The show is infamous for its fraud.{{cite web|url=http://www.manager.co.th/Entertainment/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9550000075173|script-title=th:แฉ!

The other judge, who is the only female, voted 'no', stating that "How can this be taken as an art? Anyone can do it. It is a kind of boldness, not a talent."{{cite web|url=http://www.thairath.co.th/content/newspaper/269384|script-title=th:เปลือยอกโชว์ทีวี 'นม'วาดรูป กรี๊ดก็อตทาเลนต์|trans-title= 'Painting with boobs' on TV: Thailand's Disgusting Talent|publisher=Thai Rath|language=Thai|date=June 19, 2012|accessdate=June 19, 2012}}

Thai minister of culture, Sukumol Kunplome condemned the act, declaring she was "shocked" seeing the clip, given the high numbers of spectators and the fact that it was televised at a time when children were likely to watch. She criticised that the show was broadcast inedited even though it was a recording and not live.{{Citation |title=Breast painting shocks minister |newspaper=Bangkok Post |date=18 June 2012 |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/lite/topstories/298572/minister-shocked-by-breast-painting}}

On June 18, 2012, the day after the show was broadcast, Workpoint executives were summoned by the Thai Government to give explanation why 'inappropriate' content was allowed when it could be edited.{{citation needed|date=December 2019}} While TV3 faced an examination before the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).{{cite web|url=http://www.thairath.co.th/content/ent/269549|script-title=th:กสทช.เรียกช่อง3แจง 'ไทยแลนด์ก็อตทาเลนต์' เพื่อออกคำสั่งทางปกครอง|trans-title= NBTC to examine TV3 on 'TGT' case and to deliver an administrative order|publisher=Thai Rath|language=Thai|date=June 19, 2012|accessdate=June 19, 2012}} The NBTC later issued an administrative act (Verwaltungsakt) imposing a fine of 500,000 baht on TV3 on account of indecency, and ordered the competent authorities to bring both civil and criminal cases against it.{{cite web|url=http://www.manager.co.th/Home/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9550000075886|script-title=th:กสทช.ปรับช่อง 3 ครึ่งล้าน ฐานแพร่ภาพโชว์เต้า-โยน ตร.เอาผิดอาญา/แพ่ง|trans-title=NBTC inflicts 500 thousand baht fine on TV3 for airing bare-breast, and orders police to institute civil and criminal cases|publisher=Manager|language=Thai|date=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 20, 2012}}{{cite web|url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/BEC-fined-Bt500000-for-airing-bare-breast-Thailand-30184562.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120623062938/http://www.nationmultimedia.com/breakingnews/BEC-fined-Bt500000-for-airing-bare-breast-Thailand-30184562.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 23, 2012|title=BEC fined Bt500,000 for airing bare-breast Thailand's Got Talent|publisher=The Nation|date=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 20, 2012}}

National Artist Chalermchai Kositpipat also commented that the work the woman produced was of no artistic value, saying that "She merely copied the outermost shell of the foreign arts, without realising their substance. What she has done was a display of body, not the presentation of [artistic] integrity."{{cite web|url=http://www.popcornfor2.com/content/อ-เฉลิมชัย-ชี้ใช้นมวาดรูป-แค่เปลือกของศิลปะฝรั่ง-news-4908|script-title=th:อ.เฉลิมชัย ชี้ใช้นมวาดรูป แค่เปลือกของศิลปะฝรั่ง|trans-title=Prof Chalermchai pointed out: The case of painting a picture with boos is a mere shell of foreign arts|publisher=Popcorn|language=Thai|date=June 19, 2012|accessdate=June 19, 2012}}

On June 19, the press stated its findings that the woman is a nude model and was hired for mere ten thousand baht to do so on the show so as to attract ratings.{{cite web|url=http://www.manager.co.th/Entertainment/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9550000075768|title=เปิดภาพอ้าง "ปอนด์ TGT" เต้นเปลื้องผ้าในผับ |trans-title=Reveal pictures of 'Pond TGT', completely nude, dancing in a pub|publisher=Manager|language=Thai|date=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 20, 2012}} The next day, the woman's parents admitted that their daughter was hired, and pleaded with the public for pity, remarking that they are now detested by the locals even their youngest daughter (the woman's younger sister) was "openly regarded as dirty by her teachers and friends at school".{{cite web|url=http://www.manager.co.th/Local/ViewNews.aspx?NewsID=9550000075774|script-title=th:"ครอบครัวน้องปอนด์" สาวโชว์เต้ากระทบหนัก ชุมชน-ครูรังเกียจ-รุมประณามผู้จัด |trans-title=Family of 'Pond', boob-showing woman, is seriously affected, being hated by community and teachers - the organisers are also heavily reprobated |publisher=Manager|language=Thai|date=June 20, 2012|accessdate=June 20, 2012}}

Also questionable is another 32-year-old woman, Warunee Suwannarak ({{langx|th|วารุณี สุวรรณรักษ์}}; {{RTGS|Waruni Suwannarak}}), who appeared on the show and sang 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up" with a convincing accent of a native speaker of English, contrary to the story she previously told that she merely completed elementary education and is living an impoverished life as a manual labourer. The story itself was also contrary to the pictures she shared on the internet, showing her working as a local singer and her visits to many countries. This caused extensive criticism on the internet, which cast doubt on her 'pitiful' story...a story which was apparently created by the organisers for the purpose of drawing public attention. The woman later admitted that she married a foreigner, but still insisted that her story is true.{{cite web|url=http://musicstation.kapook.com/view42030.html|script-title=th:กิ๊ก วารุณี ยอมรับมีสามีต่างชาติ - เคยเที่ยวยุโรปจริง |trans-title=Kik Waruni admits: I married a foreigner and has been to European countries.|publisher=Kapook|language=Thai|date=June 12, 2012|accessdate=June 19, 2012}}
