home The scandal between Joseph Prigogine and his ex-wife did not leave their children indifferent, whom, according to the producer himself, their mother wants to leave without living space. 18-year-old Danaya Prigozhina, after making a family conflict public, opened up on social networks and shared details family drama

. According to the girl, her father never paid enough attention to them and was ashamed of the offspring from his first marriage. “He was ashamed of us all his life, is this normal? - Danaya Prigogine complains. - For me, parents should love, and not abandon in difficult times. In public, “my children,” but without the public, “you are not a daughter, a creature, a bitch” - the words of dad! All this is a lie! I am 18, my brother is 26, and we have the right to decide for ourselves. My mother doesn’t drink, as he says, she’s adequate.”

His lawyer Sergei Zhorin immediately stood up for the 46-year-old producer.

“You shouldn’t be doing that. He loves you and cares,” writes Sergei. - Joseph is worried that you and Dima will remain on the street. I know what I'm talking about." Let us remind you that Joseph Prigozhin’s ex-wife Elena unexpectedly decided to sell two apartments bought by the producer for his son Dmitry and daughter Danae. According to the concerned father, the mother convinced the children that it was necessary to sell the property so that all family members could live separately. However, as it turned out, the housewife also supports her new man - security guard Dmitry, who this moment

serving time in the Stavropol military colony.

“Super.ru”, 04/28/15, “Iosif Prigozhin’s daughter Lisa: Danaya, stop humiliating your father” The scandal between 46-year-old Joseph Prigozhin, his ex-wife and their common children is acquiring new details. After the post in social network the producer's daughter, 18-year-old Danae, with a statement that her father was ashamed of his children all his life, there was a response from youngest daughter

“Please tell me, do you consider your behavior normal? Do you think it's okay to lie in public? We are together on all holidays, at Lera’s concerts together, we also went on vacation to Switzerland and Dubai together. And you lie, humiliating the person who gave you life and who has invested so much in you that no one will ever invest. You blindly believe in something unknown and refuse to see how much dad loves you. But you betray him and continue to lie. Please stop disgracing our surname, I also wear it, only with pride,” writes Joseph Prigozhin’s daughter Lisa. His wife Valeria and designer Igor Gulyaev have already expressed support for Joseph in the comments.

Lisa sent an angry message to her sister

The girl deleted the touching message that Danaya addressed to her father on his birthday from her page on the social network. In addition, Prigozhin’s middle daughter is going to get rid of the surname of her once close person in the near future.

Bloggers also rushed to join in the family scandal. Internet users urge the daughter of a famous producer to think sensibly and accuse her of hypocrisy.

The director of Joseph Prigozhin's production center, Stas Kalinkin, also accuses Danaya of lying. The girl deleted her post congratulating her father from her Instagram page, but a similar message remained on the Vkontakte social network. According to Comrade Joseph, Prigozhin’s daughter would not have congratulated her father so touchingly if her accusations were true.

“I won’t offend my boss. Tell me, please, did you lie on April 2 in order to receive another tranche of money from dad by publishing such a congratulation? (which you deleted from Instagram, but in your stupidity forgot about VKontakte). Or are you lying now because you are in debt and are participating in fraudulent schemes with your mother?” - Stas Kalinkin, director of Joseph Prigozhin’s production center, is indignant. “There simply cannot be any other option. You write that “dad was ashamed of us.” First, speak for yourself. Dima, unlike you, received a higher education and has no complaints against dad, and he would hardly allow himself to make up such nonsense. Or maybe dad was ashamed and that’s why he invited you to his concerts in the Kremlin and posted your photos on social networks? Or is it just jealousy, with reactive speed developing into envy and hatred towards Valeria’s children? Stop it immediately. You know that I saved all the payments, orders and receipts from cool iPhones, treadmills and other goods that you and your mother immediately resold. Stop living like this. You are 18, Dima is 26, and you are still on your dad’s neck. For God’s sake, so be it, we have resigned ourselves, but we did not sign up to support your mother’s suitors for many years and sponsor daily banquets and multimillion-dollar loans. And in general, it should be a shame to make any claims against your father, having several apartments a five-minute walk from the Kremlin.”

