Singer Keneeshaa Francis breaks silence amid online hate and death threats over Ravi Mohan-Aarti Ravi divorce

Mint23-05-2025

Singer Keneeshaa Francis has broken her silence following a storm of online abuse and death threats linked to the ongoing divorce saga between Tamil actor Ravi Mohan and his estranged wife Aarti Ravi.
The singer, who has been dragged into the couple's personal feud, took to Instagram to make her stance clear: she will not be intimidated or silenced.
In a powerful message, Keneesha called out the vitriol and stood firm, stating she would not turn off comments or retreat from the public eye.
In one Instagram story, Keneeshaa posted an image of Goddess Durga and addressed the hate. "I understand that because most of you don't know my truth and pain, words like this and worse are easy to lay upon me. I'm sorry your assumptions are hurting you. But I pray to the Gods of light that someday soon, the truth will unfold. If I'm wrong, I'm ready to be punished by law. Until then, can I be allowed to breathe without hatred?" she wrote. Keneesha Francis broke her silence over Ravi-Aarti's divorce.
She added another pointed statement in a follow-up story, stating, 'I'm not turning off my comments or running away. I have nothing to hide from no body. You have the right to question my actions but please come do it to my face and I'm happy to show each one of you and in public my side of the story… Please take me to court if you're confident that I'm even a catalyst to anything… Do it rightfully (sic)!' Keneesha Francis wrote about the online bullying and trolling she is facing.
The singer also highlighted the emotional toll of the backlash, asking, "Have any one of you even thought about what I'm going through with your curses, body-shaming, abuses, misogyny, falsifying facts and death threats (sic)?"
The storm began after Aarti Ravi hinted at a third party being responsible for her marital breakdown. In a public statement, she said, "There is a third person in our marriage. What broke us wasn't something between us - it was someone outside. The 'light of your life' brought only darkness to ours. That's the truth."
Although Aarti didn't name Keneeshaa, speculation soared after Ravi had earlier praised the singer in a heartfelt, four-page message posted on X (formerly Twitter), calling her a 'beautiful companion.'
In his recent note, actor Ravi defended Keneeshaa's role in his life.
"She stood by me on the night I left my own home barefoot… She is a beautiful companion, and I assure you this - She carries light. Kenisha Francis… chose to save a drowning man, very quickly became a lifeline of support when I had nothing but tears, blood, and the courage to walk away from a life that nearly broke me," he wrote.
On May 22, 2025, the estranged couple appeared in the Chennai Family Court to file separate petitions. Ravi stated that he had no desire to continue the marriage, while Aarti demanded a monthly alimony of ₹ 40 lakh.
The pair, who married in 2009, continue to make public allegations against each other as their legal battle unfolds.

Justin Bieber responds to mental health rumors: 'Worry about yourself, gramps'

Singer Justin Bieber has stirred the internet with a blunt response to growing speculation around his mental health and personal life. The incident began after a meme account posted a screenshot of a conversation where someone referred to as 'Grandpa' said, 'I am worried about Justin Bieber,' followed by, 'There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life. ' The post quickly gained attention, prompting fans to weigh in. The 'Baby' singer didn't stay silent. In a sharp Instagram comment, the 31-year-old pop icon replied, 'Worry about yourself, gramps.' His statement was later featured by the popular page Comments by Celebs, further fueling the online chatter. While many fans supported Bieber's no-nonsense reply, others interpreted it as a sign of growing emotional distress. Fans react: He's always been truly savage. Reactions across social media have been mixed. Some praised Bieber's assertiveness, commenting, 'TELL EM KINGGGG' and 'If you're not worried, I'm not worried.' Others expressed continued concern, with responses like, 'We all are, Grandpa, we all are.' The fan base appears split between those defending his right to privacy and those genuinely concerned about his mental health. Another comment read, 'Justin reposting this is hilarious. ' Another one commented, 'This is why I have loved him since 2009; he is always funny.' One netizen commented, 'I can see his Funny or Die persona back in 2010 coming back out; he's always been truly savage.' This incident follows a string of cryptic posts from Bieber in recent months. On June 8, Bieber dropped a single, almost off-hand line to his socials: 'If I have to do something to be loved… that's not love.' The post was so bare it practically begged for interpretation, and fans wasted no time. Timelines lit up with theories. Was he talking about the music industry, a rough patch at home, or something he hasn't spoken about yet? A Long, Uneasy Spotlight Bieber's behavior at Hailey Bieber's Rhode event earlier this year triggered a wave of online chatter. Earlier this year, his behavior at Hailey Bieber's Rhode pop-up event raised eyebrows, although his team denied any substance-related issues, calling such claims 'salacious and harmful.' Despite being married since 2018 and navigating fame as a couple, both Justin and Hailey continue to face relentless scrutiny.
