Popular singer Chinmayi Sripaada has backed accusations of sexual harassment against veteran Tamil lyricist-poet Vairamuthu by alleging that she was asked to "cooperate" and visit him in a hotel but she refused. After endorsing allegations of sexual harassment against Vairamuthu by several others on Twitter in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Chinmayi shared her own story.

In a series of tweets, Chinmayi recalled an incident that a concert organiser asked her to "cooperate" and visit Vairamuthu in his hotel room. She said this happened in 2005 or 2006.
