The last five years have been very difficult for the singer Maksim.
First, the artist was in a car accident, after which the fans hardly recognized her.
In parallel, more and more news began to appear that the singer in a particular city could hardly stand on stage. At first, the artist denied all rumors about alcohol addiction.
The singer went through difficult times in her personal life. First, she a difficult divorce from sound engineer Alexei Lugovtsov, the father of her eldest daughter, Alexandra.
Then there was a meeting with billionaire Anton Petrov, from whom the artist gave birth to her youngest daughter Maria. Unfortunately, this relationship did not end in marriage. Petrov cheated on Maksim, but all the same, all these years he financially supported the singer: he bought an apartment and a car, paid for the artist’s treatment in the hospital when doctors were fighting severe covid.
After being discharged from the clinic, Maksim’s problems with alcohol did not decrease, but worsened. The fans again complained about the drunken concerts. Sometimes the singer would fall down on stage. After the interruption of a recent concert in Sochi, Maksim later admitted that he had problems with alcohol, which he is now solving in a specialized clinic.
While the singer receives treatment, her civil ex-husband, Anton Petrov, helps her family financially.
– Huge respect for people who admit their problems. In our country, there was a similar story with Dima Bilan, – recalls the star psychologist Sergei Seleznev. – The fact that Maxim has voiced all this makes her, as a person, closer to the legendary.
Yes, alcohol addiction is bad. Yes, confessing the disease is good. We see how Maxim works on himself. This is a colossal job. Step over yourself and admit the problem to him; not all people are capable of this. Especially not all artists. Because it is very difficult for famous people to admit that they are wrong about something. They are like glass vases.
She touched a little, it can be broken. It is difficult to say how long Maksim’s treatment will last.
It all depends on the person and their determination. Usually, when people make such a difficult decision – to publicly admit their addiction, they quickly rise to their feet and reach great heights. Then these people, like Stas Piekha for example, start helping someone, start promoting a healthy lifestyle, open charitable foundations and become the personification of helping other people. This is a good and bright path. What Maxim has now gone through is difficult and painful. Being aware of the problem is especially painful in a sober mind. It hurts, but it’s not fatal. And if there is also a result, it is even commendable, – says psychologist Sergei Seleznev.
