Only Monday Singer Addresses Leaked Video Scandal

Theerupong Khamsuri, or "Thee," lead singer of Only Monday, issued another public statement via personal Facebook following the release of a leaked intimate video involving his ex-girlfriend, which caused significant damage to his reputation.

In his statement, Thee addressed multiple points:

1. He acknowledged he should have spoken earlier, but his ex-girlfriend "Bell" had requested he remain silent initially to avoid drawing more attention to the video. He had originally intended to handle matters quietly until they could be verified.

2. Thee spent nearly a week tracking down the person who released the video through a sting operation and initiated legal action against the video seller to trace its origins. When he contacted Bell to update her on progress and invite her to participate in the process, she declined to comment or participate, saying she was still shocked by the incident.

3. He decided to speak now because the situation had become unbearable. Everyone around him—his family, parents, bandmates, and staff—had suffered harassment and backlash from his job engagements. He left his record label to prevent others from being affected by association with him.

4. After leaving the label, he attempted to rebuild his music career independently, but admitted he desperately needs label support, as music is his only skill.

5. He has had to hide and avoid public appearances at concerts and events to prevent damaging other artists' reputations by association.

6. Thee emphatically denied releasing the video, saying he would never jeopardize his own future, his band's future, or others' lives to harm someone.

7. He acknowledged his infidelity during his relationship with Bell, which caused their breakup and for which he felt remorse. However, he argued this was not justification for destroying his life.

8. Regarding the video itself, Thee clarified they had recorded it together as a private couple's activity. After breaking up, they discussed deleting it, and he did not retain a copy. He stated he has no habit of sharing private content and expressed equal shame about the video's circulation.

9. He criticized people for judging him without evidence while the matter remains under investigation, suggesting assumptions of guilt because he is male. He claimed to be a victim as well and said he is doing everything possible to identify and prosecute the responsible party.

10. He concluded by inviting criticism to be directed at him alone.
