Controversy
On September 2, 2005 McIntosh made front-page news in Thailand with an announcement that she was five months pregnant. This comes after repeated, and much publicised, previous denials.
It is believed by many that the controversy and negative attentions towards her were much attributed to the public perception that she had lied about her condition, rather than out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Her friends and family publicly berated the media because of their negative speculation of her ever expanding waistline when in September, 2005 her official pregnancy announcement was made. McIntosh maintained that she was previously unaware of her pregnancy of five months. The public reacted with disbelief. It also caused a rift between her and her cohost and close friend, who had berated the media in McIntosh's defence.
The cohost has been a longtime friend of the actress and had been by Kathaleeya's side as a host of Samakhom Chomdao since 1995. Surivipa Kultangwattana was unaware of Kathaleeya's conditions, and sincerely berated the media from her honest love and care for a friend. Surivipa, or NuMam was publicly banned for months after speaking rudely to reporters, but as soon as Surivipa found out about the announcement she was furious. She couldn't believe that her long-time friend would not have the heart to tell her in the hours prior to the public announcements. She, just like the others, found out from the news report. She then later calmed down and apologised to the media and reporters for her rude comments and confirmed that she was truly innocent.
Kathaleeya McIntosh has now come back to Thailand during March, 2006 and has kept herself hidden for two weeks. She declared to the news reporters that she was sorry for not telling about her baby, still reporters have many questions since Kataleeya has barely answered any questions.
In May 2006 she got married in Pranburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan to Songkran (aka Beebee) Grachangnetara, the father of her son.
