Blogger Roma Zhelud opened up about his gambling addiction during an interview with Ksenia Sobchak on her YouTube channel, "Caution: Sobchak," on May 4.
According to Zhelud, there were instances when he lost all his money overnight, leaving him without funds even for food. He admitted that for about two months, he conducted casino streams that stripped him of self-control and exacerbated his addiction.
Sobchak caught Zhelud in a contradiction. The blogger claimed he consistently warned his audience about the dangers of gambling, urging his followers not to click on links during his streams and only broadcasting for those who had already played the product. However, just moments later, Sobchak displayed a screenshot from his Telegram channel, where Zhelud was inviting new players to the operator Leon's product without any warnings.
