Celebrity beautician files libel cases against two police officers

Beauty expert Xeping Chaiyasan’s lawyer on Wednesday filed two defamation suits against two senior police officers and a Channel 3 host and sought a compensation of Bt50 million from each of them for allegedly wrongfully criticising her business.

 

Lawyer Chamong Chaimongkon went to the Criminal Court with her client, Xeping, 46, to file the lawsuits against former Immigration Police Bureau chief Pol Lt-General Surachet Hakparn and deputy chief of Lumpini Police Station, Pol Lt-Colonel Noppadon Pingpongpun.

 

The lawsuit claimed they had made libellous accusations against Xeping during a press conference on April 4 while explaining why they had sought an arrest warrant for Xeping, said the lawyer. Xeping was accused of making exaggerated claims in her beauty business. The lawyer said their remarks at the press conference had tarnished Xeping’s reputation. 

 

Xeping was arrested on April 3 on charges of fraud in the running of her beauty clinic. 

 

She has also sought legal action against Kanchai Kamnerdploi, a Channel 3 host, who moderated a group discussion on the controversy in April.

 

She has also sought a compensation of Bt50 million from Kanchai.

Poor old Big Joke. He went from hero to zero overnight. Maybe being sued for defamation is all part of his big come back. Or as some of the deluded members on here think, it's the beginning of his political career. ????????

This country is funked up.

What's with the 'X' in 'Xeping'. That is not a Thai name.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

And in the finest traditions of Thai journalism, absolutely no mention in the OP article of what's become of the criminal case against this woman in the wake of her arrest.

Were the criminal charges ever filed by prosecutors after her arrest?  Was the case dismissed? Is it still pending in the criminal courts... WHAT?????

Big Joke is getting more funny than anyone could possibly have imagined.

Just wait until the rest of his shenanigans comes out out. Arrogance and pomposity and treading on the shoes of others will get them in the end.

Big Joke is history!

One thing about this case that always seemed odd was, I never quite followed what Thai Immigration had to do with a fraud case against a Thai beauty shop operator.... I thought that strange and unusual at the time the case/arrest was first reported.

Agree, to keep some balance in this report why didn't the media involved give some details of why she was charged?

[Lupatria]

When I read about BJ's few day trip to the US, I suspected he meet with his publisher to discuss details of his "tell all story". I still believe when it gets tight for him he will publish it. He's not the guy to let go when: 

He probably did not decide yet if it will come as a reading or comic book.

[MrMo]

Well, that should fail at the first day in court.   Libel is for the written word; spoken defamation would be slanderous.   Unless, of course, it's the translators mistake.

The 'X' gives the name that impressive and fashionable Chinese flair...

Another example of why defamation laws here need to have some intersection with reality

But this is Thailand, the original LaLa land where fantasy and reality are each in parallel universes.

An interesting name indeed. I gave it some thought.

 

Without the 'x' she could not have been accused of being a 'sexy hag in a panic' as the anagram of her full name suggests.

Reality

Logic

........... searching ..........

.......ERROR.... words not found in Thai dictionary nor vocabulary ........... System error.

[owl sees all]

I think she is lovely.

 

But before I let her into my farm-house mansion bedroom, to demonstrate how good her beauty products are, I'd like to know if she make a decent cup of Rosy.

Why does it have to be?  I know quite a few Thais that have 'non-Thai' names.  One called George for example.  And yes that's what's on his ID card.

I'm English with a French name.  .............

It is not illegal (in the west) to call yourself Doctor. 

 

that's a simple fact. you can not practice medicine and there are other titles you can not give yourself - you can not put Phd after your name [for memory] etc etc but you can call yourself Dr. 

[Zack61]

She’s adopted attack as her best form of defence and Thailand’s ridiculous defamation laws make this a logical choice when you have no plausible defence argument. Watch this space.

So either the charges were incorrectly made in which case she has a case... with Channel 3 maybe they were a bit quick off the mark with it a case pending going to court!

But have the charges been proven or thrown out?

[Ulic]

I have never really understood this case. All makeup and beauty companies exaggerate the ability of their products to "turn back the clock" so to speak, and all those who wear makeup seek to pull the wool over other people's eyes and "defraud" them into believing the person wearing the makeup is more beautiful than they actually are. Indeed, viewing some of the transformations on YouTube the transformations of some are truly astounding. I am not really sure why she, and celeberadies in Thailand who have endorsed beauty products have been charged. Thais must be exceptionally gullible to believe the veracity of claims made to actually believe the claims fully. Akin to alchemists of an age past actually being able to turn lead into gold.

It’s not if but how much she will win.

 

you do not take on someone that high up unless you know someone higher up????

[Guest]

This woman has two legs to stand on but none in court as big joke was spot on with his comments and she can not prove her case.

this is not the issue that has inflicted pain on the big joke just a side issue.

Well, in America Chiropractors and Optometrists call themselves doctors. They are certainly not MD's. I claim to have a PHD in the Cuningulist arts, (and many females would agree) but I also know I am full of myself.
