Postnatal angst, just a quickie, tattoo you

Vic opens fire on Prae

Vic, Prae
Taiwanese superstar Vic Chou is preparing to sue a Thai woman who claimed they entered a furtive five-year relationship which ended with her getting pregnant after he allegedly forced himself upon her.

The woman, 28, who identifies herself as "Prae", or Pear, went before the Thai media last week to air her explosive claims, after earlier talking to Chinese media outlets and getting nowhere. Prae said she wants actor and singer Vic to own up to their relationship and apologise.

Vic, formerly of the boy band F4, last November married his girlfriend of four years, actress Reen Yu, which prompted Prae's first angry approach to the media. Her latest claims go much further.

His manager told the Apple Daily newspaper in Taiwan on Friday that Prae's claims went too far. After earlier describing their encounter as a one-night stand, she was now claiming they entered a long-term relationship. He would instruct lawyers to take legal action.

Prae said she was angered by the news that Vic was getting married, as she was two months pregnant with Vic's child at the time. She later sought an abortion after Vic refused to discuss the matter.

Prae, who brought before reporters a few excerpts from an online chat application as "proof" of their relationship, admits critics may have a hard time believing her tale, as the two saw each other furtively in hotel rooms.

She is unable to provide pictures or clips of them together, though says he gave her a ring as a birthday gift, which she showed off to the cameras.

She says the two met through mutual friends, and saw each other for the last time last June when he came to Samui to shoot a film. "He would call for me and ask me to meet him," she said. Prae claims they started having sex at the end of 2011, and slept together on various occasions in Taiwan, mainland China, Hong Kong and Thailand.

She insists Vic came on to her, rather than the other way around, and forced himself upon her the first time she went to see him in his bedroom.

Asked why she carried on seeing him if force was really involved, she said he had had his way by then, so she thought nothing of it.

Asked why she didn't want to keep the child to serve as proof the child was his, Prae said she wasn't demanding anything from him other than an apology.

"I was under heavy pressure when I was pregnant and decided to have the abortion as it all rushed in on me so fast."

She kept the news of her pregnancy a secret at first, even from her mother. When she eventually told Vic, he urged her to wait until the next time they met. In November, when he again refused to acknowledge the child was his, she told Vic she hated him.

Prae has some defiant words for those who doubt her claims.

"As for those who say I have made it all up, they talk as if they know me. I feel utterly indifferent, and barely bother to read the news. They don't know a thing, so why should I be interested?" she said.

"I am told through friends that Vic wants to apologise, but his handlers forbid contact."
Responding to the news, netizens say the evidence Prae presents fails to back her remarkable claims.

"If you're going to go public to this extent, you should at least have a clip from a video call, FaceTime, or pictures you have taken together. If it's true, I can but feel jealous; however, if you have made it up, you have trampled on the reputation of the whole country," one wrote.

Peter's flying visit home

Ploy
Absentee husband and errant father Peter Corp Dyrendal paid a fleeting visit to the family home earlier this month, but didn't speak to his wife, who was upstairs bathing one of the couple's two young children.

His wife, Ployphan "Ploy" Taveerat, said the actor and singer, who left home in the middle of last year and hasn't spoken to her since, turned up unannounced, chatted briefly to the nanny, and greeted the couple's other son, Puma, who was one month old when he left home.

"I was on the top floor bathing [the older child] Panda. We have five floors, and he was on the first floor. He asked the nanny where I was, played with Puma briefly, attended to some personal business, then left," she said.

Ploy, who is raising the children virtually alone, said she was not disappointed to have missed her husband.

"If he had intended to come back to talk, he would have talked. But I doubt he was ready," she said.

Ploy takes heart from the fact he appeared, if only briefly, as it shows he still loves the kids. She said he was being influenced by a bad group of friends.

Peter left home supposedly to make a "big bike" road show in the provinces. He has not been in touch since, despite telling the media in November he would contact his spouse about the future of their relationship.

Ploy, an air hostess, said she wants to take the children overseas, but for that will need Peter's signature on some papers. "If he could arrange that, I would be delighted," she said.
Other than that, she was happy to keep their marriage registration document in place for now, as she wasn't looking for anyone else.

Ploy recently made merit at a temple for her errant husband, after hearing he had come across some bad news. "I want to expel his bad luck, and forgive him," she said.

Tangmo's love not just skin deep

Tangmo, Tono
Actress Pattaratida "Tangmo" Patcharaveerapong is taking a laid-back approach to provocation from her members of her ex-boyfriend's fanclub, who want her to erase a tattoo in his name from her body.

Tangmo, once known for her fiery outbursts on social media, says she has nothing but love in her heart these days, and no room for hatred no matter what her critics say.

Tangmo attempted to take her life by overdosing on sleeping pills in July last year after her betrothed, singer and actor Pakin "Tono" Kumvilaisak, declared their relationship was at an end and he was now back in the singles market. 

In headier days the two once staged a mock Christian wedding ceremony, with Tono switching to the Christian religion of his would-be wife, Tangmo.

She and Tono also had tattoos done to bind them closer together. Each carries a tattoo of a swallow just below the rib cage, along with each other's names, to signify that each owns the other.

While Tangmo hasn't stopped pining for her old mate, she says she now places great store in the Lord's love to help get her through life's problems.

Tono, meanwhile, is drawing close to actress Napapa "Pat" Thantrakul, 29, after the pair appeared recently on a TV show. A Tono-Pat fanclub has sprung up in which their fans champion them as the ideal "fantasy couple", and hope they get together as an item.

In a television interview last week, Tangmo spoke about tensions in their relationship leading up to Tono's declaration last year they had broken up.

She said Tono kept part of his phone locked, so she could not get access to it. She suspected he was talking to other women, and realised their love had reached a dead end.

Unimpressed, members of the Tono-Pat fanclub attacked Tangmo on social media, urging her to remove the tattoo which she had emblazoned on her side in happier days with Tono, so he could put Pat's name in its place.

In reply, an unusually subdued Tangmo said she felt no bitterness towards her critics.

"Because the space in my heart is full of love, I have nothing left for hatred. However, I can't help but having a quiet laugh to myself ... what does the tattoo have to do with anything? 
Thais are just so cute. I hope my fanclub doesn't do anything like this, na ... please."

Asked about the tattoos previously, Tono and Tangmo insist they have no regrets, and have no plans to get them removed. Tono: "I love her as much as I do my own life. I am proud that I once loved her."

Tangmo: "I have never felt sad that I was together with him. I feel as proud as can be. If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't have his name tattooed on me."
