Singer Karthik breaks his silence on MeToo Allegations!

When the MeToo campaign found momentum in India last year, singer Chinmayi Sripaada had posted on her twitter handle of an allegation against singer Karthik from a person who did not want to be named. The allegations soon started mounting but the famous singer of the South chose to remain mum on the whole incident.

Now, almost four months later Karthik has issued a statement via his twitter handle where he cites his father's health to be the reason behind his absence from social media and circles and announces that he would not be continuing the next season of Saregama (a show he judges on Zee Tamil) due to the same.

He also addresses the MeToo allegations for the first time and says,

"There have been anonymous allegations and rumors being made against me on Twitter. True to my conscience, I have never ever hurt any human being or harassed anybody ignoring their consent.

I want to put it out there that I have never intentionally acted in a way that would make anybody feel uncomfortable or unsafe. If anybody felt hurt because of any of my actions in the past, please reach to me directly. I do believe in facing the consequences of one's actions.

I fully support MeToo and if there's truth in anybody's grievance, I shall be more than willing to apologize or face legal action because I don't want to ever leave a sour taste in anyone's life”
