Bangkok: Noon Woranuch and her husband, Todd Piti, appeared at Taling Chan Criminal Court for a mediation session with Ajarn Oui after their names were misused, affecting their family. They emphasized that they are waiting for the other party to take responsibility.
According to Thai News Agency, at 10:00 AM today, the famous actress and her husband arrived at the court after filing a defamation lawsuit against A. Uiy, or Chanittha Sattiya, for allegedly misusing their names and making derogatory remarks about their family. Today marked the first scheduled mediation session for both parties.
Before entering the courtroom, Attorney Kaew, representing Noon and Todd, stated that it was the initial meeting arranged by the court for both parties to engage in discussions. Noon and Todd have not set specific goals or conditions for resolving the matter, as their primary intention is to hear the defendant's proposed conditions and compensation to inform their decision-making.
Todd Piti noted that their court appearance was to facilitate a discussion between the plaintiff and defendant, expressing readiness to negotiate a settlement. He emphasized the importance of hearing the defendant's side first. Noon Woranuch expressed her desire to see how responsible the defendants are and what offers they will make during mediation.
Attorney Kaew disclosed that the defendant had previously apologized informally via a private message to Noon, which did not prevent legal action due to the extensive damage caused to her family. Todd Piti expressed concern over the seriousness of the incident, stating that the damage was widespread and unjustly affected his family. Noon Woranuch highlighted her distress over the destruction of her reputation, which she has built over many years in the industry.
According to lawyer Kaew, both parties are suing for 10 million baht each in damages, totaling 20 million baht. If mediation fails, Noon Woranuch is prepared to proceed with the preliminary hearing and testify. Both Noon and Todd hope for an amicable resolution, contingent on the defendants' attitude and responsibility.
