Actress Julie on Vijay (Pics/Instagram)
Actress Julie has sparked controversy after alleging that the online harassment she faced from supporters of actor-politician Vijay's party contributed to the loss of her first child. She also alleged that, following this, accusations of a Rs 15 lakh kidney scam against her surfaced.
Speaking about the impact of online harassment and character assassination, Julie alleged that the severe mental anguish caused by relentless trolling led to the loss of her first child.
"We lost our baby. I had just gotten married, and we lost our first baby. My child died due to severe mental anguish caused by online harassment. I could use this for sympathy, but my point is that defamatory and derogatory remarks are being made about my husband and me. Just because a woman speaks about TVK, you ruin her name without a conscience... I have nothing to say."
She also added, "People say that Vijay anna became CM through Instagram. Instead of orchestrating attacks against those who speak against his people, shouldn't he focus on doing something for the public?"
The actress added that her complaint wasn't being taken seriously because the eight people she accused were TVK supporters. "Vijay anna is responsible for me losing my child. He might not have done it directly. But if he had said just one word and asked them to back off, I wouldn't have lost what I lost today."
Veteran actress Ambika, who has acted in numerous South Indian films, reacted to Julie's statement on social media. She wrote, "juli feel really bad abt pregnancy. but the statement? very unethical. ur health problem? how can our cm be the reason. so bad to say that. U were so rude & used very bad language (disrespect). when we hve a CM or PM even if the person is 20 or 99 we respect the position."
Vijay's fans also questioned her on social media, asking why she was blaming them for her miscarriage.
Julie became a household name after Bigg Boss Tamil (2017) and later participated in Bigg Boss Ultimate (2022). She has hosted shows such as Odi Vilayadu Paapa and acted in Tamil films such as Naan Sirithal (2020).
