A well-known comedian, Nadya Dzhabrailova, who gained prominence through the Female Stand-Up format, spoke openly on the YouTube program No Comments about multiple distressing encounters in which she says she faced attempts to assault her in a car. In her account, she described a situation where a grown man acted aggressively while they were with a group of friends. She recalled that during one episode, he pulled a woman toward him and then tried to press the moment further, creating a tense and frightening scene for those present. The account continues with her saying that on another occasion, they went to a distant location, and she found herself in a position where she felt unsafe and needed to remove herself from the situation. She stated that she was 19 years old at the time and questioned why she or others around her seemed to be treated in this way, highlighting the distress and fear these experiences had caused. The host and Dzhabrailova discussed how the man tried to initiate sexual advances in the car, but she managed to resist and request to be let go. In another incident, an acquaintance among her circle began to harass her in a similar setting, but she responded by raising her voice and resisting, which prompted the person to retreat. The artist emphasized that she considered herself fortunate to have escaped harm and remarked on how surprising it was that many of her friends had endured at least one comparable incident. She noted that such experiences are not rare and that during gatherings, many people could likely name someone who engaged in harmful behavior. Her reflection suggested that if a crowd were asked to applaud those who had committed such actions, a significant portion might respond affirmatively, underscoring a pattern that many women encounter. The discussion underscored the broader issue of safety, consent, and gender-based violence that continues to affect individuals in social settings, including entertainment spaces.
