Kuala lumpur: Ploychompoo Jannine Parawie Weigel, a singer embroiled in a legal battle with her former agency, has announced plans to appeal after a lower court ruled against her. The case, which began in 2021, stems from a breach of contract claim filed by Ploychompoo against the Malaysian agency that she signed with, hoping for a successful career. However, during her two-year contract, she produced only one piece of music, with her proposals repeatedly rejected for not aligning with the label’s concept.
According to Thai News Agency, Ploychompoo faced restrictions from the label, including a ban on streaming her music on all platforms. The agency denied breaching the contract and sought significant damages from her. Despite the Court of First Instance ruling in her favor on October 10, 2015, recent developments have prompted Ploychompoo to plan an appeal. During a press conference on November 3, 2015, she expressed her disappointment with the ruling and her determination to pursue further legal action, emphasizing her desire to protect her artistic rights.
Ploychompoo highlighted the challenges she has faced throughout the lawsuit, including substantial financial burdens and missed career opportunities. She acknowledged the difficulty of navigating the legal system but remained committed to respecting the court process and pursuing justice. The singer reassured her audience that despite the ongoing appeal, she remains active in her career and passionate about creating new music.
She shared the personal toll the legal battle has taken on her mental health, describing the stress and pressure she has endured. Yet, Ploychompoo remains resolute in her quest to regain her artistic freedom, seeking encouragement from her supporters rather than pity. She expressed gratitude towards those who have stood by her and promised to continue working with dedication and integrity.
In closing, Ploychompoo reaffirmed her commitment to her fans, the media, and industry colleagues who have supported her throughout this challenging period. She vowed to produce work that would make her supporters proud, driven by the same passion and honesty that have defined her career.
