Ex-Patsanki Star Faces Shop Scam Allegations Over Barter Deals

Former «Patsanki» show participant Anna Tikhomirova from Tyumen is accused of deceiving shops and salons. The blogger was supposed to advertise various businesses but, after using their services, did not keep her promise. Now, the duped entrepreneurs have turned against her on social media. They are sharing their stories to warn others.

«In October 2024, our flower studio had just opened. We agreed to pretty much all collaborations that were offered to us. We needed to get exposure on social media. She wrote to us herself, asked for a bouquet for a friend worth up to 5,000 rubles (about $55 at current rates). We agreed, discussed the terms that she would post some publication on social media featuring our studio. She came with her friend, they were hopping around here like I don»t know who… Well, in short, she behaved just like on the show. But she never posted anything,« said Anastasia Bondareva, owner of the Tyumen studio »Tsvetochnaya Dusha« (Flower Soul).

The young woman admitted that she didn«t write anything more to her and left the deed to her conscience. The owner of another flower salon in Omsk — Flowers fox — wanted to do the same.

«She wrote to us very unexpectedly in the evening, right before closing. Said she needed a little bouquet. We agreed on a large bouquet of some kind, took a good one from the display, worth about 5,000 rubles (about $55 at current rates). I personally delivered that bouquet. And immediately realized that there was no point expecting anything in return. Because I was horrified by the delivery address, some kind of ghetto. We wrote to her later, she didn»t answer anything. Then she reappeared herself, said she would soon come to Omsk and advertise us. But, of course, she didn«t come,» says Yulia Orfeeva.

The entrepreneur admitted that she didn«t want to go to the police — the amount isn»t that large. But then she found out that the blogger had broken barter agreements with other Omsk salons as well. That«s when she decided to publicly warn business owners who might be interested in collaborating with bloggers.

«It turns out she scammed many people. We saw reels about this and also decided to publish our own. Many similar stories about Anna gathered under our video,» says Yulia.

We reached out for comment to Anna Tikhomirova herself, better known under the pseudonym Anna Tikhaya. But the blogger did not respond to the journalist«s messages. However, an unambiguous picture appeared in her stories.

Recall that this is not the first scandal involving Anna Tikhomirova. Previously, the star of the show «Patsanki» beat up a Muscovite woman and humiliated her on social media. For this act in 2022, the Tyumen woman was convicted.

A few years ago, the girl posted a video in which she showed how she covered someone else«s car with feminine pads.

The Tyumen woman lasted four weeks on the TV project «Patsanki». On the show, the girl was very open about her past. For example, it was revealed that Anna served time for murder. She herself explained that she was forced to defend herself. Also, the 24-year-old Tyumen woman has a small child. It was for him that she went on the show.
