A high-profile dispute within Thailand’s Bhirombhakdi family, which controls the Singha beer business, is focused on sexual abuse allegations made publicly by one family member against another. Multiple outlets report that Siranudh Scott, known as “Psi,” a fourth-generation heir and environmental activist, goes public with claims that his older brother, Sunit, sexually abused him when he was a child and teenager. The allegations are described as involving abuse between the ages of nine and 13, with some reports stating the incidents began around age 12.
After the claims were shared on social media in recent days and drew wide attention, the business associated with the family responded by removing or dismissing Scott from a role in the Singha-related company, citing the controversy. Channel NewsAsia and other outlets report the dismissal as being announced by the firm.
Several reports also describe Scott and his account as part of a broader, rare public reckoning in Thailand, prompting other abuse survivors to share experiences. Other outlets additionally report allegations about the family’s response to Scott’s claims, including claims that support was lacking, though the accounts are not independently verified in the reports.
