Earlier this year, Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee, best known for his roles in Thai series such as ‘Blacklist’, ‘He’s Coming to Me’, and ‘Bad Buddy’, was faced with accusations of having bullied a classmate with a disability in school.
The accusations were first uploaded to Twitter, though the account that uploaded them is now private. Ohm made a public apology through a tweet that can be found below. Last April 25, however, Gossipstar interviewed Ohm about the incident, marking the first time he had publicly spoken about the issue since the apology tweet.

Ohm began the interview with another apology before explaining that the incident occurred when he was in junior high school and that the school made sure to give him an appropriate punishment for his actions. He also explained that once the accusations came out, he sent a private apology to the victim, but did not receive any response. He further explained that at the time, he and his friends took things too far and hurt others. He and his friends also apologized to the affected parties back then as well. This incident, Ohm claimed, is an event that has stuck to his heart, and he is ashamed of his actions to this day. He followed this up by explaining that he believes no one should be bullied and that people must respect each other. Ohm then clarified that he did not know that the classmate he had hurt was someone with a disability and that he never intended to cause them pain. He also stated in the interview that while he regrets his past actions, he knows that the past cannot be changed and will instead focus on being a better person moving forward. He does not expect people to forgive him in an instant and believes that the public uproar after learning about his actions was justified because his actions were harmful. The interview ended with Ohm stating that going forward, he will do his best every day, be remorseful, and strive for self-improvement.
