BANGKOK — The controversy involving rising Thai actor Shell Thakrit Chaiyut (เชลล์ ธกฤต ไชยวุฒิ) has intensified, following a wave of allegations aired on national television and the subsequent termination of his acting contract with Copy A Bangkok.
On June 17, 2025, three women appeared anonymously on the talk show โหนกระแส hosted by หนุ่ม กรรชัย. Each recounted similar experiences involving a well-known BL actor—identified only by the initial “ช”—who they claim encouraged unprotected sex, denied responsibility for resulting pregnancies, and emotionally manipulated them under the guise of romantic relationships. One woman alleged that she contracted a serious illness as a result. Another claimed she was offered hush money after becoming pregnant.
Although the actor’s name was not explicitly stated during the broadcast, online speculation quickly centered on Shell Thakrit, who fits the publicly discussed descriptions, including being a rising BL star with a significant social media following.
The controversy was initially sparked by a TikTok video from user @medployyyyy. The post alluded to a male actor with initials “S…T” involved with multiple women simultaneously. The clip gained traction rapidly and was followed by anonymous testimonies and visual materials shared across social platforms.
Later that same day, Shell’s management company Copy A Bangkok issued a public statement confirming that both parties had agreed to terminate his exclusive contract, effective immediately. The agency noted that the decision was made “after ongoing discussions” and cited the need for the actor to independently manage the situation.
“ได้พูดคุยกับ เชลล์ ธกฤต ถึงการจัดการกับปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้น โดยมีข้อสรุปและข้อตกลงร่วมกันว่า ยุติสัญญาการเป็นนักแสดงในสังกัด” — Copy A Bangkok
Additional screenshots have since surfaced, allegedly showing Shell initiating private conversations with fans. One screenshot from July 2022 includes flirtatious language and emojis, suggesting he actively reached out to admirers online. While not independently verified, these images are being widely circulated by netizens under the hashtag #เชลล์ธกฤต.
The case has sparked broader discussion on power dynamics between celebrities and fans in Thailand’s growing BL (Boys’ Love) entertainment sector. Neither Shell Thakrit nor his legal representatives have issued a direct personal statement as of this publication.
The situation continues to evolve, with many in the industry and fan communities awaiting further clarification or legal response.
