Singer Kamaliya Defends Ex-Producer of Polyakova After She Files Police Complaint Against Polyakova's Husband

Standing Together in a Difficult Time

According to Главком: Iryna Kovalska, a former producer for Ukrainian singer Olya Polyakova, has filed a complaint with Swiss police after being publicly attacked by Polyakova's husband, Vadym Buryakovsky. The conflict erupted when Buryakovsky gave an interview in which he harshly criticized Kovalska, using negative labels that she says damaged her reputation. In response, Kovalska took legal action, stressing that such public condemnation threatens her professional standing.

'When someone is publicly called a "fraud," a "liar," and a "blackmailer," and is essentially put on trial in the court of public opinion, that becomes a matter of reputation.' Iryna Kovalska

Kovalska, who now lives in Switzerland, received unexpected support from singer Kamaliya, who reached out to her during the scandal. 'When the whole thing with Buryakovsky started, Kamaliya wrote to me and reminded me that I had directed her music video "In the Style of Techno." She has always been sincere and warm-she is the most decent person I know,' Kovalska said. It is worth noting that more than a decade ago, Kovalska sold video materials to Polyakova, but the singer only paid half of their agreed value.

Why Reputation Matters

For context, Iryna Kovalska is also known online as Rozalia Romanova and holds a degree in sound and video engineering. Vadym Buryakovsky is 63 years old and has been married to Olya Polyakova for many years. Kovalska directed Kamaliya's first-ever music video back in 1997, filming it at Kyiv's Zoloti Vorota and Kharkivska metro stations.

This incident highlights how crucial reputation is in creative professions, where public criticism can have serious career consequences. Kamaliya's support shows that in the entertainment industry, personal connections and loyalty matter just as much as professional ties-and they can make all the difference during tough times. The conflict between Kovalska and Buryakovsky may also affect future relationships within the Ukrainian show business scene and beyond.

This recent conflict not only sheds light on Iryna Kovalska's challenges but also raises questions about the dynamics within the music industry.
