Who went through such an ordeal. As admitted by the Female Actor, her allegations were not just baseless they were used to gain advantage, to win, to score, to claim, to settle without the utilisation of Law. And even after that, the SAME producer gives the SAME show to the SAME person. Another LAUNCHPAD, another MOUTH PIECE, another RELEVANCE, another CHANCE to legitimise her Fake Claim of SEXUAL ASSAULT..”
She added, “What if the Actor repeats it? After all the actor has been given the same show by the one she FALSELY ACCUSED.. I AM APPALLED THE JOKE IS ON US.”
