Ukrainian singer Tina Karol responded to Ani Lorak's accusations of bullying from the stage and showed her middle finger

During a concert in Odesa, the artist emotionally responded to these words, and at the end of her address, she made a sharp gesture towards her colleague, who now lives and works in Russia, writes Oboz.ua.

The incident occurred during one of Karol's performances. Before performing the song «Ukraine is you», the singer addressed the audience with a short speech, in which she actually reacted to Lorak's accusations.

«It is very difficult in life to make a choice and go straight, never turning around. It is very easy to take Russian rubles with your right hand, and wipe away tears with your left hand that «they won't let you into the country». I really wanted to say that,» Tina Karol said from the stage.

After these words, the singer showed her middle finger, addressing the gesture to Ani Lorak.

The reason for the public reaction was an interview with Lorak to Russian media, which appeared a few days ago.

In a conversation with propagandists, the artist stated that she was allegedly forced to leave Ukraine due to pressure and «bullying» that, according to her, she experienced after the peak of her popularity.

«It all coincided after Eurovision (Ani Lorak took 2nd place in the competition in 2008, the Russian Dima Bilan won Eurovision then. — NN). In 2008-2010, I was at the peak of my tours in Russia. I was a People's Artist of Ukraine. This award and the success that fell on me, of course, caused unpleasant feelings in some people. I got everything possible in this country. You have to move on, develop. And you are simply told: either you have to stay, or we will block you,» said Ani Lorak.

The singer also said that she allegedly felt systemic pressure. According to her, the situation looked like «toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube».

In the same interview, the Russian presenter mentioned the words of director Oleg Bodnarchuk that it was allegedly Tina Karol who did not allow Lorak to return to Ukrainian show business.

Lorak replied that such an opinion was «not groundless» and that allegedly «everyone says» about it. At the same time, she did not name specific facts that could confirm such accusations.

«When I felt this avalanche on myself, who should I go to to sort things out? I felt it on myself… But I understood that I had to move on. If they turn against you at the level of the country, what should I do?» Ani Lorak said.
