On April 22, NTV aired the second part of the “Secret to a Million” program with the participation of Philip Kirkorov. The singer not only answered the most tricky questions Lera Kudryavtseva, but also decided to reveal his most main secret, which he carefully protected from everyone for 13 years.

It turned out that due to a tragic accident that occurred in 2003 during a concert in the USA, Kirkorov almost received a life prison sentence. Then Philip Bedrosovich was invited to perform at the famous Taj Mahal entertainment complex. In those days, the King traveled without a large retinue, so he was assigned local guards. Two bodyguards were assigned to Kirkorov, one of whom was 70 years old.

According to the singer, during the concert he decided to go down to the hall, but the illuminator did not turn on the light, so he had to find his way by touch. The song was dynamic, so when he felt an obstacle in the form of a man, he instinctively pushed him away. After the concert, the singer was told that everything was fine with the security representative.

In reality, everything turned out to be wrong. After a collision with the singer, the security guard fell and hit his head on the floor, as a result of which he was taken to the hospital. The injury sustained in the fall affected general condition health and, after some time, the man died.

Relatives of the deceased filed a lawsuit against Kirkorov. The proceedings lasted about 6 years. The jury's votes were distributed in a percentage ratio of 49% to 51% in favor of the singer. The advantage was minimal, so Philip remained free.

Philip Kirkorov said on the program “Secret for a Million” that he was accused of murdering a man and was almost imprisoned.

The show “Secret for a Million” with the participation of Philip Kirkorov did not fit into one episode. Today NTV aired the second program with the King of Pop. He admitted that he dreamed of a child from Alla Pugacheva, talked about his relationship with Anastasia Stotskaya, showed his houses in Moscow, Miami, Bulgaria, commented on all the scandals associated with his name, and talked about raising children.

Kirkorov’s ex-lover Anastasia Stotskaya, lawyer Alexander Dobrovinisky, housekeeper Lyusya, who devoted her entire life to the Diva and the King of Pop, came to the studio of the “Secret to a Million” program. But most importantly, Philip revealed a million-dollar secret that he had kept secret for 13 years. The team of the “Million Dollar Secret” program spent six months collecting evidence. The secret was brought from overseas.

“I have never been a coward. “I am an unwilling accomplice in a situation that took a life…” began Philip Kirkorov. Lera Kudryavtseva warned the king of pop that the reaction from the media and public would be violent, and clarified whether he was really ready to reveal his secret. “I am Kirkblood. I'm ready. “I have nothing to hide,” said Philip.

Lera Kudryavtseva showed the ruling of the Supreme Court of New Jersey dated July 16, 2010. In it, Philip Kirkorov was listed as accused in a criminal case of murder of a person. Lera Kudryavtseva also warned that there is a witness who can testify. “On April 17, 2004, you were accused of murdering a man. The investigation and trials lasted six long years. For killing a person, you faced life imprisonment,” the presenter announced.

“Now, even when going abroad on tour, I have to carry all my people. But then everything was different for me. During my solo show at the Taj Mahal, which took place in a huge hall for 10 thousand people, two security guards were assigned to me. They had to keep order. The man who was placed in the front line was 60-70 years old. When I walked towards the audience, and the stage was very high, and began to descend from the stairs, the lighting operator did not illuminate the hall. But I continued moving anyway - into the darkness, by touch. Naturally, I was blinded by the spotlights. The song was very dynamic. I moved very energetically and, going down the stairs, came face to face with an obstacle in the form of a man and instinctively threw him away. It happened purely intuitively. I moved on, and then it turned out that the man fell on his back. But I didn't see it. “I didn’t even realize that he fell,” Philip Kirkorov recalled the accident that happened during his concert.

“The decree says that a man fell down the stairs, hit his head on the concrete floor and lost consciousness, and you didn’t even come up to him,” read Lera Kudryavtseva official document. “I didn’t understand what happened because it happened in complete darkness. After the concert they told me with a chuckle that I had knocked over a security guard. The organizers assured that everything was fine with him. He was taken to the hospital with a bruise to his arm and head. After this injury, the security guard stopped going to work and after six months or a year he was gone,” said Philip Kirkorov.

The guard's name was Thomas Rogers. On March 18, 2009, he died of a stroke following open heart surgery. “I didn't know anything. They didn't even tell me that he was hospitalized after the concert. And as the investigation later showed, open heart surgery happened much later. His relatives filed a lawsuit against me. I'm in once again I came to a concert at the Taj Mahal and an American bailiff came to me with a summons that I was being summoned to court. Relatives wanted to know the truth. They sued the casino where the show took place, the concert organizers, me, and the fact that the employers did not protect the employee from an accident. All these long six years, investigative experiments were carried out. Every six months I had to go to them. I came to investigative experiments and proved my innocence all these years. It was extremely unpleasant to testify and make excuses. Still, I blame myself... If I had not collided with him then, the uncle would not have fallen and would still live and live. But in court they proved that I really didn’t see him,” Kirkorov said.

