Commentators expressed their claims to the organizers of the festival and the media for publishing a video in which Bonya walks the red carpet.

Criticism was expressed due to the fact that Bonya, according to commentators, supports the Russian authorities and the special operation in Ukraine.

“They started writing: what ... do you put Victoria Bonya, who once wore T-shirts with the image of Putin,” the TV presenter said. 

At the same time, Bonya noted that she wore T-shirts with the image of Russian President Vladimir Putin much earlier than she starred in the film Eight First Dates with Vladimir Zelensky, but "for some reason, no one mentions this."

“It’s immediately obvious here: it’s very important for people to shake the boat, it’s important to have such an unstable vibration in the world,” she said.

On May 17, the opening ceremony of the 75th Cannes Film Festival took place in France.
