Stepan Menshchikov: “Yes, I cheated on my wife. And she to me

The showman feels guilty for not asking Evgenia's permission before taking DNA samples from the children. However, he is glad that he learned the truth about the birth of his son, albeit after four years. In the program "Actually" with Dmitry Shepelev, Stepan Menshchikov turned to his wife.
At the beginning of the week, one of the most discussed topics was the scandal with the paternity of Stepan Menshchikov. During the recording of the “Actually” program for Channel One, it became known that little Vanechka, who became the first child of the showman and his wife, is not related to the man. The former member of DOMA-2 and his heirs, a four-year-old son and a nine-month-old daughter, underwent a DNA test. True, as it turned out, Evgeny Menshchikov did not know about the intention of her husband. Therefore, Stepan wrote down an appeal to her, in which he admitted his guilt.

“Zhenya, you will see these shots after the shooting is over. I want to ask your forgiveness in advance for taking DNA from my children without your permission,” Stepan said.

Directly in the studio, the Menshchikovs had to answer a number of unpleasant questions regarding marital fidelity. It turned out that both regularly cheated on each other when they were married. Stepan said that he and Zhenya initially had agreements on free relations, and these conditions suited everyone. However, the mother of two denies this fact.

“From the first day we started living together, I wanted a normal family,” Menshchikova admitted. - Even with a public person. It so happened that Stepan has such a position. He behaves very frankly everywhere, at events ... I wanted the perfect family. We lived normally. Stepan at first led a wild life, until our son was born.

At the same time, when answering questions, Zhenya allowed herself to lie. The polygraph calculated that the young woman was lying about the lack of communication with other men. The experts in the studio unanimously decided that Menshchikova did not want to admit her guilt in the collapse of this marriage, and therefore she carefully hides her own betrayals.

“Looks like your polygraph broke,” Zhenya continued to insist on being right. - I didn't change. Yes, I talked with other men, but the matter did not go beyond correspondence.

Stepan Menshchikov himself did not deny his guilt. The man openly stated that he really cheated on his wife, because he needed new impressions. The showman did not hide the fact that he often behaved intemperately and could allow breaking dishes or breaking furniture in a fit of anger. Once Styopa even took out a knife and stuck it in the closet. According to him, there were no children around at that moment.

“Zhenya never screams, unlike me,” Menshchikov admitted. -I can flare up, throw a scandal, tantrum and really destroy furniture, beat dishes. Zhenya is very calm, she eats my brain gradually.

Stepan's mother, Nadezhda Pavlovna, also intervened in Stepan's family conflict. The woman admitted that she was disappointed in her daughter-in-law, who for seven years had not managed to become a good wife for her son.

“She is a simple girl, modest. I fell in love, well, and began to live together, says Styopa's mother. But I felt that she did not love him. Mother's heart prompted. Of course, I'm worried too. Love is love, and life is life. But if you have children, you can donate. This is love when it is sacrificial. Zhenya did not become a good wife to Styopa. I don't know what is the reason. When I asked why she was leaving him and if it was about money, she replied: “That too.” Then she said that in order to maintain a normal life, she needs 500 thousand a month.

Recently it became known that the star of "House-2" Stepan Menshchikov intends to send a paralyzed father to a nursing home. Two and a half years ago, Valery Vladimirovich was struck by a stroke. After this incident, the man began to need constant care. It is carried out by the mother of the showman Nadezhda Pavlovna. On the air of the program "Live" there was a discussion of the conflict in the Menshchikov family.

“Dad is no longer a tenant. I don't want to say that word, but he's a vegetable. God forbid to be like that, it's better to do euthanasia in order to strain anyone. I just don't want my father to drag my mother into his wheelchair. And so they put a blockade in her hands. I'm sure he'll be better off in the nursing home. I would like my mother to take care of herself and her personal life, and not sit all the time with a disabled person, ”stepan Menshchikov said frankly.

According to Nadezhda Pavlovna, her husband can be restored with the help of massage. When the funds of the TV star's mother ran out, she began to do these procedures on her own, and then turned to her son for help. However, Stepan refused her financial support, citing the fact that he had to spend a lot on his wife and child. In addition, Menshchikov is sure that his father can no longer be helped. In the video footage shown in the program, the dad of the TV star is almost constantly crying. According to Stepan, Valery Vladimirovich's brain function is disrupted, which affects his behavior.

