Chennai, Mar 25 (UNI) Popular Tamil film actor and DMK member Radharavi was on Monday temporarily suspended from the Party for slut-shaming actress Nayanthara on stage at the audio launch of her film recently.

In a statement here, DMK General Secretary K Anbazhagan said Radharavi was temporarily suspended from the DMK for violating the party principles and for acting in a manner that brought disrepute to the party.

Immediately after his suspension, Radharavi expressed regret for his remarks and said he himself was opting out of the DMK.

''If there is any harm to the party because of me, I myself will opt out of the DMK. My words were misunderstood. I express my regret for them," he said.

Meanwhile, actress Nayanthara thanked DMK President M K Stalin for swiftly taking action against misogynistic speeches of Radharavi.

In a press release, she said 'I would like to remind Radharavi and the likes of misogynists like him that they were also given birth by a woman.''

''By demeaning the status of women and passing sexist remarks, these retarded men get a feeling of machismo," she said.
