She also mentioned that the matter is so serious that she could even file a police complaint against him. Further, Anjali explained that Tayne is only trying to get views and followers by using her name. It is worth mentioning that after the video, Anjali shared a photo of herself on Instagram Stories and captioned it as ‘Guys call women crazy only when they get rejected’. In the video clip, Anjali can be quoted as saying:

"Okay guys, so Tayne has made some video because he doesn’t have work and he needs followers and content, and he’s talking about how I’m crazy. I just want to let you know that Tayne groped me without my consent on day one of the show, and I can literally file a police case right now. So yes, Tayne, you want to call me crazy, but people will know who you really are. Let’s not go there."