“Super.ru”, 04/28/15, “ Ex-wife Joseph Prigozhin deprived their children of common living space"

Russian producer Joseph Prigozhin has been happily married to singer Valeria for more than ten years and is raising her three children with her. However, providing for the heirs from previous unions is still entirely on his shoulders. So, having separated fourteen years ago from his first wife, housewife Elena Prigozhina, the 46-year-old producer purchased real estate for their common children. It's about about two apartments in Moscow, purchased for son Dmitry and daughter Danae. However, as SUPER managed to find out, 49-year-old Elena unexpectedly decided to sell the living space without the knowledge of her children, and also without informing Prigozhin himself.

As it turned out, all this time the unemployed woman was taking consumer loans in banks. She paid for them with money that Joseph sent to support the children. Several times she turned to her ex-husband with a request to give her a large sum, supposedly to provide for her family and pay off the bank. After the money arrived in the woman’s account, the producer invariably lost contact with his ex-wife.

The ex-wife of Joseph Prigozhin - Elena

Moreover, according to relatives, Elena Evgenievna began living with a 28-year-old security guard named Dmitry. A young man originally from Stavropol is now serving time in a local military colony.

Today, the woman owes the bank about three million rubles. Moreover, immediately after receiving a large sum from Prigozhin, Elena, instead of paying off the loan, left for another city and disappeared from contact.

Elena Prigozhina's new lover is a 28-year-old security guard named Dmitry

According to Prigozhin’s lawyer Sergei Zhorin, in February of this year Elena sold one of the apartments in the center of Moscow. The one-room apartment on Pokrovka Street was originally intended for Joseph’s eldest son, 26-year-old Dmitry. The producer’s children also own another apartment in the same building, which, according to relatives, is also currently up for sale.

Zhorin confirmed that the living space intended for his client’s children was sold by his ex-wife. In addition, the producer’s eldest son did not even know that he was no longer the owner of the apartment.

Yes, some time ago Joseph Prigozhin actually contacted me, concerned that his children might lose the housing that he left for them when he separated from his wife,” the lawyer told SUPER the details of the family scandal. “I started looking up information and found out that one of the apartments had already been sold. According to information from the real estate register, the apartment intended for Dmitry belongs to the organization, and he himself does not know about it. According to him, Elena explained to the children that she wanted to sell the apartments so that they could leave and live apart. According to preliminary information, the living space was registered in Elena’s name illegally. I plan to wait for Prigozhin to make a decision: to bring her to justice or not, but there is every reason for this.

Children of Joseph Prigozhin from his first marriage - Dmitry and Danae

SUPER contacted Joseph Prigozhin himself, who said that he was shocked by the actions of his ex-wife.

I wouldn't like to talk about it. “God will be her judge,” Joseph shared his point of view regarding the family conflict with SUPER. - It seems to me that I acted like a man - I left in only shorts and left them everything, including the land in the Domodedovo area, which, as it turned out, she had already sold to someone. The children are already of age. I am offended and hurt that I was fooled all this time. I bought the property not for her, but for my children. I'm just shocked! I'm afraid that she simply zombified the children and they were forced to sign a waiver.

The producer also noted that he regularly helped his son and daughter with money. In addition, his ex-wife threatens his assistants over the phone.

All these years I did everything to ensure that my children were not disadvantaged in any way. He provided, paid for their education, financed, paid for everything, including rent. But I couldn’t even imagine that this money went past them to support Elena’s new men! - Joseph is indignant. “I don’t know what’s in this man’s head.” She turns my children against me solely with the goal of making them sign documents and quickly escape to Stavropol. This news took me by surprise: I am now in China with Valeria and I learn this from you. In addition, today my assistant Stanislav called me and said that Lena called him. She promised that “her new friends will deal with him if he sticks his nose into something that’s not his own business.” I didn’t talk to her because they wouldn’t answer the phone on me. I will look into this issue in the legal field and look for a civilized solution. I'm afraid that she herself might become a victim of some criminal fraud!

Born on April 2, 1969 in the city of Makhachkala. Father - Prigozhin Igor Matveevich (born 1938). Mother - Prigozhina Dinara Yakubovna (born 1940).

