After the popular page SaoPao - This Matter Must Be Taken Seriously raised the hot topic of a famous entertainment industry woman hiding a 17-year-old boy, causing the boy's parents to prepare to file charges for child abduction. Many linked the rumor to whether the celebrity was the fiery female DJ. Tonhom Sakuntala Thianpairot or not. Recently, DJ Tonhom clearly denied it was her at the official launch of the new "PD MUT Ubon Ratchathani" at Fakeclub Ratchada Soi 4.
When asked about the initials in the rumor linking a celebrity to hiding a 17-year-old?
“(Laughs) I want to tell everyone right here that I won’t disappoint because I’ve never dated anyone that young. When the news came out, I read it and felt that the image in the news seemed to be about me. It was like the article was written specifically for me.”
“Just scroll through the comments, see? There! They say it’s a certain female DJ. But I never think of others that way. I feel my image is very clear and fits me. I’m not angry if people comment that it’s me because I looked around the industry. Anyone who might fit this rumor closely has been checked and not found. I feel my image is quite clear.”
“Then as more people started commenting that it’s me, I decided to use this opportunity to post a statement. We actually had a statement ready to post but planned to post it as an image. However, since most people don’t look at images, we chose not to post it as a picture today.”
Did the initial news cause any discomfort?
“Not really, because I haven’t been involved in that for a while now. But did I reflect on myself? Yes, I did. But definitely not with a 17-year-old, because whenever I do anything, I consider that I am a celebrity and can’t act carelessly. I don’t have any evidence to the contrary. So, I’m always the home team; they come to my place only. I feel I’m quite careful. (The youngest person you date?) The youngest? They are already of legal age. (Laughs)”
Are you admitting this frankly?
“That I do date sometimes? Yes, I do. Just look at my face. Recently, I recorded a show with Khun Oh Anuchit, and he was so impressed that his sister recorded a clip saying, ‘You’re very beautiful. My heart is fluttering.’ He really said that.”
“During the recording of Puth Talk, Khun Great Warintorn replaced Khun Puak and was signing something while looking down. He said, ‘Oh, did you do something? You look much more beautiful.’ The beauty is obvious. Someone must be paying attention and interested in me. (Laughs)”
Are you stressed about people linking the rumor to you?
“It’s not stress because I know myself that it’s not me. Also, with a 17-year-old, there are legal issues. What I have always been careful about are two things: child abduction and being the third party, because those are illegal and could lead to lawsuits. So, I never do those things.”
Will you sue those hinting your name or any remarks damaging your reputation?
“There was one very harsh comment I couldn’t accept. Someone asked if it was me, using initials T.H., and another comment said, ‘No, it’s a top-tier celebrity.’ That’s definitely not me. That really hurt because I’m not a top-tier celebrity. (Smiles)”
Previously, you posted about going to the Criminal Court. People linked that maybe the mother of the boy was suing?
“Going to the Criminal Court was about someone taking celebrity photos, editing them into nude and obscene images, and the prosecutor pressing charges. Celebrities with photos in those images were summoned as witnesses. I was asked if I wanted to sue, but I didn’t because I didn’t want to go to court. In the end, I had to go as a witness anyway. In hindsight, I wish I had sued to get some compensation. It was a pity.”
Are you clearing once again that it’s definitely not you?
“Definitely not me. To anyone commenting and asking me to confirm, I affirm that I would never behave in a way to disappoint. I have to behave well so I can honestly criticize others. Saying it’s not me isn’t good either. (Laughs)”
Have you ever faced initials rumors that damaged your reputation worse than this?
“In the past, there was an accusation about a pyramid scheme. That was very hard for me because I didn’t even know what a pyramid scheme was. It stressed me out since I wasn’t involved but had to prove myself.”
“At that time, almost every celebrity brand was affected. I felt stressed from that experience. But now that I’ve proven my innocence and all my work is honest, I’m no longer worried. I thank you for mentioning it because that brought media to this event. Thank you very much. (Smiles)”
So you are clearing that the child abduction initials rumor is definitely not true?
“Definitely not. If the boy is 17 and I’m 30 years older, that’s too big a gap. It’s impossible.”},{
