Bigg Boss Tamil 7 is currently one of the most popular reality television shows and has kept the viewers entertained with its drama going on inside the house. The controversies of 'Bigg Boss Tamil 7' have extended to outside the house as well after actress Vanitha Vijaykumar claimed that she was assaulted by a supporter of Pradeep Antony. The incident reportedly happened due to her daughter, Jovika's involvement in a protest against Pradeep, which led to his elimination.

Reacting to Vanitha's claims, Pradeep wrote on X, "Clarification: I really don’t have anything against any of my contestants or anyone. I speak like this with them. @vanithavijayku1 I’m not aware of what happened to you, but I feel sorry for you. Take rest. Jovika is smart, she can win it by herself, she doesn’t need your help (sic).”

After issuing the clarification, Pradeep later deleted the post from X.

Vanitha had shared a picture of herself with a bruised face and wrote on X, "Brutally attacked by god knows who! A so called #PradeepAntony supporter. Finished my #BiggBossTamil7 review and had dinner and walked down to my car i parked in my sister sowmyas house was dark and a man appeared from nowhere and said red card kudukreengala… Ni support vera and hit me hard on my face and fleed away. I was in so much pain bleeding in my face and yelling."

"Ni support vera and hit me hard on my face and fleed away . I was in so much pain bleeding in my face and yelling. No one around was around 1 am .i called my sister to come down she urged me to go report this incident to police but i told her I lost trust in the process. I took first aid and left home with rage and not able to identify my attacker. He laughed like a lunatic which haunts my ears. Taking a break from everything as i am not in a physical condition to appear on screen. For those who support disturbed ppl danger is just a feet away," she added.
