The Ukrainian show industry has once again become the arena for loud scandals. This time, the focus is on the popular singer Max Barskih, director Alan Badoev, and psychologist-blogger Natalia Kholodenko. The reason for the artist's explosive reaction was an unambiguous insinuation made in one of the podcasts.
The subtext that angered the star
It all started on the air of Vasily Timoshenko's podcast. Natalia Kholodenko, discussing the phenomenon of so-called PR romances in the Ukrainian show business, touched upon the topic of the relationship between Daria Kvitkova and Nikita Dobrinin. When the host doubted the possibility of an affair, considering the former couple had a child together, the blogger shifted the blame to another couple.
"And Badoev? He lives his whole life with 'fog'. And two children," declared the psychologist. The context was obvious: the word "fog" referred to Max Barskih's hit, and the mention of children hinted at his family life. Kholodenko, in essence, publicly hinted at a possible romance between the singer and the director.
A harsh response: "Hype-jerker"
Max Barskih did not hold back his emotions and silently accept the hints. The artist promptly published a screenshot of a fragment of the podcast on his social media and gave a harsh assessment of the blogger's words. In his comment, he did not hold back on expressions, calling Kholodenko a "swindler" and a "pseudo-psychologist".
"I hope normal people don't take this swindler seriously... What is she babbling? Hype-jerker!", the singer wrote. His reaction showed that he takes such hints about his personal life extremely painfully and considers it an attempt to profit from someone else's reputation.
Silence in response
At the moment, Natalia Kholodenko has not publicly commented on Max Barskih's sharp reaction. The situation remains open, but it becomes clear: in the era of social networks and podcasts, any joke or guess can turn into a serious conflict that instantly becomes public knowledge.
