In the realm of Russian show business, Lolita Milyavskaya publicly supported Alla Pugacheva after criticisms from Sergei Penkin, highlighting how public figures often face harsh judgments that go beyond artistic critique. According to reports from Prima, the singer suggested that Pugacheva had never been invited to certain Christmas Gatherings, despite a long-standing friendly relationship between the two. In social media commentary, Lolita argued that those who condemn renowned artists are sometimes the ones who lack practical understanding or effort, framing the dispute as a clash between personal choices and public expectations.

During a YouTube program called Legend, Penkin admitted he did not fully understand why he was never invited to the Christmas gatherings. He suggested that a question should be posed to the organizers to uncover the reasons behind the selections, adding that many artists who performed with Pugacheva were not involved in these events for various reasons. He recommended that celebrities focus on presenting themselves authentically, rather than chasing invitations, arguing that personal integrity often matters more than public appearances.

The musician characterized himself as outspoken and noted that several colleagues in the entertainment industry have shown caution or restraint when engaging with him. He claimed that he does not always know how to form close friendships with other celebrities, especially when his outspoken nature might contrast with the more guarded public personas of some in the industry. Pugacheva, he implied, has historically chosen paths that align with her own vision, which may not always align with the expectations of others in the scene. (Source: StarHit)
