Usman Mukhtar makes shocking revelations about harassment and bullying
Usman Mukhtar has made some shocking revelations on Instagram about harassment and bullying.
Actor-cinematographer said that he was harassed, blackmailed, bullied online for one and a half years by a woman.
Usman Mukhtar in his Instagram stories narrated the details about how it all started over creative differences over a music video and ended up being harassed, bullied and his character being maligned.
“I had wanted to resolve this quietly, in order to not bring negative attention onto a woman, any woman,” Sabaat star wrote explaining that he did not want to come public with the whole situation, but had to.
“I can’t remain silent in good conscience while my character is constantly maligned,” he went on to share, apologizing for the timings considering the recent events. He also added that he does not intend ‘to take away the valid fears and threats women face every day.”
“My family and friends have been targeted with harassment and disparaging comments especially Amma, my mental health has suffered.” the actor wrote.
He added that the artist went onto make false claims about him on social media and went as far as to constantly message him for 3 years despite the fact he never replied.
As soon as the detailed account went public, #StayStrongUsmanMukhtar emerged as the top trending topic on Pakistani social media.
This woman has crossed all the boundaries of infidelity. She was not ashamed at all. What peace do they get by ruining someone’s life?

As much as I advocate the need to believe women speaking up, it’s about time we not only belive but speak for men like Usman Mukhtar too. Opening up about harassment is never easy & no one has the right malign anyone with false accusations. We hear you UM. #StayStrongUsmanMukhtar pic.twitter.com/75HbbtyuXn

Extremely disturbed to see #UsmanMukhtar‘s stories. Usman was harrased and abused by this lady for stepping back from her music video. This is time to stop promoting and protecting people using #MeToo for their personal vendettas.#StayStrongUsmanMukhtar pic.twitter.com/FYP55sHmiW