In the talk show “Secret for a Million” on the NTV channel, a popular Russian singer Philip Kirkorov admitted to TV presenter Lera Kudryavtseva that 13 years ago in the United States he was involved in a criminal case: he was accused of murder by negligence. The singer at first did not want to answer this final and most difficult question, citing the fact that “his secret is worth more than a million rubles” and supposedly not everyone close to Kirkorov knows this secret. But then the singer admitted that once at a concert at the Taj Mahal casino, he accidentally pushed an elderly security guard named Thomas Rogers while he was going on stage. This happened in 2004 at the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City.

I became an unwilling participant in a situation that claimed a person’s life. This happened on my big solo concert at the Taj Mahal. By the way, it was after this incident that such a large team went on tour with me. But then everything was different. 2004, I give a concert in a huge hall for 6-10 thousand people. Two people were assigned to me to keep order in the hall. There was a rather elderly guard on the front line. I pushed him away when I went down to the hall. The spotlights blinded me, I couldn’t see anything. The guard fell, and I didn’t even immediately understand what happened. Then his relatives sued me.

The presenter of the program, Lera Kudryavtseva, said that she has a resolution in her hands Supreme Court New Jersey July 16, 2010: “This is a criminal case of murder of a person. The accused is Philip Kirkorov.” She also noted that the resolution said: “... fell down the stairs, hit his head on the concrete floor and lost consciousness.” Some time after this, the man died of a stroke. At the trial, the Russian singer said that due to the bright stage lights, he did not see the security guard on the stairs, as a result of which he collided with him. Rogers' colleagues claimed that the artist first grabbed the security guard and then pushed him.

The investigation into this criminal case lasted for six years. As a result, in 2009, the jury acquitted the singer, although with a margin of only two votes: 51 for and 49 against the singer’s innocence. The court ruled that Kirkorov was partially to blame for the tragic incident with Thomas Rogers, but the security guard himself made a mistake by violating instructions on the rules of working at the concert.

• In the same year, the famous scandal occurred between Kirkorov and Gazeta Dona journalist Irina Aroyan. At a press conference in Rostov-on-Don, the singer insulted Aroyan, expressing what later became catchphrase: “Your pink blouse, your tits and your microphone annoy me.” The singer was irritated by a journalist’s question about the number of remake songs in his repertoire. Irina Aroyan after unsuccessful attempt to resolve the conflict pre-trial (Philip Kirkorov did not consider himself guilty of anything and refused to apologize) at the end of June 2004 appealed to statement of claim to one of the courts in Rostov-on-Don.

• A criminal case was opened against the singer under Article 130, Part 2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Insult”). On August 11, 2004, the Rostov-on-Don Magistrate Court found Kirkorov guilty under Part 2 of Article 130 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (insult in a public place) and imposed a fine of 60,000 rubles to be paid to the state. The plaintiff’s lawyer V. Livshits emphasized that Irina Aroyan deliberately did not make any material claims against the pop singer as compensation for moral damage.

For many years the story was hushed up because trial, initiated by the relatives of the late Thomas Rogers, took place in American state New Jersey. As life.ru learned, which obtained documents from the court, Kirkorov’s show was then held at Donald Trump’s Trump Taj Mahal casino.

ON THE TOPIC

During the concert, Kirkorov, going down into the hall to the audience, pushed away a 70-year-old security guard. The man fell, hit himself hard and lost consciousness. The security guard needed an urgent medical care. The man survived, but then suffered from severe pain for several years. In 2009, during another operation, he died.

In court, Kirkorov justified himself by saying that, while descending from the stage, he did not see the security guard due to the bright light and instinctively pushed away the “obstacle” on his way. However, colleagues of the deceased claim that the singer did this deliberately, grabbing the guard and pushing him with his hands. In addition, when the man fell, Kirkorov not only did not try to help him, but laughed at the guard lying on the floor.

Witnesses also complained that after the incident they were not allowed to get closer to Kirkorov and his entourage. Representatives of the security guard's family were forced to contact the police with a demand to investigate the case.

As a result, the court announced that Kirkorov was partly to blame for the tragic incident with Rogers, and also admitted that the guard suffered, among other things, due to his own actions, which violated the instructions while working at the concert. In fact, the Russian singer was acquitted. On September 10, 2009, the jury ruled that Kirkorov did not attack or beat the security guard.

Rogers' family appealed. The court of second instance drew attention to controversial issues and possible “jury errors”, but due to US law, it left the decision of the first instance court unchanged. However, the relatives of the deceased security guard still blame the singer for the incident.
