Kirkorov hit a woman

Exactly a year ago, the name of Philip Kirkorov flashed in all the headlines in connection with a very ugly story: another woman fell under his hot hand (and sharp tongue). Assistant director Marina Yablokova at the rehearsal of the "Golden Gramophone" after a verbal skirmish dared to call our king of pop an indecent word, and the temperamental singer slapped her in the face (or, according to other sources, even beat the offender). Everyone would have forgotten about the “emergency situation”, but the information got into the press, and Kirkorov had to hastily flee to Israel to “heal his nerves” and fight off the angry attacks of his colleagues and the outraged public.

Katya Gordon was beaten by her husband

In early September, the story of assault happened in the life of Katya Gordon. A great specialist in scandals, she personally told the press about how her husband, lawyer Sergei Zhorin, beat her. Then Katya seemed to give up her words, but the mechanism was already started. The couple began a "fight without rules" in the press and announced a divorce.

John Galliano demonstrated racist views

On March 1, the famous fashion designer John Galliano, after 15 years of work, lost his post as creative director of Christian Dior, and in April he also lost the leading position at his own brand, John Galliano. The designer was let down by his bad character and beliefs: in a Parisian cafe, being drunk, he attacked a couple sitting next to him with abuse with openly racist and anti-Semitic overtones. Galliano denied this fact - exactly until the video of another similar episode, where the fashion designer confessed his love to Hitler and dreamed of sending his interlocutors to the gas chamber, got on the Internet.

Lars von Trier made a bad joke about Hitler

Film director Lars von Trier also suffered because of his "love" for Hitler, who this year brought his film Melancholy to the Cannes Film Festival. In Cannes, during a press conference, he managed to say: “I understand Hitler. I think he was doing absolute evil, but I can imagine him sitting in a bunker in his last hours. " Jokingly or seriously, von Trier added that he was a Nazi, and politically correct Europe unanimously turned its back on the director, and at the festival he became persona non grata. Fortunately, at least the film was not excluded from the program.

Alexey Vorobyov used obscene language on television

The young singer disgraced himself at the Eurovision Song Contest in Dusseldorf when, not knowing about the working microphone, he uttered an obscene tirade on the air of the show. Alexey heard his name among the finalists of the competition and shouted joyfully: “This is Russia! This is Russia, b …! Come here, b …! Look in the eyes, b …! In Russia, we did not hear this, but Moldovan TV viewers made out every word and immediately posted the video on the Internet - so Vorobyov for a long time became the object of ridicule and harsh criticism from colleagues and viewers.

Dmitry Guberniev gossiped all over the country

A long tongue this year has let down sports commentator Dmitry Guberniev. At the end of August, during a break in the Spartak-CSKA match, Dmitry, relying on the disconnected microphone, began to discuss the "latest news" with expert Dmitry Gradilenko.

Allusions to the professional unsuitability of Zenit goalkeeper Vyacheslav Malafeev were replaced by gossip about his deceased wife Marina, and the commentator was not shy about his expressions. On the Internet, his entire tirade was heard by a huge audience - as a result, the management of the Russia 2 channel decided to temporarily remove Guberniev from the air. By the way, Malafeev never accepted an apology from the offender.

Kelly Osbourne criticizes Christina Aguilera

The thinner Kelly Osbourne this summer recouped all the previous insults inflicted on her by Christina Aguilera. Previously, the slender singer mocked Kelly's plumpness, and now, when Aguilera herself has grown fat, the girls have reversed roles. Not embarrassed in expressions, Osborne on television called her rival "fat with …". “You called me fat for so many years, and you know what? Fuck you! You're fat too,”Kelly raged. In October, she again attacked Aguilera. “She called me fat for years. But I have never been as fat as she is,”the girl said.

The dark past of Alexander Malinin surfaced

Just the facts: Alexander Malinin and Olga Zarubina had a daughter, Kira, 24 years ago, almost immediately after that the couple divorced, and the singer no longer communicated with his former family. It would seem that this is an everyday matter. But purely family affairs of a single couple through the efforts of Andrei Malakhov and the show "Let them talk!" in October escalated into a large-scale scandal.

Malinin in the eyes of the public turned into an irresponsible callous dad, who, under the influence of his wife Emma, disowned his own daughter. The passions in the Malinins' house, perhaps, have already subsided, but the public still has a sediment.

Scandals around the Bolshoi Theater

The most famous theater in the country this year has repeatedly found itself in the center of high-profile scandals. The first burst out in March, when photographs of gay orgies with the participation of "a man who looked like" the director of the ballet troupe of the theater, Gennady Yanin, appeared on the Internet. After such "exposure" Yanin left his post. The second scandal thundered when the Bolshoi Theater reopened its doors after 6 years of restoration. The famous theater soloist Nikolai Tsiskaridze harshly criticized the work carried out, calling the reconstruction "vandalism". The dancer's angry speeches caused a huge resonance, and Tsiskaridze himself was immediately accused of a banal power struggle.
