Anupama Parameswaran Details Ex’s Alleged Abuse Before Stage Breakdown
Anupama Parameswaran is an actor who cried at an event for her movie Paradha about a year ago.
Some people thought she was crying to help promote the film.
She now says that was not true.
She says her former boyfriend said very hurtful things to her before she went on stage.
She also says he blamed her feelings on her periods and hormones.
This made her feel ashamed of being a woman and an actor.
She said the relationship affected her health and caused anxiety, weight loss, blackouts, and an eye problem.
Anupama has not said who the former boyfriend is.
Anupama Parameswaran says her ex-boyfriend slut-shamed her shortly before she broke down at a Paradha promotional event.
She rejected suggestions that the crying was a publicity tactic or sympathy card for the film.
She said the alleged abuse made her feel ashamed of being an actor, having periods, and being a woman.
Anupama described panic and anxiety attacks, drastic weight loss, blackouts, right-eye twitching, and urgent eye surgery.
She alleged a two-year relationship involving narcissistic abuse but has not publicly identified the former boyfriend.
