After the MeToo movement in the year 2018, many shocking cases were reported from the entertainment industry. Now South Industry actor and music composer Vinayakan has given a controversial statement. In a press conference during the promotion of ‘Oruthee’, Vinayakan said that he did not know about the MeToo campaign. If asking a woman for sex is #MeToo, she will continue to do so. Vinayak has already been accused of sexual harassment. He was asked about the same during his interaction with the media. Many people are objecting to this statement of Vinayakan.
What if I want to have sex?
According to reports, during the press conference, Vinayakan said, what is MeToo? I do not know. It all depends on the girl. Tell me, what if I want to have sex with a woman? I have had sex with at least 10 women in my life. I asked 10 of those women if they wanted to have a physical relationship with me. I will keep asking. If you call it MeToo, I will continue to do so. No woman has ever asked me.
Navya said, could not say anything
Actress Navya Nayyar is making a comeback from the film Oruthee. She was also present in the press conference. During her live session, a follower asked why she remained silent when Vinayakan said this. To this she replied that she was not in this situation at that time to express her displeasure.
Vinayakan has been arrested for wrongdoing
Vinayakan has also been arrested in 2019. He was accused by Dalit activist Mridula Devi that Vinayakan asked him to sleep with him. At that time she had gone to give him an invite for an event. Mridula had alleged that he wanted favors from his mother as well. Mridula Devi got a lot of support on social media. After this some other women wrote on social media that Vinayakan has made lewd comments on them too.
