Singer Chinmayi Sripada, who named lyricist Vairamuthu as a sexual harasser and accused him of behaving inappropriately with her at an event in 2005/2006, was trolled on social media for not reporting the alleged incident back when it happened. The comments came from several Twitter users after she announced a US concert with singer Hariharan, marking his 40 years in music, on the micro-blogging website.

Onnum kavalapada theva illa hariharan sir
Ungala compliant pannumpothu neenga
Setthu karumadhi mudinjirukum..

— JD Chandru (@Chandru35852706) October 20, 2018

The tweet has been written in Tamil, but translates to: “Don’t worry Hari Sir, by the time she complains about you, your final rites would be completed.” Another user said, “40 years later, there will be one #MeToo parcel for Hariharan.”

The tweet translates to: “He might harass you during the concert, and you will tweet about it in 2030.”

@SingerHariharan pls be careful sir

— Hari (@apharan) October 20, 2018

Another user shamed Sripaada for not reporting the alleged incident earlier by saying, “She will accuse Hariharan of sexually harassing her 15 years later.”

“13 years later, you’ll accuse Hariharan of pulling your hand, right?” asked another.

Sripada has been at the forefront of India’s #MeToo movement and has called out several prominent personalities from the South Indian film and music industry on the basis of the accounts sent to her by survivors.
