For many years, I blamed myself for the problem when I wanted to understand why the person was threatening me. She said “show up on the court and I’ll beat you up”. I made the mistake of not listening to my intuition. ” So she said in an interview with the BBC in the program” 120 Minutes “ actress Diana Dimitrova, who posted photos of his bruised face and arm on Facebook a week ago. With them he announced that he had suffered violence from a colleague 5 years ago.

He said: ‘I’ll beat you, show yourself,'” Dimitrova said. Within 2 minutes, following the person from the room to the dressing room, he passed me, he slammed me against the wall, he lifted me up, I saw everything very slowly, I collapsed on the floor, I couldn’t believe this was the person I know, that respect,” said Diana. “He kicked me in the face with all his manly strength with a man’s shoe. It was a solid kick in the face, he slammed the door, cursing at me.”
“After 15-20 seconds, three people came and found me in this state. A lunch break was announced. In those minutes, I was straight and shot a scene, then I didn’t look good,” she says.
“We didn’t have any relationship tension before, we were in a close relationship, I thought I knew this guy,” the actress said. According to her, they had an intimate relationship which was kept secret. “No one wants to play the drum when starting a relationship. There was no tension, after the blow there was, but the threat came a few days later in front of colleagues, with the other team after,” said Dimitrova.

Exactly a week ago, he shared photos on his Facebook profile showing bruises on his hand and face.
“For 5 years I’ve been wondering why I didn’t find the strength at that moment to go to a doctor and file a complaint. Because I chose my career in the bud, rather than my dignity. Why did I allow this… man to “touch me ” the recovery time and get away with it. Because this guy, he never realized his gesture and never apologized, in fact, he even threatened me, in front of a team of 30 people, that he would do it again. And we had to work again and again, and I just gritted my teeth. So hard they started breaking in my mouth, “wrote the actress.
