While the MeToo movement goes on in India, three annonymous women have accused Vairamuthu, a popular lyricist in Tamil Cinema, of sexual harassment, while another woman accused veteran actor Radha Ravi.
Two female singers spoke of their instances where they were invited to Vairamuthu’s house-cum-office. Both were 18 years old when they were harassed by him. While one of the women said that he hugged and kissed her, the other shared that he closed the room and touched her.
The victims came out through journalist Sandhya Menon, who tweeted on their behalf.

One of the singers also said that she has not told her husband, as he might stop her for continuing her career.
Singer Chinmayi has tweeted another write up on behalf of a third accuser. The victim spoke about the Vairamuthu hostel, where the lyricist has “gone to various extents” with the girls there.

On the other hand, an employee from Behindwoods, has tweeted an anonymous message from a victim who was harassed by Radha Ravi. The actor allegedly hugged and kissed her, and told her to meet him alone after finishing her work.
So after the #Vairamuthu accusation, here is an accusation about the most respected #RadhaRavi. @Chinmayi, @varusarath, I hope this again is a well known secret in the industry as well. pic.twitter.com/KFcKLftVd0
