Bangkok: Film Ratthaphum and DJ Man reach an understanding after a lengthy court mediation, agreeing to withdraw a defamation lawsuit, while a separate case remains ongoing at the Crime Suppression Division. Today at the Criminal Court on Ratchadaphisek Road, Mr. Ratthaphum Tokongsub, known as Film, and Mr. Phatthanapol Kunchar, known as DJ Man, engaged in nearly three hours of negotiation concerning a defamation charge.
According to Thai News Agency, Film had accused DJ Man of defamation by advertising over allegations of demanding 14 million baht to assist with the Forex-3D case. Post-negotiation, Film expressed his willingness to forgive, emphasizing that the lawsuit was not intended to harm and reiterating his innocence. The specific terms of their agreement remain undisclosed due to court confidentiality, but Film emphasized that the resolution was based on forgiveness and long-standing familial bonds.
Following the mediation, Film announced plans to withdraw his lawsuit against DJ Man. However, a separate complaint filed by DJ Man at the Crime Suppression Division persists. DJ Man mentioned that while the defamation charge is resolved, the Crime Suppression Division case continues, supported by his prior statements and evidence submissions.
DJ Man's lawyer confirmed that both parties reached a mutual understanding, leading to apologies and the decision to withdraw the lawsuit. The lawyer refrained from sharing detailed discussions from the mediation, citing respect for the court process. The lawyer stressed the importance of using the phrase "reached an understanding" to avoid further implications for Film Ratthaphum.