My labor activity Joseph Prigogine (the third husband of singer Valeria) started at the age of 12. At first he worked as a hairdresser in his hometown.

The production center "KNOX MUSIC" was founded in 2000.

Personal life

Joseph Prigozhin and Leila Fattakhova met about twelve years ago. She worked as a manager for the selection of artists at the Soyuz company. And then unknown to anyone, Prigozhin served as director of Vakhtang Kikabidze. Eyewitnesses recall that at that time Yosya always wore a suit and glasses to look respectable, and combed his hair (yes!) back.

Prigozhin was captivated by the dark-eyed beauty Leila. Joseph became a frequent visitor to the Soyuz. According to the recollections of her colleagues, Leila avoided the strange admirer for almost a year. No one could imagine that this oriental girl, who blushed at swear words, would ever reciprocate Joseph’s feelings. After all, Leila was considered the first beauty in the “Union”; it would be difficult to imagine them together.

But Prigogine turned out to be a good psychologist; over the course of a year he studied the girl, his courtship became more thoughtful. And if you constantly see a person with sparkling eyes who never stops repeating how much he loves and suffers, then sooner or later you will say “yes.”

In the fourth year of their relationship, Liza was born... And three years later, Leila left Prigozhin, starting her life almost from scratch. Now she is independent, owns one of the best PR agencies in Moscow, among her clients are famous businessmen, restaurateurs, such stars as Vladimir Kuzmin, Irina Allegrova, Alla Dukhova, Inna Malikova, the group "Doctor Watson", and many others. She also has complete order in her personal life.

Meanwhile, two children were growing up in Prigozhin’s first family. Handsome Dima, who inherited from his father the sparkle of his eyes, a sharp mind and the refined features of his mother, as well as little Danae. It is curious that, according to legend, King Danai, in whose honor the girl was apparently named, had many children, as many as 50 daughters. So Prigogine, without suspecting it himself, foresaw his future many children.

Prigogine married for the first time very young. Muscovite Elena from a wealthy, intelligent family turned out to be a brilliant match for a visitor from Makhachkala, who upon arrival in the capital often spent the night at train stations. It is possible that it was a marriage of convenience, if you believe Prigozhin’s numerous interviews, in which he admitted that “only with Valeria did he experience a real feeling.” However, the path to the star was thorny...

Prigozhin never hid from those around him that it would be nice for him to become the husband of... Kristina Orbakaite. Pugacheva's son-in-law! And what? Sounds tempting. Fame, influence... There was a moment when Joseph, promising Christina mountains of gold, attracted her capital to his company Nox Music. However, Orbakaite somehow very soon took her share and for some time did not communicate with Yosya at all.

The next chance came when Abraham Russo appeared on the horizon. His famous duets with Christina are also tactical moves of Prigozhin, who wanted to enter the retinue of the Diva, if not as a husband star daughter, then at least as a producer of her new fan.

Prigozhin strengthened his position in roundabout ways - to the surprise of many. The scandal of Ernst and Krutoy, respectively, Channel One and the ARS company, is still memorable. They say that Prigozhin is directly related to this quarrel of titans.

For a long time Prigozhin was persona non grata on Channel One as well. But a lucky card appeared in his life - Valeria. The singer reconciled Joseph with many, if not all.

They say that neither Elena, nor Leila, nor Valeria know each other, but their children communicate with each other. True, not very often. It is curious that it is at these moments that Yosya’s dad appears next to them, accompanied by a couple of photo reporters.

Well, Prigogine achieved his goal. He is rich and famous.

All the women and children of Prigozhin

Elena Evgenievna is the first wife, a housewife. Common children: son Dmitry, 18 years old, and daughter Danaya, 10 years old. We lived together for 20 years. Elena lives a secluded life and refuses to meet with the press.

Leila Fattakhova - common-law wife. Common daughter Elizaveta, 9 years old. We lived together for 7 years.

Katya is a kind of model. Joseph dated her for less than six months.

Valeria is the current wife. Children from Alexander Shulgin: Anna, 14 years old, Artem, 13 years old, Arseny, 9 years old. The children are not averse to changing their surname from Shulgina to Prigozhin, but biological father does not give consent.

