Ukrainian journalist Natalia Tur again got into a scandal after an interview with a celebrity. The presenter decided to ask the singer MamaRika why she supported the launch of the Russian-language YouTube channel of the daughter of blogger Stasya Makeeva and whether she suddenly plays cartoons for her son in the language of the aggressor country, which is why she ran into criticism online.

Users began to note that such questions are as strange as possible, given the fact that the artist has been creating songs exclusively in Nightingale for a long time, and someone even called her activity a provocation. Harsh comments appeared under the corresponding video on the Radio Lux Instagram page..

The journalist began her conversation with MamaRika by mentioning millionaire blogger Stas Makeeva. Earlier this year, she launched a YouTube channel for her daughter Michelle, where content is published in Russian. This influencer’s decision was criticized by many network users, but there were also those who supported it. The list of the latter includes MamaRika, who left a comment under the post with the corresponding news: “Oh, it’s a thrill”.

Natalya Tur wanted to know why the performer supported children's Russian-language content, to which she received the answer: “I have to answer this question? I have my own opinion, I expressed it in the comment. Whatever I say now, everything will be against me. I supported the child. This was a comment for her because I know it was her dream. I believe that children are children, so if her dream came true, I wanted to support her"

Next, the journalist asked whether MamaRika uses content in the language of the aggressor’s country while raising her own son David. The singer noted that even during her pregnancy, she and her husband made a clear decision: after the birth of the child, only Ukrainian would be heard in their house.

“Sometimes YouTube gives us Russian content, but David says: “Mom, it’s in Russian, switch it”. We are strict with this. And I will say again that I can only be responsible for my child and family. My child consumes exclusively Ukrainian content and speaks exclusively Ukrainian. This is my contribution to the future of our land. And for those in the family, this is solely their responsibility. Therefore, the questions you ask look like a provocation,” the singer said sharply.

MamaRika's violent reaction to the interview was supported by many netizens. The journalist was accused of tactlessness, and her questions were called very strange:.

“How did this presenter get so annoying with her provocative and often tactless questions?. Especially to MamaRika, who has been speaking Ukrainian since “Star Factory”.

“A very unpleasant journalist, and all her questions are incorrect”.

“Very strange questions for a singer who has been speaking and singing in Ukrainian since “Star Factory”, and constantly broadcasts how important it is to consume Ukrainian content using the example of her child.”.

And, of course, the comments could not go without mentioning the previous scandal in which Natalya Tur got into. At the Muzvar Awards, the presenter asked the widow of ADAM frontman Mikhail Klimenko, Sasha Norova, a question about her emotional state after the loss of her husband. The artist could not hold back her tears and answered with a trembling voice: “I just have a storm and pain in my soul, but I have to live.”.

Seeing Norova’s emotions, the journalist tried to support her and hugged her, but she did not stop raising the question of life after the death of her loved one..

This act of Natalia Tur caused a real resonance in the network, and the situation was aggravated by the fact that she received an award in the “Music Journalism of the Year” category.. The presenter was actively accused of tactlessness and lack of empathy, and even observers joined in the criticism.
