Their second statement read:
“It’s been a tough couple of days for us at TVF, as you would know. We needed to first & foremost take care of our internal team that has been most impacted by the recent events. Yes, there have been allegations of misbehaviour against our Founder, from several women. When the first blog appeared on March 12th, it shocked all of us including our extended set of associates. The allegations were severe. We were confused & taken aback. The blog alleged that he/she was an employee of the organisation & even indicated specific content production they were a part of. We immediately began checking the facts internally.”
