In 2017, he came under public scrutiny for saying that 'bad' actresses might share 'the bed' at will while talking about the casting couch in the Malayalam film industry during an interaction with the media. While denying the existence of a casting couch in the Malayalam cinema, he said,
"Those days are long gone. The moment you make an imprudent request to a woman in this day and age, it will be shared with people like you. They will speak about it openly...But if the women are bad, they may share the bed."
Innocent stirred a controversy with his derogatory remarks following which The Women In Cinema Collective (WCC) took to Facebook and criticised the MP saying,
"New artistes face several forms of sexual abuse while entering the film industry. Even our colleagues, like Parvathy and Lakshmi Rai, have spoken about casting couch openly… We cannot accept the statement that the film industry is free from all kinds of sexual exploitation and there should be cautiousness in making statements in public.”
Later, Innocent defended himself via a Facebook post saying that his comments were misinterpreted by the media. A loose translation of his Facebooks post in Malayalam reads,
"I meant to say that compared to earlier years, there has been a healthy and women-friendly change in the environment in the film industry. I never said that there is no anti-woman factor in the film industry. It is a reality that certain social evils are present in the film industry like our society. AMMA will continue to work towards eliminating any kind of anti-woman practice in the industry. Media should refrain from focusing on words that are separated out of context."
