I don't know anything about the chess drama, but it really doesn't matter who you are, don't publicly shame when you could do it privately.

It's kinda hard to privately resign from a match and refuse to play in a tournament because you think an opponent is cheating

I mean people would know something's up, but I was thinking silence would be a good option until some evidence could be produced

You're misunderstanding/misrepresenting the historical/societal role of shame. Its not just a personal feeling to be felt, or more likely feigned, nor is it something one person is capable of imparting to another who is not already inclined towards it.

One's elders do not wait for friends and family to leave the room before calling out shamefull acts, nor would doing so serve any purpose.
