{ "title": "Singer Chinmayi Fights Back Against Online Harassment: 'Not the Kind of Woman Who's Shamed'", "article": "Singer and dubbing artiste Chinmayi Sripada has been a victim of online harassment, including a morphed nude image and death threats against her children. She has spoken out about the abuse, which escalated after she named a lyricist who allegedly harassed her. Chinmayi's husband, filmmaker-actor Rahul Ravindran, made a comment on her mangalasutra a few weeks ago, prompting an increase in trolling against her and her family. The singer posted a video on social media, explaining that she has been targeted online since she spoke out about facing harassment from a lyricist. She accused several people on Twitter Spaces of making threatening comments, including saying women who have children should not be allowed to have them or that their children should die. Chinmayi has also faced harassment since naming the lyricist, Vairamuthu, in a MeToo case in 2018. The rise of deepfakes and AI technology is expected to make it easier for men to create and share manipulated images of women, said Chinmayi. But she is standing firm, saying she is 'not the kind of woman who is shamed by this.' She is urging other women and girls who face similar situations to take legal action. Chinmayi has been a vocal advocate for women's rights and has supported several MeToo cases in the music industry. Her membership in the Tamil Film Dubbing Union was terminated after she accused several musicians of harassment, a decision that is currently in court."
