Dzhigurda Reveals Fees for Participation in the Show ‘Celebrities Under the Drip’ – November 20, 2025

How many celebrities does it take to shake things up? Apparently, just two – Dzhigurda and Volochkova. Their appearance on the show ‘Celebrities Under the Drip’ (18+) caused a lot of commotion. While some support the project creators and the celebrities themselves who wanted to fight their addictions, others were shocked by the behavior of the stars in the first episode. Participants decided to speak out and explain their actions and drunken antics.
Nikita Dzhigurda, who couldn’t even stand after a wild party and fell asleep on a bench and bare ground, stated that he had no dependencies and all his performances were done solely for the money.
The actor recorded a video responding to criticism from Stas Sadalsky and Oscar Kuchera. Earlier, the artists condemned the project and believed that the creators were using celebrities for ratings. Participants were just victims who agreed to appear in an unfavorable light out of desperation.
‘If my favorite Stas Sadalsky and Oscar Kuchera knew how much Nastya and I were paid to participate in this show, they would want to join themselves, especially since everything was under control, agreed upon,’ said Dzhigurda.
The actor noted that he was paid an indecent amount of money for his participation and he would have earned even more if he had staged a quarrel with Volochkova instead of reconciling.
‘I received an amount equivalent to 20 years of my pension – I am a pensioner! They paid me 20 years’ worth of pension immediately for my participation and for certain actions: to get drunk, to fool around. I could have made even more if I had created a scandal with Nastya Volochkova and developed that storyline further. But there were volunteers without me, and since I have no alcohol problems, I will share interesting and curious facts next time,’ confessed Nikita Dzhigurda.
Instead of Dzhigurda, trash blogger Gabar got into a conflict with the ballerina. Volochkova stated that she did not know what show she was entering and was not aware that she would be provoked. After a party night, when Gabar publicly revealed that she supposedly had a passion for another participant, Roman Zheludy, Anastasia, offended by such actions, decided to go home.
‘I was invited by the project leader, although they introduced him to me as Phoenix, without warning me at all about what would happen there. They told me I would have to live in a closed house with a group of participants for a month,’ shared Anastasia.
Another participant, Yevgenia Osipova, defended Dzhigurda and Volochkova, noting that everything shown on screen was just a carefully crafted image. She recommended to the colleagues who criticize the participants to come to the show in the second season themselves.
‘Volochkova is now being criticized for nothing. Yet she made a very warm impression on me: calm, attentive, looks great. I think she plays her role, she has her own image, and it is her right,’ expressed Osipova. ‘The same goes for Dzhigurda. He supported me both on set and off-screen. Yes, he created this outrageous image for himself, but he exists in it honestly, organically. And I don’t see any reason to judge him for that.’
