Another day, another name trending for all the wrong reasons. Shell Thakrit Chaiwut, known for his role as Prom in the Thai BL series Playboyy, has just been booted from his agency Copy A Bangkok after a whirlwind of accusations hit social media over the weekend.
The controversy? Allegations of dating seven women at the same time, emotionally manipulating them, borrowing money under false pretences, and even one claim of a secret pregnancy he allegedly tried to hush up with a 10,000 baht transfer.
Let’s break it down...
💥 The Scandal That Set It All Off

It started with a public Facebook post—one of those tell-all threads that seem to spread faster than wildfire in the Thai online space. The post accused Shell of juggling multiple women, faking relationships, and then vanishing once he got what he wanted.
But it didn’t stop there. Receipts started pouring in: LINE chat screenshots, bank transfers, and even a faint positive pregnancy test. According to one woman, Shell allegedly said he’d help her out with a pregnancy clinic visit—only to ghost her completely after she transferred him 10,000 baht.
His message at the time?
“If I had the money, I’d help you. But it’s okay. I understand.”
And once he got the cash? Silence.

The situation snowballed fast online, with multiple hashtags popping up across platforms. Among the trending ones:
-
#เชลธกฤต (#ShellScandal)
Netizens shared similar stories: Shell Thakrit would slide into their DMs, promise exclusivity, ask for help with “business ideas” or debt, and then dip the moment they asked for answers.
In one of the more detailed accounts, a woman claimed she even helped him prepare real estate paperwork because he promised she’d be “rewarded” when the business took off.
Spoiler: it didn’t.

It didn’t take long for Shell’s agency, Copy A Bangkok, to step in. In an official announcement, they confirmed that Shell’s contract had been terminated immediately following the controversy.
It was a rare case where both parties reportedly “agreed” to part ways—but let’s be honest, it doesn’t sound like he had much of a choice.

🤷♀️ Wait, Who Is Shell Anyway?
Perhaps the most viral response to the scandal was... confusion. Under tweets and articles, hundreds of people asked the same thing:
“Shell Thakrit, who?”
“I didn’t even know he was in Playboyy.”
To answer that: Shell Thakrit is a 1997-born Thai actor and model who’s built a niche following in the indie BL and short-form content world. While not a major name internationally, he’s had roles in Playboyy and a few small web dramas, plus some fashion brand campaigns.
Some platforms credit him with minor roles, mostly in the romance and Boys’ Love space. He had a growing fanbase thanks to his approachable vibe and active fan interactions—until this week, that is.
🤯 Why This Isn’t Just a "Breakup Drama"
This whole saga isn't just messy—it’s also part of a bigger conversation around the Thai BL industry and the way some actors allegedly exploit their image.
Fans are starting to ask:
-
Where’s the line between “fan service” and emotional manipulation?
-
Why are agencies only reacting after scandals go viral?
-
Should actors with public influence be held to stricter standards?
Because this isn’t just one bad date—it’s a pattern of alleged deception, emotional abuse, and financial exploitation.
As of now, Shell Thakrit hasn’t publicly responded, and there’s no formal legal action announced. But his career, especially in the fan-focused BL sphere, may already be beyond saving.
Whether you're a long-time fan or someone who just Googled “Who is Shell Thakrit?”, this drama’s become a lightning rod for conversations on trust, power, and accountability in entertainment.
And maybe, just maybe, the Thai industry will start taking these “personal” matters a little more seriously.
