Journalist Sukhanov defended actor Temlyak: why it caused a scandal

Ukrainian journalist Alexey Sukhanov took it upon himself to defend the actor of the Podil Theater, Kostyantin Temlyak, who was accused of domestic violence and indecent behavior. Photographer Anastasia Solovieva spread the accusations, but Sukhanov believes that a person should be judged by their actions in the present time, not by past mistakes.

'I am against violence, but does that mean I have never used it? No! Nevertheless, I have learned from my mistakes. This is the essence of human development!'

Sukhanov emphasized that Temlyak is willing to take responsibility for his actions before the law and morality.

Criticism online directed at Sukhanov

The journalist's words sparked anger in the comments. Other users emphasize that mockery and crimes are not the same thing and highlighted clear evidence captured in photographs that demonstrate Temlyak's indecent behavior.

'This fact was revealed by the woman herself in screenshots that are hard to fake. We are outraged and demand accountability!'

Sukhanov is reminded that apologies without sincerity and understanding of the committed crimes are insufficient. Supporting victims of violence should be at the forefront in this situation.

According to online criticism, it is important to prioritize support for victims of violence and pay attention to the evidence of indecent behavior in Temlyak's case, regardless of his past mistakes and what Sukhanov has said.
