Alla Pugacheva Addresses Family Rumors on Instagram
Renowned Russian singer Alla Pugacheva has broken her silence regarding ongoing rumors about her family life. In a recent Instagram post, she encouraged her followers to be 'bolder' and share more 'interesting stories' about her family, indicating that she enjoys the speculation surrounding her personal life. Accompanied by a selfie wearing sunglasses and a large gold chain, Pugacheva's post comes after nearly three months of silence amid claims of familial troubles.
Allegations of Domestic Issues
The rumors regarding Pugacheva's family dynamics have been fueled by comments from actress Alena Kravets, who described the singer's relationship with her husband, Maxim Galkin, as problematic. Kravets claimed that Galkin often insults Pugacheva in private, masking his cruel remarks as jokes. She portrayed Pugacheva as a 'tragically lonely person' who is financially dependent on her husband, which exacerbates her fears about their relationship. Kravets noted that Pugacheva receives a modest pension of 60,000 rubles, which limits her financial independence.
Public Reaction and Political Commentary
Despite Pugacheva's light-hearted call for more speculation, social media users did not respond positively. Many commenters expressed that they found her family life uninteresting and criticized her for attempting to draw attention back to herself. Additionally, Russian State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov advised Pugacheva against returning to Russia, citing the shame she and Galkin have brought upon themselves due to their outspoken criticism of the country since moving to Israel in 2022. Milonov's comments reflect the shifting perceptions of Pugacheva among her once-loyal fanbase, as many feel betrayed by her actions since her departure from Russia.
