Singer Sunitha Sarathy Shares Her #MeToo Story of Sexual Violence

Renowned singer Sunitha Sarathy has bravely come forward to share her story of sexual abuse as part of the ongoing #MeToo movement. In a heartfelt Facebook post, she detailed the traumatic experiences she faced as a child at the hands of people she knew.

Describing the profound impact of sexual abuse, Sunitha emphasized that only those who have gone through it can truly understand the devastating effects. She recounted two instances of abuse, one involving her mother’s cousin and the other her mother’s colleague and friend, which led her to distance herself from her relatives.

Despite the trauma she endured, Sunitha found solace in her pet animals and revealed that there are more incidents she has yet to speak about. She also bravely called out a music director who allegedly sabotaged her career after she rejected his advances.

In a powerful message to both men and women who have been abused, Sunitha urged them to speak their truth and not protect sexual predators. She also expressed her support for fellow singer Chinmayi, emphasizing the importance of women supporting each other.

The #MeToo movement has brought to light numerous cases of sexual harassment across various industries, with powerful men being held accountable for their actions. Sunitha’s courage in sharing her story adds to the growing chorus of voices demanding justice and accountability for survivors of sexual violence.