Joseph Prigogine himself believes that he was lucky twice in his life.

“I met two wonderful women, but Lera is my first love. Before her, I knew what affection, respect, gratitude for fidelity were, but not love,” says the producer. Lately, only children have connected us with Lena, my ex-wife, But we are completely different people."

“Of course, Lena is offended - divorce was not part of his plans,” Prigozhin confesses. “I left home a year before I met Valeria, but Lena and I didn’t get a divorce at first, and she thought like this: Yosya will take a walk and come back. We continue with communicate with her, but only at the level of “hello, hello” and transfer of money.”

Both wives of Joseph Prigogine are Christians, but only for the sake of Valeria did he agree to change his faith. In the spring of 2007, Joseph and Valeria got married. “My ancestors on my mother’s side are rabbis, I come from an Orthodox Jewish family. But if I, being a Jew, tied the knot with an Orthodox one, that means I accept her faith, how could it be otherwise? My children are Orthodox, since my first wife is I’m also a Christian. And I, having married Valeria, also received baptism.”

The couple is thinking about having a common child, but no additions to the family are expected yet.

“It’s her, not me, to give birth,” Prigozhin argues. “We are in no hurry to have a child, certainly not because of business considerations. But Valeria already has three children, I have the same number - they all need to be raised, educated, raised and Then you can relax a little, finally live for yourself. And in general, they don’t plan to have children. If the baby is born in the near future, I will be only happy!”

Joseph Prigozhin is rightly considered one of the most famous producers in Russia, and his marriage to singer Valeria seems ideal. However, his relationship with his first wife was always strained. According to the man, he helped his ex-wife and children for twenty years, but due to real estate fraud that occurred three years ago, he broke off all contacts with them.

As it turned out on the air of the “Actually” program, Prigozhin left his ex-wife Elena and children two apartments. However, the property in a prestigious area of ​​the capital was sold without his knowledge or consent.

“I just found out one day that the huge apartment in the center of Moscow no longer exists. She sold it for next to nothing. Well, imagine, the market value of such real estate is one hundred million rubles, and she sells it for thirty. And he does it underground so that I don’t find out. I tried to reason with the children, called them and talked for a long time. I wanted them to prevent this, but to no avail. After the incident with the apartment, we practically do not communicate; I do not help them financially. She simply left the children without their rightful home,” the producer said.

Prigozhin’s daughter Danaya confirmed that the property was indeed sold on the initiative of her mother. According to the girl, they had every right to do this, since the apartment belonged to their family.

A little later it turned out that the money raised from the sale was used to open a business for the new husband of Prigozhin’s ex-wife. This fact especially hurt the famous producer.

“During this entire time I felt remorse. He left his family, a single woman with two children. But it turns out she got married, and no one even told me about it! They were simply afraid of losing financial support. And some KAMAZ trucks were purchased for this man with the proceeds. He’s supposedly doing business,” the producer commented on the situation.

Danae was quick to point out that new chosen one The mother managed her money wisely and regularly brings home the money she earned. The girl herself does not intend to accept financial help from her father. The only thing she wants is his attention.

Studio guests condemned the behavior of both sides, because due to a housing conflict, Prigozhin interrupted contacts with children. However, Danae, in their opinion, did the wrong thing by not telling her father about the changes in the family.

One way or another, the famous producer once again emphasized that he loves all his children. He will be happy to start communicating with his daughter, but only on the condition that the girl finds use for her talents. However, he no longer intends to meet with his ex-wife and help her financially.

50-year-old Elena Prigozhina told reporters about her relationship with ex-husband

50-year-old Elena Prigozhina told reporters about her relationship with her ex-husband.

For several weeks now, discussions among social network users have been raging about the recent scandal involving Joseph Prigozhin and his daughter from his first marriage, Danae. The producer’s heiress admitted to fans that: he finally stopped participating in the girl’s life and urgently asked her to change her last name. At first, Danaya tried to solve the problems on her own, but the situation reached its peak, and her mother, Elena Prigozhina, came to the defense of her daughter.

