A series of social media moments linked two public figures to provocative knife-dance content. A well-known journalist and TV host, Ksenia Sobchak, shared a video similar to a celebrity moment that previously sparked online debate, posting it on a platform owned by Meta. The clip drew attention because the original post had been flagged as controversial by some audiences and observers in several regions.
In the edited appearance, Sobchak wore a tailored cream ensemble featuring a blazer and a slit skirt, paired with elegant earrings and cream-toned pointed heels. Her hair was pulled into a low ponytail, and the makeup was styled for an evening look. To capture the performance, she selected a home goods store as a backdrop and arranged for the use of long knives as props.
The incident was revisited when another public figure named Ilya Sobolev echoed the infamous knife-dance narrative, sharing a similar piece of content across his channels. This repetition underscores how quickly certain performances can be echoed by different creators, amplifying reach and discussion.
The original material, which featured a pop star performing a knife-themed dance, circulated as a video to her social media following in early October. In subsequent uploads, viewers pointed out a bandage on the artist’s hand and speculated that an accidental cut might have occurred during the performance.
Law enforcement later responded to the situation at the artist’s residence after reports suggested potential injuries to the arms and legs during a knife-related video. Officers noted they received a call expressing concern about the artist’s well-being and recent online activity. Authorities spoke with the star while she was at home, addressing the situation directly with her and her representatives.
Earlier, Sobchak provided a response to a public figure who had expressed a willingness to engage in a dispute on behalf of a political cause. The exchange highlighted the ongoing discussion about how famous personalities navigate sensitive content online and the potential consequences of provocative performances.
