Former 'Bad Girls' Participant Accused of Fraud in Barter Deals

Anna Tikhomirova, a former participant of the TV show «Bad Girls» from Tyumen, is accused of fraud in barter deals with stores and salons. According to entrepreneurs, the blogger received goods and services in exchange for promised advertising but never posted it.

One incident occurred in October 2024 with the Tyumen studio «Flower Soul». Its owner Anastasia Bondareva said: «In October 2024, our flower studio had just opened. We agreed to almost every collaboration 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 conditions that she would have to post something on social media about our studio. She came with a friend, and they were jumping around here like I don»t know who… Well, in short, she behaved just like on the show. But she never posted anything.«

Bondareva noted that she did not continue the correspondence and left the incident on the blogger«s conscience. A similar situation occurred with the Omsk salon Flowers Fox.

Its owner Yulia Orfeeva said: «She wrote to us very unexpectedly in the evening, right before closing. She said she needed a little bouquet. We agreed on a large bouquet, took a nice one from the display, worth about 5,000 rubles (about $55). I personally delivered this bouquet. And I immediately realized that I shouldn»t expect anything in return. Because I was horrified by the delivery address, some kind of ghetto. We wrote to her later, she didn«t answer. Then she reappeared, said that she would soon come to Omsk and promote us. But, of course, she didn»t come.«

Orfeeva admitted that she initially did not want to go to the police because of the small amount, but after learning about other similar cases, she decided to publicly warn businessmen. «It turns out she has scammed many. We saw reels about this and also decided to publish ours. Many similar stories about Anna gathered under our video,» she explained.

Journalists tried to get a comment from Anna Tikhomirova herself, but she did not respond to messages. Meanwhile, an unambiguous picture appeared in her stories.

This is not the first scandal involving the Tyumen native. Previously, Anna was condemned for beating a Muscovite and humiliation on social networks in 2022. She also published a video where she covered someone else«s car with feminine pads.

On the «Bad Girls» project, Tikhomirova lasted four weeks. During the show, she said that she had previously served time for murder, explaining it as self-defense. Now the 24-year-old blogger, who has a small child, has again faced public accusations.
