Chinmayi requests Tamil Nadu CM M K Stalin to take action against lyricist Vairamuthu: ‘More than 17 women have named your friend’

She added, “With almost 5 years of facing a work ban in the Tamil Film Industry and fighting a case with Honble City Civil Court there seems to be no end in sight. I have the strength to fight this considering it may even take another 20 years to get justice in this Country when we lack connections or clout. I filed a complaint with the NCW way back in 2018-2019 because that was the only route available for many of us, and handed a handwritten complaint to police officers that came home to investigate. I have enough circumstantial evidence including phone call records where Vairamuthu arranged a call to arrive at a ‘compromise’. His son Madhan Karky was also informed via text to which he called, responded and agreed he and his family were already aware of his father’s behaviour several years ago. The rules cannot be different for Vairamuthu and Brij Bhushan.”

The singer also compared the issue with the ongoing protests of wrestlers in Delhi. “Our Champion wrestlers and the Country’s pride including a Minor have named Brij Bhushan. 17+ women have named Vairamuthu who has used the proximity to your party and You, to silence me, and others and ruin the careers of women who are talented and had dreams. His talent is not greater than all of us.”

She concluded, “This is happening right under your nose. Please do the needful so that across Tamilnadu workplaces can be safer. I speak as someone who has been ostracised by my industry because people are too scared to speak against the Poet because of his political connections. Please make sure my Industry has ICCs and POCSO Units (since Children are employed in Mass Media and are safe from Child Sexual abuse) in all the Unions – many women AND men continue to face sexual harassment in TV and Film.”

In the comment section of her post, when a user said that if we had voted for Kamal Haasan, such issued would have been addressed immediately, Chinmayi replied, “Hahahahaa Unga Kamal Sir um maedai ethi alangarichaaru. Stalin sir kum Kamal sir kum indha vishayathla endha difference um illa (Your Kamal sir also graced the stage with Vairamuthu (at an event). There’s no difference between Kamal sir and Stalin sir.”

For the past five years, Chinmayi has been constantly accusing Vairamuthi of sexual harassment, and even asked officials concerned to take action against the renowned lyricist.
