Tony Jaa Issues An Official Statement After Sahamongkol Drops Its Case
Dear Members of the Press and Public,
As you are aware, there have been misunderstandings between Sahamongkol Film International Co., Ltd. (Sahamongkol Film) and I in relation to my Employment Agreement executed in 2003 which led to the filing of a number of court cases. Needless to say, all of the events in the past have troubled myself, Sahamongkol Film, Mr. Somsak Techaratanaprasert (Sia Jiang), and other persons close to us.
With the assistance of all of the relevant parties, Sahamongkol Film and I were able to settle our differences. We have therefore decided to end all legal actions against one another.
I regret any inconvenience caused to the public and wish to thank the Press and the general public for having followed developments involving me and for having given me support and encouraged me to continue to branch out in acting and in the field of martial arts in order to showcase “Thainess” on the world stage through Hollywood and International films and hopefully to continue to bring pride to the Thai people.
I regret that my relationship with Sia Jiang deteriorated and despite our disagreement would not have wished to cause offence to Sia Jiang and Sahamongkol Film. I will always appreciate Sia Jiang and Sahamongkol Film giving me the opportunity to follow my dreams and pursue my acting career.
While I now follow my own path, I wish Sia Jiang and Sahamongkol continued success in their pursuits.
Respectfully yours,
Japanom Yeerum (Tony Jaa)