"I do not communicate with him. He considers me an alcoholic, a prostitute, and blames me for turning the children against him. This is all a lie, in which I do not want to participate. He calls the children only when something has happened, and he only sends me threats demanding to “shut Danae’s mouth” when she tries to give an interview to the media. We are his disgrace. And he treats us like non-humans. Although a couple of years ago he called me and complained about Valeria’s family, her children. He said: “How did they get me, I have no strength.” I was on edge. And now these children write to my Danochka that she “disgraced their beautiful family,” the woman admitted.

According to her, no matter what, she is trying to prove to the children that their father loves them and to improve relations with him, but so far all attempts to restore peace have failed.

“Our son is 27 years old, but when he talks about his father, I see tears welling up in his eyes. It's very difficult to watch. I try, no matter what, to prove to them that dad loves them. You know, I even still have Joseph’s love notes somewhere. When I was pregnant with Dana, he wrote: “I love you very much! So I'm waiting for the baby to be born. I can already imagine her.” I can’t believe that everything is like this now... He just became a different person. I don’t know this Joseph,” Elena is quoted as saying.

Childhood

There is truly a hellish mixture in Joseph's blood. He is of mountain, as well as Ashkenazi and Jewish origin. Prigogine began working quite early. Already at the age of 12, he earned his money in a hairdresser. At the age of 16 he went to Moscow.

In 1986, he received a certificate from Moscow evening school No. 87. In parallel with school lessons, he attended the Gamma theater studio. And then I tried to enter GITIS for the first time. I entered there only in 1994. Higher education received in parallel with intensive administrative and creative activity Yu. In 2000, he graduated as a theater specialist-manager.

Career

For four years, until 1990, Prigozhin worked as a tour manager of concert programs. And at the same time he sang on the stage. He even released his own audio cassette with songs.

Back in 1988, Joseph began touring actively. He himself organized approximately 1.5 thousand concerts with pop stars who traveled around the countries of the former Soviet Union. A year later, today's producer became an administrator, as well as the organizer of the first fashion show of the famous Valentin Yudashkin, which took place in the capital's Variety Theater.

Joseph Prigozhin made his debut as a producer in 1991. The Ostankino channel began broadcasting Supershow-91 and the television program Club T, which he organized.

In 1992, Prigozhin became the producer of the singer under the name Sona. And at the same time he began producing a music show, which was dedicated to the European Motorball Championship in Vidnoye.

But such work activity Joseph Prigogine was not satisfied, and he moved on. In 1993, the producer initiated the creation of the Father's House Foundation. He headed it until 1995. Quite respectable people worked with him back then. The board of trustees consisted of Archbishop Sergius of Solnechnogorsk, Chief Rabbi of Russia Adolf Shaevich, Chief Mufti of Russia Ravil Gainutdin, as well as folk artists USSR Alexandra Pakhmutova, Tikhon Khrennikov, Joseph Kobzon, Makhmud Esambaev, Lyudmila Zykina, numerous lawyers and scientists. The charitable foundation helped socially vulnerable citizens of Russia and attracted public attention to the plight of refugees from neighboring countries.

In 1996, Prigozhin began producing a concert dedicated to Georgian Independence Day. He immediately set about organizing concerts in honor of the 50th anniversary of the creative activity of singer Lyudmila Zykina and the 10th anniversary of the group “A Studio”. At the same time, he took on the first solo concerts of artist Tatyana Bulanova at the Variety Theater. True, the singer herself was dissatisfied with the organization, because from her point of view, the fees were not high enough. From 1996 to 1998 he was the producer of the Golden Gramophone award. Joseph Prigozhin was the executive producer of the concert in honor of the 3rd anniversary of ORT and also in 1999 the organizer of the concert dedicated to March 8th.

After such important events, Prigozhin refused to take on the production of the Rock Islands group. Then they said that the refusal was due to the fact that “nothing came of it in 1999.” Joseph told the group that they were a one-day group. In response to such a statement, the producer was told that the team has existed since 1985, and is not doing badly at the present time.

In 1999, Joseph Prigozhin was the producer of the ceremony of laying the Star of the Georgian artist Vakhtang Kikabidze at the “Square of Stars”. The event was dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the celebrity.

And even earlier, Prigozhin’s activities were put on a grand scale. He created perhaps the largest audio company in Russia, which was called ORT-Records.
