Samantha Akkineni has also extended her support for #Metoo. We have already reported that recently Chinmayi Sripada revealed that she was s*xually harassed when she was just 8 years old. (Also read: http://twlive.mediology.in/chinmayi-i-was-s*xually-harassed-at-8/) Yesterday Chinmayi shared the screenshots of whattsapp on Twitter and captioned it, “I cannot stop shaking. My Friend will remain anonymous. @vairamuthu Why people cannot share at the risk of their careers. And bloody hell #MeToo. Samantha replied to Chinmayi, “Thankyou for being so strong.” Finally Chinmayi forced Samantha to extend the support for #Metoo.
Today morning Samantha wrote on the wall of Twitter, “I am so happy that more and more women are finding the strength to say #MeToo . Your bravery is commendable . I am sorry though that some people ,even other women themselves will shame and burden you with the question of proof and doubt. Just know that you are saving many little girls with your voice . Thankyou . I support the #MeTooIndia movement.”
Senior lyricist Vairamuthu, who has penned several songs in Tamil, has been accused of s*xually harassing the women. Two women have already come forward and revealed that they were groped and molested by Vairamuthu. Journalist Sandhya Menon was the first who made allegation against the lyricist Vairamuthu and later Chinmayi Sripada.
Not only Samantha Akkineni, but Varalaxmi Sarathkumar have also come in support of the #MeToo movement.
