HIT THE ROAD JACK, NAKED TRUTH, SPECK’S NOT SPEAKING
Ex says singer made her pregnant
Actor-singer Nattapon “Jack” Aiamwasan is defending his conduct after his former girlfriend accused him of refusing to take responsibility for their newborn child.
Jack found his personal life on parade last week after his ex-girlfriend, and mother to his child, accused him of being a vagrant dad.
In a social media post, the young woman, identified as Nong BM, said Jack made her pregnant, but refused to admit the child was his and dared her to take a DNA test.
Despite initially promising to help with her childbirth costs, Jack refused to front up.
Worse, he started seeing another woman while she was pregnant, who refused to give Jack back even when she found out he was an expecting dad.
Nong BM said when she learned she was pregnant, she and Jack decided they would try to keep the child. “He agreed to accept responsibility,” she wrote.
“My parents invited Jack’s mum for a chat to see what they wanted. On the day we arranged to meet they failed to turn up.
“They were scared my family would beat them up … they thought negatively about my family from the start. My mum made a new time to meet them at an eatery. Jack’s mother gave us 30,000 baht by way of an apology, and vowed they would take the best care of the child.”
The pair moved into a rented place in Lat Phrao, though Jack was seldom there. A singer in his spare time, he would come back late, and rarely talk. “Sometimes, he didn’t come back at all. On those nights he was staying with Nong Bow,” she said, referring to his new love.
Jack admitted seeing the girl, but said she would have to get used to it.
As she came to term, Nong BM told Jack a doctor had suggested she have an operation to assist the birth. Jack’s family told her they would not pay, leaving her with no choice but to find the money herself.
“I gave birth on May 22. He didn’t come to see the child. Even after I left hospital, he still didn’t come, even though he was living close by. I can’t understand how he could be so cruel to his own child,” she wrote.
Jack, who has a different story, has urged the public not to leap to judgement. He said Nong BM’s family urged him to have the child aborted, but his family insisted the birth go ahead.
He said he went to see the child on May 28, before she left Nonthawet hospital.
“Her mother didn’t want me to see the child, so I had to go without telling anyone. I didn’t go up to the room, as I hate her,” he said, referring to Nong BM.
When she was six weeks pregnant, his family had given her a gold bracelet for the child, and 100,000 baht in cash. Nong BM’s mother would not accept his apology, and her elder brother grabbed him by the throat.
“He told me that after she gives birth I should take the child, and never bother his sister again,” he said.
Jack wanted her to have the child at Kluay Nam Thai Hospital under the 30-baht scheme, though he would pay for a private room.
“She wanted to have it at Nonthavej Hospital in Nonthaburi, but I don’t have that much money,” he said.
“After she gave birth I presented my ID card to confirm it was my child. On May 31, she and her parents took the child to Pathum Thani, and released the story onto social media.
“I don’t know what their motives are,” he said.
On the internet, Jack gets little sympathy. Critics point to his early remarks on social media, when he denied being the dad, asked for a DNA test, and accused her of seeing someone else.
“Little wonder her family wanted an abortion, as you were unwilling to accept responsibility. All your concerns about money. Never once do you say you want to be a dad or love the child,” one wrote.
Equipped to quip
Former TV presenter Greg “Utt” Uttsada Panichkul says he is surprised by popular reaction to a picture in which he poses virtually naked.
Fame magazine photographer Amat “Yai” Nimitpark took the image, in which Greg appears splay-legged, with his singlet yanked halfway up his body. He is naked below the waist, but is cupping his hands over his private parts. (Instagrammers have since manipulated the image, as you can see.) Greg, who looks surprisingly good for his 40 years, says the picture has gone viral. “I never thought the hot weather would play a part in my picture going hot on social media as well,” he quipped. “It was taken for a charity fund-raising venture in which other celebrities also appear.”
Earlier, Greg posted on Instagram pictures of himself exercising with his dog. In one image accompanying the set, fans get a large side-on view of his private parts, though this time Greg is wearing underwear. The dog appears below, almost as an after-thought.
“Is Greg exercising his dog, or does he really want us to see something else?” fans asked.
Greg, who might be suffering from a temporary attack of modesty, has since taken the pictures down.
Getting his gear off?
Young actor “Speck” Phisitphong is dodging questions about a leaked clip in which a young man of his likeness peels off his underwear to go stark naked.
Speck, who rose to overnight fame playing a schoolboy in the Channel 3 soap Sut Kaen Saen Rak, was put on the spot last week by reporters. “What shall I say about that?” he ummed and ahhed, until his manager jumped in and put an end to the questions.
“His industry bosses have sent word they don’t want us to talk about that,” his manager said crisply, much to Speck’s relief, who suggested he talk about his fledgling acting career instead.
Still shots from the clip were censored in mainstream media, but made it in their full glory on to gay web boards.
They show a young man bearing Speck’s likeness taking off his white underwear to fondle his private parts.
The young man appears as bold as brass, though Speck — assuming it was him — would rather not talk about those embarrassing images now.
“I have a new lakorn coming out at the end of the year,” he volunteered.
“Acting is hard,” he added, admitting he is still struggling to make it look real. “We have to do many takes. I have to know how to adapt. It’s something you really have to enjoy doing.
