This issue has been ongoing since Friday night, when a hashtag #MaleSingerTukFahTowerAsoke surfaced online, attracting considerable public attention after "Farida" or Fareeda Elizabeth T. the singer and actress posted a TikTok video discussing a male singer from a well-known label in the Asoke area who led a double life, exploited minors, was involved with drugs, and most importantly, impregnated her without taking responsibility.
Recently, Farida opened up about this through Thairath Entertainment, saying, "I met this singer through a mutual friend around the time he was debuting. My friend had previously dated a member of his band, so we got to know each other and followed each other on Instagram. At that time, we didn't really talk much, but it seemed like the male singer already had a girlfriend. I’m not sure, but he talked to my friend saying he was interested in me and had his eye on me. Back then, I didn't know if he was involved with someone else."
"Until around October to November, we started talking seriously. Before that, it was just playful teasing through Instagram stories. We teased each other when he posted stories, but I didn't think much of it. Then, during October and November, we began talking more seriously, met more often, and went out together frequently."
"Around February, I was already pregnant but didn't realize it until about three months in. I flew back from Taiwan to tell him because I was working there singing. I have proof since a friend was on the phone with me during the call, so I left the call on speaker."
The man said something like 'You're going to have a child? You know I'm not ready to be a father. What do you expect me to do? Is your family rich enough to support the baby? Then raise it yourself.' After that, the situation escalated. The man was staying at a tattoo shop, and a girl who was another man's girlfriend told me that this male singer wasn’t only involved with me; he was seeing many others, including 20-year-olds and university students. I felt this was unacceptable.
Several victims came forward to share similar experiences. I had already exposed him once before, but it didn’t get much attention. People encouraged me to reveal more so it would gain traction. After this second exposure, the truth came out clearly."
How long have you known him?
"Since his debut, though I can't recall the exact year. It was around then."
Would you say you were in a relationship?
"Yes. (How long?) Not long, it happened suddenly and then I got pregnant."
What was your relationship like at that time?
"He was caring, but his care wasn't exclusive to me. I didn't know he was seeing others. When I told him I was pregnant, I found a girl's hair in his room—specifically from a university girl I mentioned in my video."
Did he show any willingness to take responsibility after knowing about the pregnancy?
"No. He even suggested I terminate the pregnancy, but my family, especially my biological father, did not allow it. I chose to keep the baby because I didn’t want to harm the child. I feel capable of raising the baby since I work not only in acting but also other jobs. I can take care of the child."
Why did you decide to come forward and expose this publicly?
"I didn’t want him to get away with it. I heard from his exes that he has been doing this for a long time and there are many victims. He deceived minors under 15 and 18 years old. Female singers from other country music labels have messaged me on Instagram saying they were also victims but realized it in time. Most who contacted me are under 18."
After your video, did the male singer’s label take any action?
"None at all, only his manager followed my Instagram but didn't contact me."
And the male singer himself?
"Silent. No messages, no responses. Only my manager has been active on my side."
Are you afraid of social backlash or attacks from his fans for speaking out?
"I'm not afraid because I am telling the truth."
If he challenges you to a DNA test, would you agree?
"I would agree because he is the only one."
How are you emotionally after this ordeal and speaking out in the video?
"Honestly, deep down I’m overwhelmed but trying not to be stressed because I’m no longer just thinking about myself—I have another life to care for. So I try to stay cheerful, smile, and laugh during live streams. I don’t want to be stressed."
You mentioned in a previous clip that he might be using drugs?
"I don’t know if it’s drug use for sure, but his ex-girlfriend told me about it. I even challenged him during a live stream to take a drug test."
What will you do next after coming forward to confront him?
"I will fight to the end because I don’t want him to get away with this and do it to others. I want him to take responsibility, though I already expect his response. I don’t want him to hurt anyone else."
How did you feel when others told you they were also victimized by him?
"I feel like I have evidence to fight him."
If legal action arises one day, are you ready to fight?
"Yes, I am ready."
