Welp. If 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, we’ve got some influencer news (that involves a woman dating her step-son) that’ll leave you shook.
Speaking of influlencers and their platforms, we spoke about TikTok on this episode of It’s Been A Big Day For…
When influencers aren’t complaining that they can’t travel during the COVID-19 pandemic or making uncleanable messes, they’re finding a way to make content pop up onto our timelines. This story involves a 35-year-old Russian, her step-son and an incredibly disturbing throwback photo.
Meet Marina Balmasheva. Just a few days ago, she shared a photo of herself with her stepson 13 years ago, when he was just seven years old and she was 22. Yep, gotta love a Vlada-mere 15 year age gap. Now, while throwback photos are usually cute and fun, this photo evokes no such emotion, as this influencer is now dating her stepson.
Marina Balmasheva was married to her ex-husband Alexey who is 45-years-old before their relationship ended in divorce. After being married for 10 years, the two split with Marina eventually moving on with his son, Vladimir.
Marina Balmasheva posted the photo in the hopes to win social media support for their relationship, but it backfired. Many of Marina’s 420,000 followers were wondering if the photo was actually a “prank”.
“You never know how life will turn out and when you will meet a person who makes you smile, I know that some will judge us, others will support us, but we are happy and wish you to be as well.” Marina captioned the photo.
But the comment section wasn’t as kind as Marina was. One user said, “What shocks me most is that this boy grew up before her very eyes” and another asked “This is a prank right? You are teasing?”
Welp, we don’t know what to think at this point. If you’re curious about what Marina Balmasheva is up to now, she is very much in love with Vladimir and the two of them are raising three of his five siblings – the other one of his siblings living with his father. According to local reports, Marina Balmasheva wants to have children with Vladimir and the two of them are planning their wedding.
Maybe it’s all this Russian talk, but we need some vodka. Please influencers, don’t go dating your step sons. It’s too much.
