The mother of Siranudh “Psi” Scott, the 29-year-old scion whose childhood abuse accusations against his brother triggered public sympathy and revealed a rupture inside one of Thailand’s richest families, on Friday dropped her “ungrateful child’’ lawsuit against her younger son as she appealed for space to “heal’’ her family.

Chiranuj Bhirombhakdi filed a lawsuit in February against Psi under a 1908 law that enforces filial duty, in a country where family ties border on the sacrosanct.

Psi, a marine conservationist with a large social media following, stunned the public in May after going public with sexual abuse allegations against his older brother Sunit.

His allegations sparked a crisis in the Bhirombhakdi family, who own Singha beer through the Boon Rawd Brewery Group.

Sunit has strenuously denied the allegations. Nonetheless, the family firm removed him from his executive roles soon after the allegations became public.

In a statement shared with local media on Friday, Chiranuj said she had withdrawn her lawsuit against Psi after court mediation.
