Max Barskyi Fires Back at Psychologist Over Relationship Rumors

The Fallout Between Natalia Kholodenko, Max Barskyi, and Alan Badoev

According to РБК-Україна — Lite: In a podcast hosted by Vasyl Tymoshenko, psychologist Natalia Kholodenko stirred controversy by commenting on the Ukrainian showbiz scene, specifically referencing Max Barskyi and Alan Badoev with hints about their personal relationship. This sparked a fierce response from Barskyi, who branded Kholodenko a fraud and a pseudo-psychologist, and went on to release a video sharply criticizing her professional conduct. Alan Badoev also chimed in with sarcastic remarks, casting doubt on her reliability as a therapist.

During the podcast, Kholodenko alleged that Barskyi and Badoev are romantically involved. Barskyi took to his social media, particularly in Instagram Stories, to denounce her as a scammer and an unqualified psychologist. He further clarified that he has no personal acquaintance with Kholodenko, Badoev, or others she mentioned in her commentary.

'I wonder when the profession of a psychologist turned into gossip from some backyard busybody.' - Max Barskyi

Barskyi also emphasized that he keeps his personal life off social media because he believes it should stay private. He remarked: 'Honestly, watching her now bask in the attention from these rumors, I’m always wary of people like that. They’re parasites who’ll do anything for your money.' In response to his video, Kholodenko commented that Barskyi is 'lacking in creativity.'

Alan Badoev’s Take

Alan Badoev also weighed in, referring to Kholodenko as a 'bubbly lady.' He expressed skepticism about her professional abilities, advising people not to seek her help because she cannot cure anyone.

'I hope you’re not going to her, right? Who would even get treatment from her? I think it’s best to avoid her, because she won’t heal you.' - Alan Badoev

This incident involving Natalia Kholodenko, Max Barskyi, and Alan Badoev highlights the growing tension between Ukrainian entertainment figures and mental health professionals. It underscores the need for professionalism and discretion when discussing personal matters, as well as how public figures react to criticism. Such debates can shape public perception of psychologists and their credibility in the media landscape.

In light of the heated exchanges between Barskyi and Kholodenko, it's worth noting how similar controversies have unfolded in the entertainment industry. A recent incident involving a singer's sharp rebuttal to a psychologist also highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding personal narratives in the public eye. This context adds depth to Barskyi's strong stance against Kholodenko's claims.
