Recently, Radha Ravi spoke ill about Nayanthara and his nasty comments once again shook the media. While the entire movie industry was silent the first time a complaint was filed against him by Chinmayi, this time the media woke up.
Radha Ravi who spoke badly about Nayanthara during the trailer launch of ‘Kolaiyuthir Kaalam’, was suspended from DMK and the Nadigar Sangam president Vishal sent him a solid letter.
Though the actor Siddarth who stood with all the women during the #MeToo movement asked why Nayanthara is silent.
I was shocked that my entire fraternity was either silent or cynical about the #MeToo movement; I silently rued the fact that it would take only the anger of a powerful woman to make the sleeping wake up. If you speak up only when your own are affected, it’s not called bravery.

To any woman with influence who chose to be silent about #MeToo because of petty insecurity or prioritized outrage, please know you are as guilty as the men who dismissed the movement out of inherent misogyny. Each individual must take responsibility irrespective of gender.

*women who chose to stay silent about other womens’ #MeToo survivor stories. It’s twitter, so I sometimes need to over state even the obvious. https://t.co/DIrwFMJeTa

Vignesh Shivn politely shut Siddharth:
With all due respect to you @Actor_Siddharth and ur opinion .. pic.twitter.com/C8uo2DDlzg— Vignesh Shivan (@VigneshShivN) March 25, 2019
Actor Siddharth soon realized his mistake and asked sorry.
My last tweets fail to communicate what I feel clearly, owing to me needing more words to clarify them. I’m deleting them out of respect to women and survivors. There is no need for muddled statements from men like me at this stage. The #metoo movement is more important. Sorry.— Siddharth (@Actor_Siddharth) March 25, 2019
