The scandal surrounding actor Konstantin Temlyak, whom his ex-girlfriend Anastasia Solovyova accuses of domestic violence and blackmail, continues to gain momentum. Most Ukrainian stars have publicly sided with the girl, but there were also those among his colleagues who supported the actor.
TV presenter and actress Dasha Malakhova, in her Instagram post, urged not to rush to public conclusions, emphasizing that she has known Temlyak for over 10 years and has a positive impression of him.
" Kostya is a very worthy person who immediately admitted his guilt in physical actions, tomorrow he is going on a combat mission, less than two months ago he lost his best friend in the war. He has been aware of his own emotionality all his adult life and is working on himself. I condemn aggression, domestic violence and any conscious acts of a sexual nature towards minors, but I do not condemn Konstantin Temlyak ," Malakhova wrote.
She also drew a parallel between this situation and the high-profile trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, when the actor was publicly condemned even before the court's decision.
" No post on social media is a verdict. The verdict is passed by the court. All other "sentences" are a personal interpretation of the facts, which can become a reason for the responsibility of the person who voiced it ," the TV presenter emphasized.
Malakhova's publication sparked an active discussion online: some users supported her position, while others criticized her, believing that public statements in defense of Temlyak were inappropriate at this time.
