The hotly debated drama surrounding Benz Prikthai who posted an Instagram story featuring the phrase “Luk Phraya Na Muen,” which sparked significant online controversy.
Recently, Benz Prikthai or Benz Drinrat Minawanich issued a statement and apology, affirming that reposting the phrase “Luk Phraya Na Muen” was not intended to reference or connect to the go-kart racing event in any way. It was simply her content at that time. She pledged to be more cautious going forward and said she will protect her rights against anyone using her images or clips to cause misunderstandings.
“Over the past several days, I have seriously reflected on what happened, including my words and actions. I have read many people's opinions and tried to see the issue from the perspective of those who saw my message.”
“I admit that some words I used, particularly the phrase ‘Luk Phraya Na Muen’ in my story, were not carefully considered.”
“Today I understand that regardless of my feelings or intentions when using that phrase, it could have made many people feel bad, as if I was elevating myself above others or disrespecting them, which I should never have let happen.”
“I sincerely apologize to everyone who felt hurt by that phrase. Regarding the reposted message, I want to reaffirm that it was not and is not intended to reference or link to the go-kart race. It was part of my content style during that period.”
“But I also understand that even without such intent, once the message is public, viewers may interpret or feel differently than I intended. I must take responsibility for what I share, not just explain that I didn’t mean it that way.”
“This experience has taught me that sometimes what we think is just words or entertainment content can affect others' feelings more than we realize.”
“Regarding the legal matters I mentioned earlier, I want to clarify that I do not intend to suppress anyone’s honest opinions or criticisms. I am always open to differing views.”
“However, when harsh words cause harm, or when my images or clips are used alongside misleading messages that damage my reputation publicly, I must protect my rights in those cases.”
“I know this apology may not immediately make everyone feel better, and I don’t expect everyone to understand or forgive me today. But at least I want everyone to know that I am listening and do not overlook anyone’s feelings.”
“From now on, I will be more careful with my words and content—not just to avoid problems but because I understand that our words truly affect others’ feelings.”
“Finally, I thank everyone who has advised me and shared their opinions, including my fans and supporters who continue to care and encourage me. I apologize again to everyone affected by this issue.”
“I can’t undo the repost I made, but I choose to learn and be more cautious with my words. I sincerely apologize. Benz.”
Many people who read the message commented extensively, offering support, acknowledging mistakes and corrections, and expressing readiness to forgive. Fans continue to love Benz as before.
