Nikolai stated that he and Ksenia have long stopped worrying about the hate directed at them.
A scandal erupted on social media surrounding 10-year-old Teona, the youngest daughter of the famous Russian TV presenter Ksenia Borodina.
A montage video appeared online where the girl and her friend answered the question of how they would spend a million dollars. The girls decided to buy a "Rolls-Royce," fly to the Maldives, and empty out the entire "Dubai Mall," after which they were mocked as spoiled and selfish, writes "StarHit."
Interestingly, in the full version of the interview, the children also spoke about charity and that they would like to give part of the money to their mothers. However, this was not included in the viral clip — the footage was deliberately selected to provoke hate. Ksenia Borodina did not remain silent and spoke out in defense of her daughter. She was supported by socialite and TV presenter Nadezhda Strelets, who knows Teona personally: "She made a very pleasant impression on me."
For the first time in a long while, Nikolai Serdyukov, Ksenia Borodina's husband, publicly spoke out. The blogger sharply condemned the creators of the fake content and the pages that inflate the bullying: "It's very easy to portray a child as an idiot."
Nikolai stated that he and Ksenia have long stopped worrying about the hate directed at them. But the TV presenter’s child faced such adversity for the first time, and the stepfather decided not to let the matter slide.
Serdyukov emphasized that, although he is not Teona's biological father, he treats her as a member of his family and is ready to protect her by all available means — including through the courts and public pressure. He demands punishment for the bullies and assures that he intends to see the matter through to the end.
Borodina's Career and Personal Life
In 2025, Ksenia Borodina (42) took several important steps in her life. She married Serdyukov, obtained a psychology degree, and made her film debut, playing the lead role in the movie "For Love!!!" with Alexey Chadov.
However, rumors about a possible divorce continue to circulate in the press. Producer Sergey Dvortsov claimed that the marriage is allegedly on the rocks, as the couple has been appearing together less frequently on social media. Borodina explained the absence of her wedding ring by saying it had to be removed during filming.
Despite the speculation, in a crisis situation, Serdyukov and Borodina act as a united front, especially when it comes to protecting the child.
