Singha Heir Removed After Brother Publicly Accuses Him of Long‑Running Sexual Abuse

Boonrawd Brewery's action is a rare, public response by a powerful Thai family to serious abuse claims.

Overview

  • Siranudh Scott posted an emotional video on May 9 accusing his elder brother Sunit of repeated sexual abuse during their teenage years.
  • He followed with an audio recording around May 13 that he said captured a confession and that he had played the tape to family members.
  • Boonrawd Brewery said on May 19 that it had dismissed Sunit from all company positions and published a resignation letter attributed to him.
  • Sunit rejects the abuse allegations while acknowledging past bullying and rough play, and there is no public record in reporting of criminal charges or a court verdict.
  • The dispute has thrust the Bhirombhakdi family and the Singha beer empire into intense public scrutiny, the company says it is cooperating with investigators, and the episode could prompt wider questions about how elite Thai families handle internal abuse claims.
