Kirkorov killed a man in America. Kirkorov hushed up the murder case. About marriage with Pugacheva

The press learned that pop singer Philip Kirkorov was accused in the United States of causing fatal injury to an elderly concert security guard. The murder case was heard in New Jersey state court. But in Russia, thanks to money, it was possible to prevent the hype. However, the truth has now come out.

According to the materials of the case, which are in the editorial office of the Life portal (it became the main source of this information), we are talking about the events of 2004, when Kirkorov gave concerts in Atlantic City. But it became known about them in Russia only now.

The prosecution alleged that the artist, having performed on the stage of the Trump Taj Mahal casino, owned by Donald Trump, went down the stairs to the audience and roughly pushed away 70-year-old security guard Thomas Rogers. He fell, hit his head, was hospitalized, then for a long time suffered from headaches and died in 2009. His relatives initiated a trial in a New Jersey state court.

Kirkorov himself during litigation explained that because of the bright light, he simply did not see the guard on the stairs and therefore collided with him. However, Rogers' colleagues claimed that the singer first grabbed the guard and then pushed, that is, he did it on purpose.

The court documents also noted that Russian star did not try to lift the fallen man, "stood and laughed", and then continued his speech.

In September 2009, the court ruled that Kirkorov was partially guilty in the tragic incident with Rogers, but that the security guard also made a mistake by violating the instructions on the rules of work at the concert. On September 10, 2009, the jury delivered a verdict that the singer did not attack or beat the guard, and also established in the nature of the incident "Rogers' 51% negligence and Kirkorov's 49%".

The guard's family filed an appeal, but the court of second instance, although it stated a number of errors during the first hearing of the case, upheld the decision.

Now Philip Kirkorov declares that he has become much more restrained than before. At least a few incidents are known when he lost his temper, however, he attacked mainly girls. One of them, drunk, he hit during a concert. Also known is the 2004 incident with the “pink blouse”: Kirkorov insulted journalist Irina Aroyan during a press conference in Rostov-on-Don, because he did not like her question about in large numbers remakes in his repertoire. The scandal cost the singer a big sum of money, and also led to a temporary boycott, which was announced by many media outlets. In 2010, the artist quarreled with Marina Yablokova, assistant director of the Golden Gramophone ceremony. Kirkorov slapped the woman, pulled her hair and kicked her. Yablokova sued him, but in the end, Kirkorov made a public apology, explaining that he was suffering " serious illness”, and the conflict ended with a settlement agreement.

Singer Philip Kirkorov, who became a guest of the Secret for a Million program with Lera Kudryavtseva, decided to reveal the secret that he had kept for many years even from the closest people. The king of pop agreed to answer the most complex issue programs worth one million rubles.

Philip Kirkorov said that several years ago he was under investigation in the United States due to an incident that occurred during his show at a major casino in New Jersey. The singer was checked for involvement in the death of a security guard, and he was threatened with life imprisonment.

“In this situation, I was an accomplice in the tragedy. It happened not through my fault, but with my participation, - Philip Kirkorov began the story. - In 2004, during a show at the Taj Mahal casino, and this is a huge hall for 10 thousand people, two guards were assigned to me - one young, the other was about seventy years old. I went to the hall. Descending the stairs, I walked into the darkness. The illuminator did not illuminate the hall, and I went nowhere, by feel. Bright spotlights blinded me ... The song was dynamic, and I have so much energy that I can demolish any obstacle at this moment on the go. I go down the stairs and face an obstacle in the form of a person nose to nose, I instinctively discard it and move on. It turned out that the man fell on his back, but I no longer saw what happened to him. After the concert, they told me, so with a laugh, that, they say, you knocked down a guard. I asked if he was all right. The organizers assured me that everything was fine.”

In fact, the guard Thomas Roger was hospitalized with a bruise on his arm and head. A few years later, the man died of a stroke after open-heart surgery. Relatives of the deceased tried to prove that there was a connection between the fall from the stairs and the stroke that led to death. They sued Philip Kirkorov and the organizers of the show, who failed to ensure the security of the security during work.

“I was handed a summons when I came back to perform at the Taj Mahal,” continues Philip Kirkorov. - Investigative experiments and trials have begun. I flew many times from Russia to America to participate in them. All these years I have proven not to be involved in this trouble that happened on my show. But I still blame myself. I think that if not for that concert, the uncle would still live and live. I understood that the trouble started with me, but I didn’t do it on purpose.”

In 2010, a jury trial fully acquitted Philip Kirkorov.

