Actor and chef Madhampatty Rangaraj has publicly addressed the ongoing controversy with costume designer Joy Crizildaa, his alleged former partner.Rangaraj released a statement emphasizing his commitment to resolving the dispute through the judicial system rather than media or social media speculation. He expressed confidence that the truth will be established in accordance with the law and requested media and the public to avoid commenting on the matter.
The controversy began after Rangaraj married Joy earlier this year, shortly after which she announced her pregnancy. Joy filed a police complaint alleging that Rangaraj abandoned her, concealed his first marriage, and deceived her. She also claimed that he had similarly cheated multiple women. Rangaraj previously filed a civil suit to restrain Joy from making defamatory statements against him through social media and elsewhere, but the court dismissed his petition. Joy escalated the matter by filing a complaint with the Tamil Nadu State Commission for Women.
Rangaraj stated firmly that he intends to face the legal process and demands justice through the courts, not through media trials. He thanked his supporters for their encouragement and trust during this difficult time.
The Tamil Nadu State Commission for Women has summoned both parties for hearings, indicating that the legal battle is ongoing and under close scrutiny by the public and authorities.
