaragrisil, with the following content:
"Regarding my live broadcast on 9 Aug 2021 via my Facebook, which was subsequently shared and conveyed in a manner that led outsiders to understand the situation at the time as follows:
Anutin Charnvirakul, while serving as Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Public Health, and member of the Center for COVID-19 Situation Administration, was said to have proposed a draft Emergency Decree limiting liability for healthcare personnel treating COVID-19 patients to grant amnesty for himself and associates by using medical staff as a front.
2. Subsequently, Anutin Charnvirakul filed a criminal defamation lawsuit against me at the Criminal Court, case number Or.2029/2564, red number Or.207/2566. The court facilitated mediation, and this offense is subject to settlement.