According to the showman's mother, she needs about 30 thousand rubles a month to support her husband. “We are unpretentious in food, I don’t go anywhere. The only thing I can do is go to the store, ”said the showman’s mother. The woman also spoke about the difficulties in the life of her husband. “He is a very good, decent person who has lived a hard life. His father died at the age of 28. The husband worked as a watchman at night to study during the day. He was educated at the Kazan Aviation Institute, studied aircraft engines, this is a very difficult profession,” said Nadezhda Pavlovna.

A friend of Stepan Menshchikov Vadim Khusainov said that Stepan spends a lot on the maintenance of his own family. His wife is in an interesting position, and the man cannot arrange an heir in kindergarten. Friends and relatives of Menshchikov's spouses also constantly ask for a loan from him. “Everyone is pulling money from him,” Khusainov summed up.

At the end of the broadcast, singer Andrey Kovalev, the godfather of Stepan Menshchikov's son, promised to help the showman with kindergarten. “I take over,” the artist said. However, the main conflict in the family of the television star remained unresolved. Stepan did not comment on the final statement of his mother.

“He will destroy me if he separates me from my father,” said Nadezhda Pavlovna.

The star of "House-2" Stepan Menshchikov is going through difficult times - a real drama is unfolding in the life of a merry fellow and a joker, in the center of which was his father. The artist's parent suffered a stroke and was confined to a wheelchair, which prompted the son to get rid of his father, sending him to a nursing home so that he would not cause unnecessary inconvenience to the family.

Stepan Menshchikov spoke about what is happening behind closed doors at his parents' house on the air of the Live broadcast. The artist admitted that a few years ago his father Valery suffered a stroke, after which he could not get on his feet. An elderly man became an invalid, chained to a chair, and his weakness prompted Stepan to think that his father is a burden for his family.

Menshchikov harshly announced to the guests of the studio that his parent could no longer be a full-fledged member of society, and therefore he should be taken to a nursing home or even killed by euthanasia. “Dad is no longer a tenant. I don't want to say that word, but he's a vegetable. God forbid to be like that, it's better to do euthanasia so as not to strain anyone. I just don't want my father to drag my mother into his wheelchair. And so they put a blockade in her hands. I'm sure he'll be better off in the nursing home. I would like my mother to take care of herself and her personal life, and not sit all the time with a disabled person, ”said Stepan, causing indignation of the audience.



The TV star's decision to get rid of her father runs counter to the opinion of Stepan's mother, who is ready to take care of her husband. The woman believes that her husband will recover after a course of massage and treatment. The faithful wife herself was engaged in the health of her lover and did massage procedures to her sick spouse, because of which she began to have problems with her hands. Since it turned out to be impossible to continue the treatment on her own, Stepan's mother turned to him for help, because the services of doctors cost a lot of money. “We are unpretentious in food, I don’t go anywhere. The only thing I can do is go to the store,” the woman said, explaining that she spends her entire pension on her husband's treatment.

However, Stepan refused to help his mother financially. The man explained that all his funds go to the maintenance of his pregnant wife and son, and the father, he said, is still no help. Menshchikov was not touched even by the footage of the video of his parents' life shown in the studio - the journalists filmed the father of the TV star crying. Stepan just shrugged his shoulders and expressed the opinion that his father's emotions are associated with impaired brain function, and not his state of mind.



Guests and spectators of the studio commented on Stepan's statements in different ways, for the most part simply sympathizing with his father, who lived a hard life. “His father died at the age of 28. The husband worked as a watchman at night to study during the day. He was educated at the Kazan Aviation Institute, studied aircraft engines, this is a very difficult profession, ”the mother of Stepan Menshchikov told about her husband. The woman tearfully asked her son not to separate her from her husband, assuring her that she could not live without him. The man did not answer these words.

Later, the showman nevertheless posted a photo with his father on social networks, in the caption to which he indicated his mother's bank card number. “This is for the rehabilitation of my father. If everyone is so smart and kind, don’t leave your smart thoughts in the comments, but really help by sending money to your mother’s account, ”Stepan told Life.


