Singer Chinmayi Sripaada has been vocal about the film industry and noted personalities platforming men accused of sexual assault time and again. Recently, she took a dig at rapper Vedan for being invited to perform at a high-profile wedding. She even pointed out that singer Karthik has been invited to judge Tamil Idol, despite the allegations against him.
Seems like that’s not the case. Now both are judges on this show. What changed? Did we miss something or are we just expected to forget and move on? When someone else questioned, “Who made allegations against karthik? Chinmayi responded without defending Rahman. “Singer Karthik was the Vairamuthu of singers. Singers across cities. Some women who had nothing to do with the Industry. He didn’t misbehave with me, but I stand in solidarity with all the singers he named and have refused to be in any concerts where he also featured, losing the opportunity to be in some of the most legendary ones. But that’s a hill I am willing to die on,” wrote the singer.
Because of the MeToo allegations, this comes after an X user recently criticised Karthik being invited to judge Tamil Idol, writing, “Wasn’t everyone saying AR Rahman stopped working with Singer Karthik.