The singer also admitted that he wanted to financially help the family of the deceased security guard. But the lawyer dissuaded him from this step, arguing that this is not accepted in America, and Kirkorov's act could be misinterpreted.

Recalling this story from his life, Philip Kirkorov noted that his family would learn about it by watching the program "Secret for a Million". All these years, he did not tell any of his loved ones about what he had experienced.

Relatives of the deceased initiated legal proceedings

Russian singer Philip Kirkorov was accused in the United States of causing fatal injury to an elderly concert security guard. According to media reports, the case was heard in a New Jersey state court.

According to the case file, which became available to the editors of the Life portal, we are talking about the events of 2004, when Kirkorov gave concerts in Atlantic City. The prosecution alleged that the artist, having performed on the stage of the Trump Taj Mahal casino, owned by Donald Trump, went down the stairs to the audience and roughly pushed away 70-year-old security guard Thomas Rogers. He fell, hit his head, was hospitalized, then suffered from headaches for a long time and died in 2009. His relatives initiated a trial in a New Jersey state court.

As stated in the publication, Kirkorov himself during the trial explained that because of the bright light he simply did not see the guard on the stairs and therefore collided with him. However, Rogers' colleagues claimed that the singer first grabbed the guard and then pushed, that is, he did it on purpose.

The court documents also noted that the Russian star did not try to lift the fallen man, “stood and laughed,” and then continued to speak.

The guard's family filed an appeal, but the court of second instance, although it stated a number of errors during the first hearing of the case, upheld the decision.

Exactly a week ago, the host of the program, Lera Kudryavtseva, managed to ask the king Russian stage only five questions. The singer first showed a motor home, spoke about finding a place for a mansion and relationships with a surrogate mother of his children.

The second part of the program was not without questions about Philip Kirkorov's relationship with Alla Pugacheva. The singer, who was rather tired of this topic, at first did not hide his annoyance: “What can I say, it was a fantastic ten years. We traveled a lot, experienced joyful and absolutely crazy days. Now, according to the artist, they are friends with families. “I have two children, she has two. She is a fantastic mom. On the this stage we have a lot in common, so we communicate with families,” Philip emphasized. The singer does not hide the fact that while still married to the Diva, he dreamed of children, because he believed that they could strengthen and save their union. “And if then, 20 years ago, surrogacy was available. Would you use it?" - asked Lera Kudryavtseva. Philip answered this question simply: “We didn’t think about it then. Everything has its time".

Especially Philip Kirkorov focused on the fact that Maxim Galkin did not take his wife away from him: “Maxim became close with Alla when we already realized that our relationship had come to an end. At the same time I got Nastya Stotskaya. If for Alla Maxim became a husband, then for me Nastya became creative project in which I put my all. It helped keep me from going crazy." After these words, Anastasia Stotskaya herself entered the studio of the program, who supported the topic of the amazing resemblance of her child to Philip Kirkorov's son and spoke about the artist's courtship. “My whole family fell in love with him,” the singer said.

The main intrigue of the program was, of course, an envelope with a question for a million rubles. Before handing over the envelope to Philip Kirkorov, Lera Kudryavtseva noted: “It took us six months to collect all the evidence. Day after day we conducted our own investigation. You've been keeping this secret for 13 years." "Where does it come from?" - Philip asked with tension in his voice and added that his secret is worth much more than a million rubles and even the closest people do not know about it.

Finally, the singer decided to reveal the secret: "I became unwillingly a participant in a situation that claimed the life of a person." The host of the program said that she had a resolution in her hands Supreme Court New Jersey July 16, 2010: “This is a felony murder case. The accused Philip Kirkorov. The singer interrupted the presenter and himself spoke about the incident that claimed the life of a person. “It happened at my big solo concert at the Taj Mahal. By the way, it was after this incident that such a large team went on tour with me. But then everything was different. 2004, I give a concert in a huge hall for 6-10 thousand people. Two people were assigned to me, who kept order in the hall. On the front line was a rather elderly guard. I pushed him away when I went down to the hall. Spotlights blinded me, I couldn't see anything. The guard fell, and I did not even immediately understand what had happened. Then his relatives sued me,” Philip Kirkorov said with a tremor in his voice. Lera Kudryavtseva clarified that the resolution said “fell down the stairs, hit his head on the concrete floor and lost consciousness.” Shortly thereafter, the man died of a stroke. The investigation in this criminal case lasted for six years. The fate of Philip Kirkorov in 2010 was decided by the jury, who voted 51 "for" in relation to 49 "against" the singer's innocence.
