Amala Paul took to Twitter to break her silence about director Susi Ganesan, whom she says slut-shamed her for supporting Leena Manimekalai

Actor Amala Paul has said in tweet that she was verbally abused and slut-shamed by Susi Ganesan and his wife for voicing support for director Leena Manimekalai, who had accused Ganesan of sexual harassment. Amala also recounted in a long note how she, too, was sexually harassed on the sets of her 2017 movie with Susi, Thiruttu Payale 2.

Actor Amala Paul has also accused director Susi Ganesan of sexually harassing her.

She wrote on Twitter, “Just got the shock of my life! @DirectorSusi & @sgmanjari called &I picked up to explain the stand.While I was trying to pacify his wife; Susi strted abusing me&to my surprise his wife strted laughing&they both joined to slut shame me.

Leena had accused Susi Ganesan of misbehaving with her under the pretext of dropping her home. She also revealed that she had to threaten him with a knife to get away. At the press meet held on Tuesday, she said, “It is the #metoo movement that has given me the courage to speak out now.”

Susi Ganesan’s wife, Manjari Susi Ganesan, called Leena a ‘Me Too fraud’ for using the movement. Manjari also released a statement on Twitter questioning Leena’s hesitance in sharing details of the ordeal that she’d allegedly gone through.
