Maxim Galkin (recognized as a foreign agent in Russia) is once again at the center of a scandal, and the reason for this is the revelations of former associates from Alla Pugacheva's inner circle. This time, Sergey Zverev, the celebrity stylist who was once incredibly close to the Prima Donna, has spoken out.

A few months ago, Alla Pugacheva publicly called her marriage to Philip Kirkorov "fictitious," explaining it as a desire to help the young artist out of respect for his seriously ill mother. How she managed to conceal this "deception" for so many years is now of interest to many.

Initially, Kirkorov held back, but then he couldn't resist and harshly criticized his ex-wife and her current husband. "If she thinks it was a fiction, then that's her right. I believe it was different. You don't just get married in church and say words of love and an eternal vow to be together until the end before God. <…> We were already on the verge of breaking up — he (Maxim Galkin) just happened to come along at that moment," Philip Bedrosovich stated.

The pop king's position was supported by Sergey Zverev, who was a frequent guest at Pugacheva and Kirkorov's home. The stylist is perplexed as to why the singer now tries to distance herself from her ex-husband at every opportunity. Zverev claims that this marriage was real.

"During that period, I didn't see it as a fiction. I wouldn't say that. We were friends. I used to visit their old apartment in Filippovsky Lane. It was a family. I didn't notice anything like that at all. Not to say it was an average family. But it was a celebrity family. Philip was always with Alla if he wasn't on tour. It never even occurred to me that it was all a fiction," the showman mused.

However, when Maxim Galkin appeared in the Prima Donna's life, the flamboyant hairdresser quickly fell out of favor. According to Zverev, the comedian controlled his wife's every move, and she stopped communicating not only with the stylist but also with Kirkorov. While the relationship between Zverev and Pugacheva had not yet completely faded, she complained to him about the tantrums of her jealous chosen one.

"Then Alla broke up with Philip, and Max appeared. He didn't like our close communication with Alla. We were supposed to go to an event together, and he threw a real tantrum. I understood everything then and stepped aside," the blonde lamented.
