Steven Seagal poses in Russian jail the place 50 Ukrainians have been killed
They name it a “reprehensible instance of how a few of us, when your profession is already tarnished, scrape to the bottom ranges of the earth to revoke any relevance, even being paraded round by anti-US dictators”
The rep provides that these flirting with Russia on this horrible time — like Seagal — should have sponsorships and alternatives taken away from them … very like how corporations are abandoning them en masse there usually. SS hasn’t had a mainstream Hollywood profession in ages, in order that want is already coming true for NOVA.
Michael Capponi – President of the International Empowerment Mission, one other group working to assist Ukraine – tells TMZ … Seagal, as common, is performing as a pawn for Putin and that the man was clearly given particular entry to the jail in query.
He goes on to say that they’ve been on the bottom there for five months and provides this in regards to the narrative that Seagal and Russia try to spin… “The notion or suggestion that Ukraine is doing this to itself is just not solely patently false, it’s harmful misinformation and comes totally from Russian propaganda.”
Capponi concludes … “That is nothing greater than somebody ingesting an excessive amount of Kool-Assist. It has 0 worth. Ukraine is doing all the pieces it could actually to defend its sovereignty. Ukraine is just not attacking its personal individuals.”
Like we stated, Seagal isn’t making many new buddies by placing himself within the state of affairs — and should have burned much more bridges that weren’t already burned.
