“My intimate videos are already spreading online. I’m not going to hide or be embarrassed – only those who did it and who continue to spread it should feel shame,” the artist wrote.
She reported that on January 10, they began to blackmail her with intimate videos and extorted money. According to the artist, she immediately contacted the police with a criminal complaint.
“It’s as if I had something there since October 2025. I have all the evidence that this is a lie. Now that the video is on the Internet, I want to say: my body is not a reason for humiliation or enrichment. It belongs only to me,” the artist emphasized.
She called on journalists and bloggers not to distribute the video, noting that this is a violation of the law on personal data and privacy.
“I am not silent, because in the modern world there can be no place for blackmail. Let my difficult experience be an example for everyone who goes through this – don’t tolerate it, don’t try to negotiate, don’t pay. Record it, declare it, speak up,” the artist urged.
