A heated drama erupted after a makeup artist posted about a famous artist disrespecting the team’s stylists, sparking heavy criticism. Then the male singer, ILLSLICK, posted that he would file legal charges against the makeup artist who made the claims.
Recently, a Facebook user who is a singer on ILLSLICK’s team clarified under the post, saying, “I’m a singer on ILLSLICK’s team. I want to share what the stylist didn’t: The issue began when the stylist arrived but the hairdresser didn’t start working and instead watched a funny clip loudly on an iPad. ILLSLICK asked him to mute it because he needed to rehearse and prepare for the stage.
But he didn’t stop watching the funny clip, so ILLSLICK told the makeup artist to stop their service, even though makeup had only been done for five minutes. The hairdresser was told not to work because ILLSLICK would handle it himself and the stylist team was asked to leave. There was no disrespect or rude language, just a straightforward statement that the stylist’s behavior was impolite and distracting.
He is paid half a million baht and can’t afford mistakes. ILLSLICK asked if funny clips could be watched later. When the stylists arrived at 22:40 and left at 23:00, the 20 minutes included unpacking, five minutes of makeup, and packing up.
When leaving, I greeted the stylists with a wai (Thai greeting), but I didn’t apologize. Afterwards, the stylist called the coordinator admitting the mistake of watching the funny clip and sent the bank details to refund the full makeup fee. We parted on good terms. When the stylists arrived, ILLSLICK greeted them kindly. The problem was only about the clip being played.”
However, the original makeup artist who posted responded sharply: “Hello, I’m not sure if you are the person who came in later, but before you arrived, there was scolding and profanity used during a phone call complaining about the stylist in English. If you are the same person, you’d see the stylist angrily continuing the dispute in the bathroom.
Regarding your saying that you greeted but didn’t apologize, the stylist may have misunderstood that you felt sorry on their behalf. At that moment, the stylist was shocked by the behavior, so that impression arose. If there was no apology, that’s fine. About the hairdresser playing a loud clip,
I, the makeup artist, told the hairdresser to wait for me to finish the artist’s makeup before starting hair. While waiting, the hairdresser played a TikTok clip, but it wasn’t loud at all. When asked if it was really playing, the answer was yes. Suddenly the artist said to turn it off because it was annoying.
I was surprised, and the hairdresser apologized to me, and I also apologized on their behalf. But the more we apologized, the more the artist complained and got angry. This happened before you came. You arrived later when we were already packing up with our team and the artist.
If you are that person who walked in, I hope you can understand the stylists and people who have worked with this artist. If you look at this neutrally, you’d see that such behavior from your artist, who is demanding and selfish, would cause this kind of situation. Everything was fine before work started. When the problem arose, our team didn’t hesitate to apologize. It was a minor issue that could have been handled politely.
About the bank transfer, yes, we waited for the artist from 21:30 almost to 22:00, and went up to meet them around 23:00. I don’t remember the exact details but I believe I fulfilled my responsibilities and should be paid accordingly. I didn’t ask for anything more or mention money, but rather spoke about the behavior and words used, which no one—regardless of status or income—should accept. I hope you understand the stylist team.
The stylist seemed to ask if this artist is always like this. You nodded in annoyance, right?
This is a lesson for your team. The two of us have no personal conflict. People are human, no matter how famous or expensive. I think not speaking disrespectfully or rudely, even if the hairdresser caused some displeasure, is a small matter that can be discussed calmly.
Famous people often handle such matters better, with warnings given politely. Some celebrities are friendlier and don’t blow small issues into major conflicts. This is something to think about. The problem stems from ego and personality.”
The singer from ILLSLICK’s team then replied, “I have informed the team that such posts will lead to legal action against anyone who falsely accuses, distorts facts, or defames others. We will pursue legal proceedings in all cases involving defamation or hate speech.”
Meanwhile, the hairdresser involved commented back to ILLSLICK’s team, saying, “As the hairstylist present during the incident about using a phone, I want to clarify that I was indeed watching something during the wait while the makeup was finishing, as is standard procedure, before starting hair.
I was scrolling TikTok quietly for about five minutes, no volume increase, but I admit I laughed softly at some clips. When I saw vocal warm-ups being done, I lowered the volume and then turned off the phone. Shortly after, the artist complained about the noise, but I had already turned it off before the complaint.
I was ready to apologize and continue working, but the more I apologized, the more the artist kept criticizing and insulting me. I apologized many times, not just once, and the makeup artist also apologized on my behalf to ease the situation. We came prepared and waited a long time to work. To be called unprofessional after making the artist wait for hours—is that professional?
At the same time, being spoken to with profanity and accusations of bad manners, despite my apologies and efforts to improve, should be addressed politely. I accept my mistakes and want to improve, but this matter should be discussed fairly, distinguishing between professional correction and verbal abuse.
The artist also reportedly shouted in the bathroom, cursing us, saying things like ‘I’m going to kick you,’ and used many harsh words. Only three people were involved; no outsiders were present.”
