'Banharn's mistress' rumour leads to legal complaint

[WitawatWatawit]

Looks like an innocent picture to me. The paparazzi and scum reporters are kind of sickening sometimes.

Read the story again.

I don't believe this - the slippery eel has definitely not slipped her his eel!

On second thought, maybe she should have joined the photographer as a co-defendant.

Scum, the most over used word on thaivisa.

The Hub of scum!

There is always a problem when an older man sitting too close or having his arm on or behind a young girl. What are all those people thinking? Older guys can't have young girls as friends? If anyone have negative thought in anything it will becomes negative.

[Thai at Heart]

You said it yourself. We have no idea whether it's true or not but yet the tabloids are on it due to a SINGLE innocent looking picture. And yet we still wonder about the defamation laws here.

I'm pretty sure Barnharn has a mistress or even mistresses. Sad to say, it's the Thai way. However, I think it's pretty unfair to spoil a young girl's reputation based on a single rather innocent looking picture. You may not like him or Thai politicians for that matter but using some girl to get at him is pretty nasty.

I don't agree with you at all. We have no idea if its true or not! When one is a celebrity there are always scandals, gossip, and rumours that you have to deal with. It is part of being a public figure. If you can't take the heat then don't jump into the fire. It is very common for Thai girls to have affairs with rich, older, and prestigious men. It is also common for rich, old, and prestigious Thai men to have affairs with younger Thai girls. True or not this is news for the tabloids not the main story on the morning news and a circus in the local police station!

Well this is hardly a picture of a great grand dad with his great grand daughter is it. 81 year old bloke hang out in Thailand with young girls for the conversation all the time huh?

Yeah. 80 year olds hang out with 20 year olds all the time.

This thread is useless without some skin. So are the accusations.

[CelticBhoy]

Should be a snap of her with the other six dwarves published.

This is really not news-worthy, every Thai has one or two "gigs", its a status symbol.

I don't question the validity of the story. I question Thai law, Thai police, and this celebrity on how they handle stupid gossip and rumours. You don't see celebrities in North America running to the police whenever a tabloid writes an story about them. Nor do you see the police wasting valuable time on this crap.

If it is appropriate to the issue under discussion why not use it ?

[drdoom6996]

They both got a headline in the newspaper and on the television. Isn't that what it's all about?

[Artisi]

And does anyone really care, other than a newspaper editor trying to push up sales or was he trying to fill a gap in the paper with oh-so important tripe? Which ever way, what a lot of BS.

[Chris Lawrence]

Looks like the picture was taken a few seconds too early

Yeah looks like ready set go. Old bloke looks as though he is about to have the canary swallowed............

[Sydebolle]

That's what I call "Old Fart's wish".

[tominbkk]

In the second pic looks like she's getting ready to eat some banana!

Yeah yeah, old goats like green leaves too. Hand on her ass. Completely innocent, man.

You miss the point her totally.

It is not using some young girl to get at him; it is using some old man to get at her that is pretty nasty.

envying some old man because he has "access" to a pretty young girl is nasty too

[tonneke breda]

Another one bites the dust, or.......

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Let's see... She's 21, and wiki says he's about 81.... so 60 year age difference between the two...

Sounds just about right for a ThaiVisa May-December romance...

[boomerangutang]

The Beatles told us "money can't buy me love." ....but it can buy a semblance thereof.

But really folks, Thailand is crumbling like a sand castle in the surf of imbecility, and we get gossip as front page news.

That gives me something to look forward to.

Are you a senile whiskey-guzzling mafia head? You don't have to answer that.
