Russian ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, who was at the center of the scandal on Aeroflot flight SU 325 from the Maldives, and her companion Sergei told Izvestia regarding the essence of what happened. According to the artist, she intends to sue the crew member, who, according to her, provoked the conflict.
“Nastya and I were sitting on the plane. There were a lot of children there, and they all came up just to sit and talk. Nastya gave them some gifts. And at some point I brought coffee and handed it to Nastya, she pulled off the mask and started drinking it, ”said Sergey.
According to him, following that, a steward named Ivan approached the couple with a camera in his hands and began to film what was happening. The accompanying ballerina explained that the flight attendant began to complain that Volochkova did not have a mask, although she was simply lowered.
“I take the camera, move the camera to the plane, 90% [пассажиров сидят] without masks. The steward began to be rude, to pull on the conflict. The children were scared, ”said Sergey.
“I’m just Volochkova. Half the plane sat without masks, got to the bottom of Volochkova, ”the ballerina emphasized.
According to Izvestia’s interlocutors, upon arrival they spent five hours at the police station, following which they were released. The ballerina noted that she intends to sue.
“I will not leave the situation like this, I will sue this Ivan, this is a provocation, damage to my business reputation, my time, slander,” Volochkova concluded.
On January 18, it was reported that Anastasia Volochkova made a scandal on a plane en route from the Maldives to Moscow, because of the reluctance to wear a mask. According to passengers, the scandal lasted an hour, and it was not really possible to influence the ballerina. The author of the video posted on Instagram with the incident stressed that the passengers were afraid that the plane would make an unscheduled landing.
