Fake Ads Misuse Maryna Borzhemska’s Image
Maryna Borzhemska, a well-known fitness trainer and TV host, has alerted the public to a scam involving fraudulent advertisements that falsely claim her endorsement. The perpetrators are using her photos and referencing the show 'Zvazheni ta Shchaslyvi' (the Ukrainian version of 'The Biggest Loser') to promote weight-loss drugs and vitamins. Borzhemska has made it clear she has no connection to these ads, stating that all her genuine recommendations appear exclusively on her official social media channels.
In an Instagram blog post, Borzhemska exposed the scam, emphasizing that any promotions not coming from her verified accounts are fake.
“If you see something like this on Facebook or anywhere else—it’s not me. My recommendations are only on my official pages,” she stated.This kind of identity misuse is increasingly common among public figures, making it crucial for consumers to verify the source before trusting such offers.
Personal Turmoil and New Challenges
On a personal note, Borzhemska’s life has seen upheaval in recent years. She divorced boxer and TV presenter Vyacheslav Uzelkov several years ago, with whom she shares two children. On November 9, Uzelkov passed away, and his mother, Zinaida Uzelkova, barred Borzhemska from attending the funeral. She also criticized her grandchildren, Robert and Olivia, for having little contact with their father during his final years. These events have created a tense atmosphere surrounding Borzhemska’s private life as she continues her public work.
Scams exploiting the names of celebrities are on the rise, highlighting the need for consumers to stay vigilant when evaluating advertisements. Borzhemska, a prominent media figure, is urging her followers to watch out for fake promotions, which can help prevent financial losses and protect her reputation. At the same time, the personal difficulties she is facing add new layers of challenge to her public image, potentially affecting her career and relationships during this difficult period.
