Druzhinina explained the unpleasant incident with Makeeva on the red carpet

“The journalists blew it out of proportion”

An unexpected scandal broke out after the premiere of Svetlana Druzhinina’s film. A video of an unpleasant incident involving director and actress Anastasia Makeeva was posted online. Seeing Druzhinina on the red carpet, Nastya rushed to her with hugs.

– Svetlana Sergeevna, can I hug you? – Makeeva asked.

The squad suddenly put her hand forward. The director not only did not allow herself to be hugged, but also did not even take pictures with the artist together. Immediately after this, the acting community began to whisper that there was a serious conflict between Druzhinina and Makeeva. Journalists recalled how in one of the interviews the director said that Makeeva was constantly late for filming.

MK correspondents turned to Druzhinina for clarification.

– The journalists inflated this! – said Svetlana Sergeevna. – I love Nastya very much. She both acted with me and worked at the festival. On stage that evening, she and I hugged and kissed. She is a very talented person and actress! There is no conflict between us.

-What happened on the path? – asks Druzhinina. – To be honest, I don’t remember this moment. Maybe there was some awkwardness, maybe she just interrupted my speech, so I reacted that way. But in fact, I respect and appreciate Nastya and work with her with pleasure. She dances, sings, and acts as a presenter. And we will continue to cooperate in the future. Next year I will definitely invite her to my festival.
