But we certainly remain loving parents of a beautiful daughter. It has been a wonderful 8 years. I am immensely grateful to Christina for them and for the most important and important that we have in life - for our daughter. Of course, speculation will begin, but I immediately want to make it clear that neither the pandemic, nor the film "Text", nor anyone else in this situation is to blame. It happens in life. It happens. But we will always remain close people and we part as friends, with great respect for each other. Now there is a divorce proceedings.

“This is a difficult period for all of us, so I ask the press not to bother me, Christina and all our loved ones. And there will be plenty of speculation and guesses in various public and forums. You can’t take this toy away, ”the showman added.
Asmus also mentioned that the decision to divorce was not made spontaneously.
“And this is not hype. God forbid you to hype on this. This decision is not spontaneous. It was thought over for a long time and formulated almost a year ago. Before it became mainstream, ”the actress joked.
"I do not believe in this"
Despite Christina Asmus’s assurances that her and her husband’s divorce statements are not a hype, the co-host of Let's Get Married! Rosa Syabitova accused the artists of intent to attract attention.
“As for my opinion about the divorce, I don’t believe in it. I think this is another hype. If people get divorced, then this is a tragedy for the family. Such things are not put up for public display. Since it is being exposed, it means that the participants in this story are not emotionally attached to each other. They calmly react to this. When people talk about it so calmly, my doubts creep in, ”the presenter said in an interview with Gazeta.Ru.
Similar doubts have been expressed by many Instagram users.
“Maybe it's a joke after all?” - writes one of the commentators.
“Also hype, like Dzhigan,” says another.
“This is for Garik to come to the program“ Let's get married? ” - users of a social network joke.
Among the commentators there are those who are sure that the cause of the discord between the spouses was nevertheless an open scene in Klim Shipenko's film “Text”.
“Yes, anyone would divorce! After this "Text". And she lost the film ... and lost her husband, ”one of the users assures. “They find the people so stupid that they try to suck it in, that the“ Text ”has nothing to do with it,” another ironizes.

The scandal around the "Text"
In 2019, Kristina Asmus was in the center of the scandal after the premiere of the dramatic thriller Klim Shipenko “Text”. In the tape there is an explicit bed scene in which the actress, as well as her on-screen partner Ivan Yankovsky, appeared completely naked. The artists themselves shot the pictures on the phone: with the help of this technique, the director wanted to achieve the effect of a typical home video, which can be found on any smartphone user.
The scene turned out to be extremely naturalistic and caused a negative reaction from the audience who decided that what was happening on the screen was not a production. The actress was actively criticized and accused of depravity, and her husband was nicknamed a cuckold in social networks. Some even began to demand that Asmus be deprived of parental rights. Moreover, according to the artist herself, this was not done by individuals, but by entire organizations. They urged all haters to actively write negative comments under all videos with her participation, send complaints to the Ministry of Culture, call the guardianship authorities and do everything that could lead to the Asmus and Kharlamov’s divorce. In addition, some Internet users threatened the actress with reprisal.
Kristina Asmus said that she was ready for a negative reaction from the audience, because even after the release of the trailer, where there is a scene with a kiss, the audience began to write that there was an understudy or computer graphics on the screen. However, the actress was upset by the way the audience now perceives her.
Garik Kharlamov after the release of the scandalous tape did not make any claims against his wife, but, on the contrary, supported her. The artist emphasized that his wife is an actress. In the “Text”, she played a role and, according to the showman, coped with her task perfectly.
“The sex scene is written in the book and is necessary for the plot. Yes, frankly. Yes, on the edge. So what? When I watch other movies, TV shows and see sex scenes there, I have no question “What do they allow themselves?” They are not husband and wife! ” or “What did Sharon Stone’s husband think at the time he moved his legs on the chair?” How did he let her “copulate” the whole movie with Michael Douglas? ” Or how did Brad Pitt allow this to be done with Jolie in a number of paintings? How was Monica Bellucci allowed to do this? Emilia Clark? Here you can endlessly list. This movie! There is no wife in the film “Text”, the story is about completely different people, ”wrote Kharlamov on his Instagram page.
