The Me Too movement gained prominence in India in 2018 and has ever since been championed by Chinmayi in South India after she made sexual misconduct allegations against famed lyricist and Tamil scholar Vairamuthu.

Chinmayi has questioned prominent journalist Rangaraj Pandey's move to release the video of Vairamuthu's Thamizhaatru Padai. She has posted "When journalists as influential as Mr. Pandey couldn't grill, intimidate or even ask a few questions of Mr. Vairamuthu. This is how the Boy’s club works. Drive the girls to death but celebrate molesters. Nalla tamizh paNpaadu."

It may be recalled that Chinmayi took strong exception to the manner in which Pandey posed questions to her in his talk show when the Vairamuthu controversy erupted.
