Yesterday, actor and social media personality Rakhi Sawant held an explosive press conference, accusing Dutta of drugging and raping her 12 years ago. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/videos\/entertainment\/hindi\/metoo-movement-rakhi-sawant-speaks-up-in-support-of-nana-patekar\/videoshow\/66349354.cms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> released of the conference, Sawant sits with her head covered, and describes how Dutta used to be her friend, before she plied her with weed at a rave party and raped her. She insists that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/christine-blasey-ford-tanushree-dutta-and-the-future-of-metoo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dutta<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is actually a man \u2013 presumably suggesting that she is transgender \u2013 and a lesbian, bringing up the Supreme Court\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/section-377-lgbtq-kantaben-long-fight\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sec 377<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> decision. Sawant first claims that she never wanted to tell this story, but that she has been left with no choice as #MeToo is an infiltrating American movement of which Dutta is an agent.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Really, Rakhi Sawant. This time you\u2019ve gone too far. Sawant\u2019s Instagram pot casts \u2013 where she sends wedding proposals in Bhojpuri to Mike Tyson or records her reactions to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/satire\/virat-kohli-anti-national\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virat Kohli<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Anushka Sharma\u2019s wedding announcement \u2013 might be the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/smriti-irani-sanitary-napkins-sabarimala\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enemy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of good taste but are eventually harmless. It\u2019s fine if you want to \u201cdonate\u201d your breasts, but to hijack a legitimate cathartic movement to gain social media currency? It\u2019s a new low even for Sawant. \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, a bit of background. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is not the first time Sawant has taken issue with Dutta over #MeToo. Discussing <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horn OK Pleassss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where she left the production following the alleged harassment, Dutta had said that she was insulted to have been replaced by Sawant. Sawant hit back, claiming that Dutta lied about the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/indian-men-cant-handle-alcohol\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">behaviour<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of Patekar and the film\u2019s choreographer Ganesh Acharya, and that she was only speaking after a decade for attention and money \u2013 ignoring the fact that Dutta had already brought up the incident in the press in 2008, when <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Horn Ok Pleassss<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was being filmed, and later in 2013. To underline Dutta\u2019s supposed lack of credibility, Sawant also accused her of taking drugs on-set. In response, Dutta filed a \u20b910-crore defamation suit against her. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just a few days ago, Sawant foreshadowed her press conference when she posted a series of videos on Instagram speaking against the movement as a whole and Dutta in particular, advocating for a \u201c#HeToo\u201d. In these, she claims that because MNS leader <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/politics\/the-changing-economics-of-vandalism-raj-thackeray-mns-dahi-handi-riot\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raj Thackeray<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (whose goons attacked Dutta\u2019s car following her 2008 allegations) and Patekar were not giving her attention, Dutta had now chosen to target her. She threatened to file a defamation countersuit against Tanushree for \u20b950 crore, doubled down on the drug claims, and condemned all of #MeToo as a publicity stunt.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For anyone who watched that press conference, it is clear that it is Sawant who has escalated the ongoing feud between them by publicly and theatrically accusing Dutta of a horrific crime. When a reporter interrupted her screed to ask about specifics of the alleged <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/cristiano-ronaldo-rape-allegations-me-too\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rape<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Sawant could not recall who was at the rave party, when it was, or what happened. She quickly reverted to again calling Dutta a man. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The groaningly obvious shock value of Sawant\u2019s press conference will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with her career up until now. It was, after all, only a month back that she posted an Instagram video of herself sitting unhappily on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/women-dont-visit-ladies-loo-alone\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">toilet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explaining that she was constipated due to her debilitating crush on American boxer and convicted rapist Mike Tyson. Yesterday, in a botched feminist statement, she put out a video of herself dancing in a leotard with a padlock hanging over her crotch, saying that she is a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/doodle\/internet-time-mahabharata-memes-digital-india\/'\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scientist<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who has discovered how women can protect themselves against harassment. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of her fans are entertained by this carefully crafted camp persona. Her bizarre, trainwreck character, like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pop-culture\/bigg-boss-jersey-shore-and-the-universal-appeal-of-trashy-reality-tv\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trashy reality TV<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, leaves you unable to look away.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But these serious allegations go far beyond the pale. Her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/why-women-like-tavleen-singh-choose-not-to-be-a-part-of-metoo\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">absurd<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ultimately innocuous antics designed to grab eyeballs have been fine because they are restricted to her personality that you can choose to engage with or ignore \u2013 but in trashing an entire movement, Sawant has attacked the integrity of hundreds of women and vilified them as attention-seeking liars. She has dismissed a movement of solidarity that continues to give women courage to speak up about serial abuse and everyday harassment. <\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>When a reporter interrupted her screed to ask about specifics of the alleged rape, Sawant could not recall who was at the rave party, when it was, or what happened.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is no coincidence that she has chosen to do so using the frantic anxieties that are peddled to the middle-class about Bollywood: the debauchery of so-called rave parties; the potential pitfalls of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/culture\/marijuana-legalisation-march-mumbai\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">marijuana<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which Sawant claims she took under duress, being too naive to know its effects; the insidious dishonesty of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/series\/whats-up-with\/sec-377-legalisation-gay-sex-lgbtq-rights\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LGBT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> community, where men supposedly parade as women, which is only made stronger by the repeal of Sec 377; and the pervasive and evil influence of Western culture that is ruining Indian womanhood. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These dog-whistles, along with Sawant\u2019s characterisation of herself as an innocent \u201cHindustani nari\u201d coerced into the big bad world of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/bollywood-sexual-harassment-alok-nath-nana-patekar\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bollywood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, come together to form a particular narrative \u2013 one that casts Sawant as a symbol of traditional Hindustan, and Dutta and #MeToo as a foreign agent of socio-moral decay. It\u2019s a jarring role for Sawant, who is known for being frank about her <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/a-love-letter-to-my-big-fat-body\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sexuality<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and her ambitions, who has refused to let her class and outsider status define her \u2013 who has, in many respects, developed her own brand of feminism. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is all the more unfortunate, then, that she has chosen not only to insult the women who\u2019ve spoken out, but to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/gender\/world-judge-wives-daughters-sisters-of-sexual-harassers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">muddy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the waters of the entire movement with her performance of victimhood. As #MeToo has proven, India\u2019s women deserve a lot better than the attention-seeking tactics of Rakhi Sawant. <\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a recent press conference, Rakhi Sawant claimed that Tanushree Dutta raped her and muddied the waters of the #MeToo movement by calling it a publicity stunt.
