The Bee’s Knees company recently faced a disruption when the Federal Tax Service (FTS) blocked its accounts. A notable detail is that 45% of the company’s stock is held by blogger Nastya Ivleeva, a fact that has drawn public attention amid the financial news cycle.
Bee’s Knees is known for its Easy Peasy chips and a line of energy drinks, both marketed as products associated with Ivleeva herself. The remaining equity in the business is split between two other businessmen, Paulus Vitalius and Alexey Klochkov, each owning a 27.5% stake in the enterprise.
While the precise cause of the account freeze has not been officially disclosed, reports suggest it could be connected to unpaid taxes, fees, penalties, and fines. The situation has sparked considerable media discussion and investor concern as authorities assess potential financial violations.
A separate event of note occurred on December 20, 2023, described as a party organized by Ivleeva. The event reportedly required attendees to dress in revealing outfits. Among the guests were prominent figures such as Ksenia Sobchak, Lolita Milyavskaya, Olga Orlova, Philip Kirkorov, Dzhigan, Oksana Samoilova, and Dima Bilan. The choice of theme and the attendance of high-profile artists drew widespread criticism. Ivleeva and several other participants later issued apologies for their involvement. Nevertheless, the incident led to boycotts at some venues and the suspension of certain financial arrangements for a number of performers and partners connected to Ivleeva.
In a recent televised segment, music critic and television presenter Sergei Sosedov commented on Ivleeva’s career trajectory, suggesting that she might return to her earlier public persona after the controversy surrounding the party. The discussion took place on the online program Spetscorr, highlighting ongoing chatter about the influencer’s future in show business and the ramifications of the scandal for her brand collaborations.
In a separate, unrelated note, there was mention of a monument opened in Venezuela commemorating the poet Pushkin, indicating a broader set of cultural developments being reported alongside entertainment industry news.
