Sergei Pudovkin, who directs the singer Lada Dance, rejected claims about fundraising for her treatment as a malicious fabrication. He labeled the report a heinous lie and pledged to address the matter with law enforcement. A formal statement would be prepared for submission to the police, with Pudovkin stating openly that there is no truth to the allegations and emphasizing that the singer does not require funds—only emotional support from fans and supporters.

The director noted that a separate, unnamed website had previously published information suggesting fundraising for related purposes. After circulating for a period, the site was subsequently blocked, he added. This sequence of online posts appears to have prompted concern among fans and media outlets about the singer’s wellbeing and the possible need for financial assistance.

Meanwhile, Lada Dance was slated to perform at concerts scheduled for the end of August. These appearances were organized to go ahead even as the star recovered from a traffic incident, underscoring a commitment to her professional commitments and the fans who were looking forward to the performances.

The incident in question occurred on August 5 on the M-2 Crimea highway in the Moscow region, where a collision involved three vehicles. Four people sustained injuries, including Lada Dance, who happened to be in a taxi at the time. The singer’s team described the injuries as not life-threatening and noted that she was receiving medical attention and monitoring following the crash.

Additionally, an earlier flight from Istanbul to Moscow reportedly involved an emergency landing caused by a disruptive passenger. Details about the event indicated a need for rapid response from airline staff and emergency crews, highlighting the demanding nature of travel for public figures and the heightened attention such incidents attract.
