A sharply worded statement from Bulgarian singer Toni Dimitrova ignited a social media firestorm after she responded to a provocative and offensive post by Katya Bliznakova, attacking national football icon Hristo Stoichkov. Dimitrova’s post, published earlier this week, directly challenged Bliznakova’s conduct.
“Ms. Bliznakova, the shame is yours! For a long time! I am posting this here because I realize you will delete it later, as you always do! And no – your profile has not been hacked! This is you yourself and I will not tolerate it anymore! And I pity you, because you not only write nonsense, but you also like it yourself! Pathetic,” Dimitrova wrote, according to a report by Blitz.bg.
Dimitrova’s assessment proved accurate. Bliznakova’s original post was reportedly deleted hours after Dimitrova’s public response. The tone and content of Bliznakova’s initial post sparked widespread condemnation among users, and Dimitrova’s intervention further intensified the debate. Yet, support for Dimitrova’s stance overwhelmingly dominated the replies to her post, with many users describing her words as “timely” and “absolutely accurate.”
The incident highlights a growing trend of public figures utilizing social media to address perceived offenses and engage directly with critics. While the specific content of Bliznakova’s post remains largely unavailable due to its deletion, the swiftness of the backlash and Dimitrova’s forceful response underscore the sensitivity surrounding public discourse and the scrutiny faced by individuals with significant online platforms.
As of Wednesday, February 11, 2026, neither Bliznakova nor Stoichkov have publicly commented on the exchange. The incident continues to be widely discussed across Bulgarian social media channels.
