Widower Dmitry Shepelev disappeared from television screens for more than a year. Rumors immediately appeared on social networks that the TV presenter was unemployed and therefore was “devouring” the inheritance of his eldest son Platon Shepelev. 10-year-old Platon, the son of Dmitry and singer Zhanna Friske (he died 8 years ago after battling an incurable disease for two years), became the heir to his mother’s accounts and real estate. He disposes of the inheritance until the child reaches the age of majority, his father Dmitry Shepelev’s. Therefore, Zhanna Friske’s father periodically causes unpleasant and unsubstantiated gossip about the waste of money from Zhanna’s accounts: they say that the new large family of the unemployed Shepelev is devouring her daughter’s money. Dmitry Shepelev did not really appear on television, but he worked, behind the scenes, was engaged in producing TV shows. And now he will be in the frame.
In the new TV season, Dmitry Shepelev hosts a new weekly entertainment program on the Rossiya TV channel called “In the circle of friends.” The format is as follows: celebrities come to the studio to visit Shepelev with his pets. Program participants share interesting stories from the lives of their feathered and four-legged relatives. In addition to cute stories and plots, viewers are waiting for expert advice: hairdressers, zoologists, hippotherapists, cynologists, zoopsychologists, lawyers and experts in animal fashion. There will be a section in the TV show where you can learn about stray cats and dogs that you can take home and find a new friend.
40-year-old Dmitry Shepelev recently finished his studies – he took a commercial production course at the School of Event Production. Shepelev has a diploma in journalism from the Belarusian State University; when he lived with Zhanna, he hosted the “Property of the Republic” program, and after her death, TV shows and talk shows: “Two Voices”, “Actually”, “You’re Like Me”, Great ShowCountry.

The usual accusations of Vladimir Borisovich Friske against Dmitry Shepelev are based on the fact that the amount in one of the boy’s bank accounts has decreased. Mom and dad Zhanna Friske sold the singer’s apartment in Miami for 470 thousand dollars; the amount was divided between the singer’s parents and son. Dmitry Shepelev and Zhanna Friske did not have time to register a marriage, so he is not his heir, but as the father of Platon Shepelev, he can dispose of the inheritance of his son.
The lawyers of the Friske family ordered extracts from a foreign currency account: it turned out that Dmitry Shepelev paid for his son Plato’s education in a private school with this money (more than 1 million rubles in just one year). Vladimir Borisovich Friske explained: “Plato had 200 thousand euros in his account. Six left. This money should go to Plato when he turns 18. And Shepelev recently bought himself a new car and supports his family with this money … “
It is possible that Dmitry Shepelev transferred money from a foreign bank to other accounts, simply in order not to lose it or for convenience. And the family of Dmitry Shepelev is now really big. Dmitry Shepelev is raising his 10-year-old son Plato (from Zhanna Friske) and 2-year-old Tikhon (from Ekaterina Tulupova). In the family of the TV presenter Shepelev and the designer Tulupova there are three children: two sons and the daughter of Ekaterina from her first marriage. A father with many children does not run out of work.
Premiere of Dmitry Shepelev’s TV show “In the circle of friends” on September 9 at 11.50 on the channel “Russia”.
