In the last two days, we brought to you the story of how singer Chinmayi Sripaada tweeted stories of women claiming to be sexually assaulted by lyricist Vairamuthu and then later opened up about her own experience of harassment with him. She had also named an organizer named Suresh from Switzerland in one of her inappropriate incidents, whom she believed was an accomplice for Vairamuthu.
Now, post the allegations getting media attention, Suresh has given his statement to a Tamil TV channel claiming Vairamuthu to be of 'Everest' stature and warning Chinmayi for her allegations. Suresh, the organiser of Veezhamattom, an album launch organised by Sri Lankan Tamils in Switzerland said,
"The concert took place on a Sunday. After the concert ended, Vairamuthu went to his hotel. Chinmayi and her mother came with us to our house. While Vairamuthu left on Monday, Chinmayi and her mother left a week later.. the Tamil community is very angry and we request her to stop the false accusations."
Chinmayi who has been prompt so far in following through, went ahead replying to this statement as well and said:
She has also tweeted about one more allegation against Vairamuthu while aggressively batting for MeToo and TimesUp movements. Meanwhile, Kollywood names like Ghibran, Meyaadha Maan director Rathna Kumar, director C.S. Amudhan and some others have joined Samantha and Siddharth to show solidarity for Chinmayi.
It is worth mentioning here that Vairamuthu has so far acknowledged all allegations only through a tweet, where he has chosen to not respond to any of the accusations.
