The Moscow Zamoskvoretsky Court accepted a lawsuit filed by musician Yegor Creed against the Safe Internet League and its head, Ekaterina Mizulina. The case concerns the protection of honor, dignity and business reputation. Court officials did not disclose detailed information about the dispute in open proceedings (source: MK).
News of the claim emerged on November 19, when Creed took action against Mizulina, alleging reputational harm over statements labeling him as “the country’s main fraudster” in connection with online casino advertising. The filing was interpreted by observers as a request to restore Creed’s name and curb unverified accusations (source: MK).
Earlier, Mizulina had stated that Creed’s Twitch account faced restrictions due to alleged illegal casino advertising; this claim became part of the broader narrative surrounding Creed and media coverage (source: MK).
In June 2023, Creed also pursued legal action against the Mash Telegram channel, seeking protection for honor, dignity and business reputation. The artist demanded compensation amounting to four million rubles in relation to reports about his participation fee in a project called “Important Conversations” and related publicity (source: Mash Telegram channel reporting cited by multiple outlets).
Reports on the confrontation appeared in various outlets, underscoring ongoing disputes about media coverage, advertising, and the reputational impact on public figures (source: socialbites.ca, as cited in coverage).
Previously, media outlets noted other legal considerations involving high-profile figures, illustrating a landscape where public reputations are frequently challenged in court and through online channels. The current case adds another layer to the ongoing discussion about accountability, media ethics, and the responsibilities of organizations that publish content about celebrities (source: MK; multiple outlets cited).
Observers emphasize the importance of balancing free expression with protections against false statements, especially in fast-moving online environments where sensational headlines can spread rapidly. The court’s decision will likely influence how similar cases are approached in the future and may affect how media outlets frame stories involving artists and online personalities (source: MK; socialbites.ca references).
