Several Russian celebrities have cried foul over what they perceive as a disgusting smell in their luxurious apartments at a Bulgarian Black Sea resort.
Philip Kirkorov and other Russian pop stars, among whom Lolita Milyavskaya and Nadezhda Babkina, have protested against the smell they are forced to endure in the apartments they have bought in the Bulgarian Black Sea city of Burgas, according to Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Speaking before the Rossiya TV channel, Milyavskaya and Bulgarian-born Kirkorov declared they will sue the owners of the luxurious complex in which they own apartments due to the canalization issue.
The owners stopped the transition of the Rossiya channel in the luxurious complex after it reported the story, Milyavskaya added.
"I believe these people are inadequate," she said.
