Debates on the adoption of the Domestic Violence Law have been going on for many days in Russia. While politicians and media personalities are breaking their spears about the accuracy of wording, women and children of domestic tyrants are at risk every day. At the same time, even the most successful and famous women are not immune from moral and physical violence. In our today's review - celebrities who have suffered from domestic violence.

Christina Orbakaite

Alla Pugacheva's daughter was in a civil marriage with businessman Ruslan Baysarov. It is unlikely that Christina Orbakaite at the beginning of a relationship with a man could have imagined what a nightmare this marriage would turn out to be for her. At first, she attributed her husband's attempts to control her life to the peculiarities of the national mentality, but soon the moral pressure turned into physical violence.

Ruslan Baysarov could let go of his hands not only behind the closed doors of their house, but also in public places. It came to fractures, and to eliminate the consequences of beatings, the singer had to resort to the help of plastic surgeons. Kristina Orbakaite found the strength to end this relationship and today she seems to be truly happy in her marriage with Mikhail Zemtsov.

Charlize Theron

The film star got acquainted with all the delights of life with a domestic tyrant as a child. The father of the future actress was a real family dictator, and his wife and little Charlize constantly lived in fear, because any little thing could become a reason for a family scandal with threats and beatings. As a result, the mother of the future actress could not stand it and shot her husband, trying once again to protect herself and Charlize from the beatings of Jacob Theron.

The psychological trauma she experienced has left an imprint on the entire life of the actress, and today Charlize Theron considers it her duty to take part in actions to protect the rights of women.

Elena Ksenofontova

The actress also got acquainted with the horrors of domestic violence as a child, when her stepfather mercilessly beat her mother, and kept the whole family in fear. Unfortunately, Elena Ksenofontova has had to face abuse in adulthood as well.

The marriage of the actress and lawyer Alexander Ryzhikh at first could be called a happy one. There were beautiful courtship, flowers and surprises for no reason, a wonderful relationship between a spouse and a son from a second marriage, the birth of a daughter. However, over time, other women began to appear in her husband's life. When the actress raised the issue of divorce, a real hell began in her life. The husband threw his wife on the bed and squeezed his fingers around her neck. When Elena, defensively, scratched him, he filed a statement against her with the police, saying that a fragile woman had repeatedly beat him in the presence of children. The divorce proceedings and the division of property lasted a very long time, and after that the actress was convicted of beating her husband and ordered to pay a fine.

Christina Aguilera

As a child, the famous singer experienced the weight of her father's hand. The head of the family was very quick-tempered, did not know how to control himself, and in a fit of rage he could beat not only his wife, but also his daughter. According to the recollections of the performer's mother, once the husband beat little Christina just because she behaved too loudly while her father decided to take a nap. When the mother returned home, she saw her daughter with blood all over her face. Music became for Christina Aguilera a way to get rid of difficult memories and psychological trauma received as a child.

Jasmine

The Russian singer first married at the age of 17 to businessman Vyacheslav Semenduev in 1996. At first glance, they had a happy family: the husband invested money in the promotion of an aspiring singer, she worked hard, trying to win her audience.

The truth was revealed only 10 years later, when the singer ended up in a hospital bed with a broken nose, traces of beatings and traumatic brain injury. As it turned out, Vyacheslav Semenduev repeatedly raised his hand to his wife. Before going to the hospital, Jasmine experienced a real horror: her husband beat her for three days, forcing her to give up her song rights.

Mariah Carey

Marrying music producer Tommy Motolla, the singer could hardly imagine what her life would turn into because of her husband's desire to control her young wife in everything. Throughout the four years of marriage, Mariah Carey endured humiliation and bullying from Tommy. She experienced the most severe moral and emotional pressure, her husband not only criticized her appearance and vocal abilities, but openly sneered at her.

The divorce was very difficult because of the spouses who bound not only the marriage bond, but also the joint business. The psychological trauma was so strong that the singer was able to talk about the problems in her first marriage only 12 years after the divorce.

Valeria

The Russian singer has been married to producer Alexander Shulgin for 10 years, and all these years she silently experienced bullying and beatings from her husband. Even the birth of three children did not stop him. Shulgin systematically beat Valeria, leaving huge purple bruises on her body, and could even lock his wife in a dog enclosure in winter as a measure of pressure.

The singer was afraid to tell anyone about the bullying until she realized that it could all end badly. In 2002, Valeria divorced her husband and decided to speak openly about the bullying and humiliation experienced in marriage.

Sometimes events occur in a person's life that are bitter and ashamed to remember. Women who have been victims of violence do not always find the strength to confess their nightmare. It is especially difficult to talk about this to public people. However, memories of what happened destroy a person from the inside, and the only way to preserve your psyche is to talk openly about the problem and ways to solve it.
