Ksenia Sobchak is a notorious star. Arranging a provocation or a scandal for her is a matter of five minutes. One of these - the most high-profile, in which she was noticed - is her quarrel with the journalists of the Internet portal LifeNews. The police even got interested in this case.
The essence of the conflict was as follows: in March 2012, Ksenia Anatolyevna was in one of the capital's restaurants in the close company of her close friends and associates. The meeting was extremely private and did not involve people who were not invited to it. However, the journalists of LifeNews, disguised as visitors to the institution, ended up next to the table of a socialite and recorded all of Ksenia's conversations with her interlocutors.
When the TV presenter noticed that the shooting was in full swing, she demanded that the correspondents stop this and erase all the information received during the "spy action". However, the journalists refused to comply with this demand. Then Sobchak and the people accompanying her kicked the correspondents out of the restaurant.
From the point of view of feather sharks, the situation looked very different. Journalists claim that Ksenia beat them, took away a flash drive with photos and videos, and broke their camera. The head of the publication immediately drew up a statement to the law enforcement agencies. In their statement, the journalists indicated that the beatings inflicted on them by Sobchak and her companions were witnessed in one of the Moscow trauma centers. This became the basis for qualifying the scandal between the socialite Ksenia Sobchak and the correspondents of the online edition LifeNews as a criminal case.
For her part, Ksenia Sobchak also has witnesses, as she herself put it, “about 15 people,” who saw how the dispute unfolded between the celebrity and journalists. She is sure that they will confirm that no one even thought of starting a fight, and the correspondents were expelled from the restaurant quite correctly, after they were convincingly asked to give away all the footage.
A check by law enforcement agencies showed that there are a lot of inconsistencies in the words of the journalists, and in fact there was no beating or damage to the property that belongs to the Internet portal. Despite this, parts of the broken camera were sent for examination. On August 10, 2012, there was information in the press that the case of the attack on LifeNews journalists had been brought to court. At the same time, Sobchak is not present there as the main figurant. The accusation is brought against the well-known journalist A. Krasovsky, who that evening was in the same company with Ksenia in a Moscow restaurant and took part in a showdown with correspondents.
