Vijay Sethupathi BREAKS SILENCE On S*xual Exploitation, Casting Couch Allegations; Says, “This Woman Is Obviously…”

Veteran actor Vijay Sethupathi has responded to the recent allegations of s*xual exploitation levelled against him by an X user. He firmly denied the accusations, stating that anyone familiar with him would find the claims laughable. He mentioned that while his family is upset, he remains unaffected by the allegations. Additionally, he revealed that he has filed a complaint with the cybercrime department.

Vijay Sethupathi REACTS To S*xual Allegations

In an interview with Subhash K Jha from Deccan Chronicle, Vijay Sethupathi dismissed the accusations as “filthy.” He said, “Anyone who knows me even remotely will laugh at this. I know myself too. This kind of filthy accusation can’t upset me. My family and close friends are upset, but I tell them, ‘Let it slide. This woman is obviously doing it to be noticed. She has her few minutes of fame, let her enjoy it.’”

He further stated, “We’ve complained to cybercrime. I’ve faced all kinds of whispering campaigns for seven years. Such targeting has not affected me so far. It never will.” The actor also expressed suspicion about the timing of the allegations, asserting, “My new film is doing well. Probably, some jealous elements think that by tarnishing me, they can damage my film. It doesn’t work that way.”

He emphasised the current social media landscape, saying, “In today’s day and age, anyone can say anything about anybody. There are no filters. All you need is an account on social media, and you can write what you like without fear of repercussion.”

What Happened Earlier?

For context, the allegations against Vijay Sethupathi were made by an X user named Ramya Mohan. The post has since been deleted. Ramya claimed that Vijay Sethupathi had sexually exploited a girl she knows, stating, “@VijaySethuOffl has offered Rs. 2L for ‘caravan favors’, Rs. 50k for ‘drives’ and acts like a saint on social media.”

She further alleged, “This isn’t one story. It’s many, and the media worships these men like they are saints. The drug-sex nexus is real. Not a joke.” She also mentioned that “dr*gs, manipulation, and transactional exploitation disguised as industry norm” are rampant in Kollywood. Although the post was deleted, it drew considerable attention from social media users.
