Finally pushed to stand up and defend herself, for "Baifern Pimchanok" who has decided to sue an online troll for posting false statements that harmed her reputation, image, and feelings. Baifern revealed this is her first lawsuit in her 20-year career, declaring that she faced defamatory comments that were untrue. She said the opposing party has already negotiated a settlement and fully compensated the damages.
Suing an online troll?
"Yes. Let me clarify that I have never taken general criticism seriously and have accepted it over 20 years. This is the first case I have filed a lawsuit for."
Why did you decide to sue?
"I consulted with my legal team, my manager, and family. The messages went beyond the limit and were defamatory. It was excessive for me, so we agreed to proceed legally."
What kind of comments required action?
"False and defamatory messages. (Who advises you?) I have a legal team that has been with me all along. This is the first time I've filed a lawsuit."
Are there many cases?
"About one or so, not many. I accept honest criticism as a public figure, but this crossed the line. Personally, I did not want to take this step."
Did you sue for defamation and claim damages?
"Yes, I sued for defamation. The defendant apologized and paid damages. (Did you ask for a large amount?) Not too much or too little—according to what the court deemed appropriate."
Has there been apologies in other cases, and did you forgive?
"Other cases are still under review. (But there is one case already settled amicably?) Yes, mediation happened, with apologies and full compensation."
Does receiving a gift hamper the other cases?
"For each case, we don’t know what the future holds. It depends on the court process and how agreements are reached."
Have the comments decreased now?
"Actually, it’s not that many, but the defendant posted harsh and defamatory messages that were false and damaging to me. Generally, it’s not excessive."
Do you revisit old comments?
"No, I only handle current issues. This is the first time I’ve filed a lawsuit. I personally see these as untrue and seriously defamatory."
Which remarks pushed you to sue?
"Anything beyond reasonable limits. I prefer not to detail them. The defendant has apologized and fully compensated."
What would you say to those who post thoughtlessly?
"I want everyone to think carefully. As an actor, I don’t want to do this, but one day I must stand up for myself. Please be cautious."
Will you meet the opposing party?
"I attend court myself, but they did not show up, so I didn’t meet them."
Has your mental state improved?
"I’m okay. (Will someone manage your social media now?) No, I believe everyone is free to post on social media as before. I’m an actor who has always accepted criticism within limits. This case just went too far."
Will you attend all court hearings personally?
"Yes, I follow the process. Since I filed the lawsuit, I handle it myself."
