After having been at the forefront of the #MeToo movement from the Tamil film industry, renowned singer and dubbing artiste Chinmayi Sripaada, who accused poet Vairamuthu of sexual harassment, on Saturday said that she has been removed from South Indian Cine and Television Artistes and Dubbing Artistes Union without any intimation.
In a series of posts on social media, Ms. Chinmayi said the decision seems to have been taken due to non-payment of subscription fees for two years. “I have been terminated from the dubbing union. Which means I can no longer dub in Tamil films henceforth. The reason stated is that I haven’t paid ‘subscription fees’ for 2 years though this hasn’t stopped them from taking 10% off my dubbing income,” she said.
