After encountering comments on social media claiming that Namtaan Thipnaree Weerawatnodom controls her fans, the beautiful actress felt compelled to go live to address the issue. Namtaan explained the situation as follows:
Namtaan said she does not want to control her fans or cause conflicts because everyone’s intentions are understood. She knows who her fans are, loves and cares for them. She cannot choose what kind of fans she has. Fans are like customers who come to enjoy the product, and Namtaan fulfills her role as an artist by doing her best in every project.
If Namtaan doesn’t have work, she won’t have money to live on. It’s better when clients give her work than when she has none. Without work, what would people follow? She clarified that her comments were not about wanting to control fans but because certain behaviors affect her work environment and deter others from wanting to collaborate. Previously, everyone praised Namtaan’s fans for being lovely and well-organized, but now, working with Namtaan Film has become difficult—not due to lack of effort from Namtaan Film, but because...
When people accused Namtaan of controlling her fans, she had to defend herself. She understands all her fans and that everyone wantsNamtaanto be in the best position.
Let me explain first—this is not about defending anyone. If someone fights for Namtaan on a matter, and they speak ill without basis, how will others perceive it? For example, in accepting work, the manager is not involved in final decisions but advises whether to accept a project. Sometimes the manager encourages acceptance, but ultimately, Namtaan decides.
Namtaan wants everyone to love her reasonably and use empathetic language. She is an artist whose fanbase knows she often talks about empathy, yet surprisingly, some fans lack empathy. She was shocked and urged them to consider others’ feelings and imagine how they would feel if they were spoken to in such a way.
Fans represent the artist’s image since they use her photos and name publicly. There have been cases where artists lost jobs or had endorsements canceled because their fans behaved poorly. Namtaan does not want that to happen to her, especially since she feels she has done her best. She wants to avoid such situations affecting her.
She emphasized again that she wasn’t referring to any particular group or nationality of fans. Some words may not be her mother tongue, especially in Thai, but she said frankly that such behavior is unkind and unacceptable coming from her fans.
She understands emotions and wanting to vent, and suggested writing feelings on paper or screaming out loud instead of posting online. Namtaan recalled being a child who once used unkind words and learned from that experience. She understands social media is a double-edged sword that reflects who we are. Everyone gets angry, including herself, but there are healthier ways to express it without posting harsh words online. As an artist, she should not use bad language on social media because it harms her and sets a poor example for younger fans who might imitate such behavior for popularity.
Fans use Namtaan’s name and photos, so when they behave badly, it is Namtaan who suffers the consequences. Despite not doing anything wrong herself, she bears the negative impact. She urged fans to have emotional maturity and not lash out with harsh words just because they want something. She said she could hardly believe her own eyes thatshe has come to a point wherepeople say her fans are not kind.
