Jayasurya responds to sexual harassment allegations: A lie always travels faster than the truth | Malayalam Movie News – Times of India

Without even hearing a statement from the accused, there have been plenty of stones thrown at the Malayalam actor Jayasurya for alleged sexual harassment. Now, the actor has decided not to take it anymore and has broken his silence, addressing the serious accusations leveled against him. The actor, who has been in the United States for the past month, shared an emotional statement on his birthday, expressing his anguish over the false claims.

In his official statement, Jayasurya wrote, “To all of you who have wished me on my birthday today, to all of you who are extending your support and standing by me, thank you. Due to my personal commitments, my family and I have been in America for the past month, and during this time, two false allegations on the grounds of sexual harassment were made against me. Quite naturally, it has shattered me, my family and everyone who has held me close.”

The actor, clearly distressed by the accusations, affirmed his decision to take legal action to clear his name. “I have decided to move forward with this legally. My legal team will be looking after the rest of the proceedings regarding this case. False allegations are easy to make for anyone who lacks a conscience. I only hope one realizes that facing a false accusation of harassment is just as painful as the harassment itself. A lie always travels faster than the truth but I believe truth will prevail. I will be back as soon as I finish my work here. All the legal proceedings to prove my innocence will continue. I have complete faith in our judicial system.”

Concluding his statement, Jayasurya added, “Let those who have not sinned throw stones; but only at those who have sinned.”
