Transgender model, Kami Sid, has been accused of rape and intimidation by a number of people on social media. She has also been accused of concealing evidence by paying people to keep the event under wraps for years. The shocking news comes after Kami’s film “Rani” was showcased at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. Following the film’s screening, a fellow activist Minahil Baloch made a post on their Facebook account, urging people to “stop supporting rapists, even if they make it to Cannes”.
With a heavy heart, I’m writing this, that i am being threatened by trans model kami sid for making a post about something where i haven’t named anyone, while the community is marginalized itself, everyone should be held accountable for their actions regardless of their gender. pic.twitter.com/rb1FXzH4oV

Minahil Baloch took to Facebook and alleged that she was threatened by Kami Sid over messages after she shared a status on social media regarding the Cannes film festival. The post caught the attention of Kami, who then contacted Minahil privately and threatened her, as seen in screenshots of messages later made public by a girl named Minahil.
While speaking to a publication, Kami says: “There is a group against me. People’s personal agendas are involved. There’s nothing else I can really say. Now people from my committee will speak up. I have a calm temperament and I am a trans woman, people should understand how trans individuals have been oppressed in the past and in the present. If people want to say these things, well, that is their right.”
