Rita’s press conference on her SISTER’s death
September, 11 2008
Oh my goodness! They shouldn’t have done this! Clearly, Rita is still in state of shock and grieve, but she was probably forced to give a press conference about her sister’s death.
She was unsuccessfully holding back tears throughout the press conference and trying to conceal has much information as possible.
“It’s like a nightmare I never wanted to happen, � she told the press.
Rita doesn’t know why her sister committed suicide and she has not seen or read her sister’s suicide letter. She just received the news yesterday while on location for a lakorn and still coming to terms with it.
Disgustingly, one intrusive reporter asked, “Were you close to your sister?�
Rita replied, “She is my sister�
“But how close?� the intrusive reporter continued to probe, hoping for a salacious story about two rivaling sisters.
And Rita repeats, “SHE IS MY SISTER!�
The reporter did have a right to asked that question but I felt this whole press conference was inappropriate. Her answers were scripted and lacking detail, which they should be. Rita didn’t want to share this moment in her life, she wanted privacy. But because she is star, she was forced to give a press conference.
If you understand Thai, you can watch the press conference at Manager News.
My goodness, my heart goes out to Rita Jensen who is going through a death in the family. Her half-sister, Pimon Pansiribanjong, committed suicide by hanging at a clinic in Nong Khaem. Rita received the news while filming a lakorn in Saraburi and immediately canceled all her events for the day and left to pick up her sister’s body.
Rita’s sister, Pimon, used white bed sheets and hung herself from a steel rim in the bathroom. She was 18 years old and she left one suicide note. The suicide occurred on the evening of September 9th, Thailand time.
In a few hours, Rita will hold a press conference to give details about her sister’s death.
And right now, I’m researching to give you more info on the situation.
UPDATE:
Found some more information about the suicide.
-Rita’s mother found the body.
-The sister is not sick, Rita’s family owns the clinic. After Rita’s mother, Seerat Siribanjong, divorced her Danish father, she returned to Thailand and remarried. The couple opened a clinic in Petkasem Rd in the district of Nong Khaem and had Pimon, Rita’s half-sister.
On the day of the suicide, her sister was home alone while her mother left, for the weekend, to visit her mango orchard in the province of Nakhon Pathom. She left on September 5th, a Friday, and probably returned on Monday to discover her daughter dead in the bathroom. Pimon, Rita’s sister, had been dead for 2 days.
Pimon left a suicide note, complaining about her life and her problems with her family. Pimon was a type of person who kept to herself and was very depressed. Investigators are still unsure why she killed herself. They plan to interrogate her close friends to learn more.
