Iryna Gatun is again at the center of a scandal
The actress of the studio "Kvartal 95" Iryna Gatun, who earlier found herself at the epicenter of a scandal because of a joke about immigrants from Skadovsk, once again raised a wave of indignation among Ukrainians. This time she dared to make a joke, which, no doubt, will annoy many.
Gatun mocks Klitschko
On Saturday, August 10, the recording of the concert "Edyny Kvartal" for Independence Day took place in Kyiv. During the performance, Iryna Gatun, performing a scene on the treadmill, allowed herself a sharp joke addressed to the Mayor of Kyiv Vitaliy Klitschko.
"So you say that his head was knocked off in boxing, and I'm afraid to even think that he could come up with something if his head hadn't been knocked off. He's the smartest person. He was able to make four of the three branches of the subway. Are you crazy? will they do that?" Gatun said publicly.
Public reaction
Reaction to this joke was mixed. Part of the audience supported the actress, considering her performance witty and brave. The other part, on the contrary, condemned her for inappropriate humor, believing that such jokes can offend many.
Historical context
This is not the first time that humorists of "Kvartal 95" pay attention to the mayor of Kyiv. Vitaliy Klitschko repeatedly became the object of their jokes, which only adds to the controversy of the situation. It's hard to say whether this episode will be the last in a string of similar performances.
Consequences of the event
Despite the sharp jokes, the popularity of "Quarter 95" continues to grow. However, such situations raise questions about the limits of what is permissible in humor. Do comedians have to follow certain boundaries so as not to offend anyone? Time will tell how this scandal will affect the career of Iryna Gatun and the image of the studio.
