Sergei Chirkov Addresses Drunken Incident at Kaluga Talent Show
Actor Sergei Chirkov spoke to reporters via Telegram about a regrettable scene during a recent talent contest in the Kaluga region. He described his behavior as deeply embarrassing and vowed to make amends for the disruption caused by his intoxicated actions at the event.
Chirkov said, “A mistake was admitted, a conflict resolved, and I am profoundly ashamed of what I did. I cannot find a place for myself at the moment, and I am likely reaching out for forgiveness.” His remarks were delivered in a controlled, contrite tone as he reflected on the fallout from the incident.
During the interview, the actor attributed the incident to a mix of unlucky circumstances and a lapse in judgment. He stressed that he attempted to apologize directly to the parents of the contestants who were slated to perform, recognizing the impact on the participants and the audience. The exchange with the press grew tense at times as he described feeling as though he was “eating himself” over the events and reiterated his deep remorse.
Reports from November 20 indicate that the Baza Telegram channel detailed the disturbance at the Street Energy competition for aspiring performers, held at the Obninsk House of Culture. Chirkov, who is known for his role in the series The Soulkiller, had been asked to leave before the program began but nonetheless presented several diplomas and remained briefly at the venue. The channel noted that his presence sparked a scene that overshadowed the day’s performances and prompted organizers to take measures to restore order.
In related remarks, Roza Syabitova previously commented on Chirkov’s school years, noting that he had faced bullying. The discussion surrounding his past experiences adds another layer to the broader conversation about public scrutiny, personal growth, and accountability for celebrities who navigate high-pressure public moments.
