Former Staff File Complaints Against Popular Thai Influencer
Four former employees have filed formal complaints with the Crime Suppression Division against a prominent Thai influencer with over 10 million followers, alleging physical abuse, sexual harassment, and intimidation.
On August 11, 2026, Ekkapop Luangprasert, founder of the 'Saimai Tong Rod' page, accompanied four former staff members to the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) in Bangkok to file formal complaints against a well-known influencer and streamer. The influencer, who boasts a following of over 10 million, is accused of physical assault, sexual harassment, and workplace intimidation.
According to reports from Khaosod Online, the legal action follows a recent appearance on the television program 'Hone-Krasae,' where the allegations were brought to public attention. Ekkapop stated that the CSD is currently processing the initial four complainants, with additional victims expected to come forward. Authorities are also investigating reports regarding the influencer’s employment of minors, which will require further verification of the facts.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this case highlights ongoing discussions regarding workplace conduct and the regulation of digital content creators. While the influencer has not yet publicly addressed the specific criminal charges, the investigation is in its early stages. It remains to be confirmed whether the alleged incidents fall within the statute of limitations, as some complainants noted that the events occurred some time ago. The CSD is currently gathering witness testimony to determine the scope of the alleged misconduct.
