Reacting to the news of the CM's visit to Vairamuthu's house, Chinmayi wrote on Twitter, "The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu personally visits the home of a man accused by several women of sexual harassment to wish him on his birthday; I, as a multiple award winning singer and voice over artiste, face a work ban by the Tamil Film Industry since 2018, for naming this poet as a molester in the MeToo movement.

"5 bloody years almost and counting because the legal process is your bigger punishment; almost like they say, ‘How dare you seek justice?!’ A molester and a poet was born several decades ago and decided he can lay his hands on any woman, threaten her to silence with his closeness to multiple politicians especially the DMK. He gets awarded multiple Padma awards and the Sahitya Natak Akademi award plus multiple National Awards.

“This land has this amazing culture that Every year on a molester’s birthday, men and women in / from the great Tamil Penniyam culture find it necessary to tag the woman that’s molested and say Vayiru eriyudha? This is our amazing rape apologist culture. Where they celebrate sex offenders and harass the women who speak up. Sensitivity, empathy, education and awareness is zero,” she added

The singer who previously came out in support of the wrestlers' protest, also said, “Brij Bhushan to Vairamuthu they will all always get away because politicians would rather safeguard these men. Why even bother wishing for this magical unicorn thing called Justice which is basically absent in this land.”
