The Kollywood dubbing association terminates Chinmayi’s membership
Share
Earlier last month, Chinmayi spoke up about the harassment she faced by Vairamuthu. She further took to her account to share stories about other women who have faced harassment by him. Some users even shared about sexual misconduct by celebrities such as singer Karthik. Now, in what seems like Kollywood’s reaction to this episode, the dubbing association has decided to terminate Chinmayi’s membership. The popular singer is known for dubbing for several ads and for films. One popular celebrity she dubs for us actress Samantha.
The singer tweeted “Sooo given to understand that I have been terminated from the dubbing union. Which means I can 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 (sic),” she also said that she didn’t receive any prior notice before this decision was taken. “I expected the first axe to go down from the dubbing union. I dont know yet if I’ll be given my membership back. Just a decision that’s been taken without informing me that my membership is terminated. I am still on the much publicised concert tour in the US.(sic)

She also saiAnyway as of now it looks like ‘96 will be my last in Tamil. It is a good film to end my Tamil dubbing scene with if the termination were to continue. Bye Bye!(sic),” she went on to question how Radha Ravi is the president despite sexual allegations against him “Anyway I always knew my career would be done with. Society is run by the powerful. The predators will NEVER be questioned. Neither will disciplinary action be taken against them. Fact that Mr Radha Ravi is still President of the Dubbing Union despite all the allegations”

She went on to say “To all those who asked me why did you not speak up 13 years ago? Proof of what happens when women speak up. Ippove indha gadhi. As if the system, society and everyone would have helped then (sic)

“Thanks for all the support. Or the lack of it. Thanks for showing an example of how women’s voices are (not) respected and (not) heard. Thanks for proving predators will continue to thrive and hold positions of power. Nalla society. Nalla makkal. Nalla nyaayam (sic),” she tweeted.