Stepan Menshchikov is one of the first participants in the Dom 2 TV project, a famous showman, TV presenter and performer of popular songs. The showman was born on May 15, 1977 in the city of Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg). Stepan Menshchikov grew up and was brought up in a modest average family, and among three children he was the eldest. The artist's mother, Nadezhda Pavlovna, worked as a builder, and his father, Valery Vladimirovich, who graduated from the Kazan Aviation Institute, worked at the Kalinin Machine-Building Plant and was a land acquisition specialist.

To learn and get an education, Menshchikov Sr. had to work as a janitor. The family did not live well, so the future member of "House-2" did not know what luxury was: the artist recalled that, as a 12-13-year-old child, he and his father washed the floors in the entrance. Therefore, Styopa knew from early childhood what it was like to earn a living by hard work. The showman admitted that he spent more time with his mother than with his father, because Valery Vladimirovich went to work early in the morning and returned home late in the evening.


Stepan Menshchikov with his parents

Stepan said that his parents were not strict people, so real democracy reigned in the house: the boy was not scolded too much for pranks, but his father sometimes scolded him for unfulfilled mathematics. However, the artist is even grateful to such an upbringing, because, as you know, the ability to count and multiply will definitely come in handy in the life of any person. It is also known from Stepan’s childhood that he adored his mother’s doll (which her husband gave her), loved to break toys, was fidgety and constantly admired his appearance. However, it is worth noting that Menshchikov was a well-bred child: he helped both mom and dad, and neighbors.


Menshchikov began to get involved in creativity largely because of Nadezhda Pavlovna. Stepan's mother dreamed that her son would learn to dance. Therefore, the woman, with the help of cunning, took the boy to the dance studio: until the last moment she did not tell her child where they were going. Styopa did not like the classes, and the boy perceived every visit to the circle as unbearable torture, for which he paid in the future: when Menshchikov entered the university, his folk dance at the admissions office failed miserably.

Having become older, the young man did not take part in school amateur performances. It is known that during his studies, the guy developed typical rebellious inclinations: in the 9th grade he began to smoke cigarettes (the Menshchikov family is non-smoking), and in the 11th, due to unrequited love, Styopa tried alcohol. Having received a certificate of maturity in 1994, Menshchikov began his creative biography in the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Ural Military District, and later the young man was admitted to the Yekaterinburg University at the Faculty of Acting.

Show "Dom-2"

After graduating from the university, Stepan served in the army and set off on a free voyage. Between the young man there was a choice: to go to live in London or to conquer Moscow. But since Menshchikov had problems with a visa, the guy had to stay in Russia. It is noteworthy that in the capital the showman tried himself in various roles: he worked as a stripper, clown and even head teacher at school.


Stepan Menshchikov in the show "Dom-2"

On May 12, 2004, Menshchikov became one of the first participants in the reality show Dom-2. On a long-playing television set, a talented guy managed to both build love and entertain presenters and colleagues, for which he fell in love with viewers - it’s not for nothing that some fans compare Stepan with the famous American comedian.


Thanks to his sense of humor and charisma, the "old man of the perimeter" managed to win more than one woman's heart. Stepan became the first chosen one. Fans of "House-2" often discussed this beautiful couple and wondered when the wedding would be. However, the relationship between Menshchikov and Vodonaeva came apart at the seams, because, in addition to romance, lovers often had conflicts and violent quarrels.


After breaking up with Alena, Stepan began dating. Some reality TV fans believed that young people were no match for each other: they did not understand why a rich girl and participant in beauty contests drew attention to an ordinary guy from Sverdlovsk. The relationship between Boni and Menshchikov kept a multimillion-dollar army of viewers near the TV screens: the whole country watched the life of an extravagant couple, who provided the show with unprecedented ratings with scandals and fights.


The next victim of the main Don Juan of the project was. Styopa met a seductive Muscovite on vacation in Thailand and was not slow to invite her to a reality show. After an unsuccessful relationship in the framework of the TV project, the lovers decided to try their luck outside the perimeter, however, this romance was doomed to failure.


But it is worth saying that after leaving Doma-2, Stepan continued to flicker on TV screens. For example, in 2008, he played the role of a hairdresser in the show “Stars Change Their Profession”, and from 2011 to 2012 Menshchikov (as the funny rabbit Stepasha), together with a colleague, hosted the satirical TV show “Khu from Khu”, where famous politicians and stars:, and others.
