Singer Karthik finally responds to Chinmayi’s Me Too allegations

A few months back when Chinmayi shocked Kollywood by leveling sexual misbehavior allegations on Lyricist Vairamuthu a few women shared their alleged bad experiences with singer Karthik.  Chinmayi had then made an open statement on twitter ”I just wrapped a show with him yesterday where he was co judge. I believe the victim. Karthik, sorry, your #TimesUp”. adding  “The #Metoo campaign is truly an ugly truth vent and I would be doing grave injustice in not calling out singer Karthik. What I actually mean is ‘We’ as I personally know of several others so this is #Ustoo. He has always misused his popularity and sickeningly pursued multiple women(even same day!). This is not restricted to the singer fraternity alone. He does it ‘as a matter of fact’ and has no regret in doing so. Sexting, dirty pictures, videos, groping… what not. I have experienced this myself. Just cos he is popular he had veiled it well. Thus far. Anonymity actually is no big deal in this case as there are so many girls who would gladly say ‘#Metoo’.”

After a long silence, Karthik has finally opened up about the issue stating “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”,
