What Bilyk said about the scandal with the Palace “Ukraine”
According to the singer, preparing large shows requires coordinated work. She shared her own experience during the organization of a jubilee concert under the management of producer and artistic director of the venue, Sergey Perman.
“Absolutely everyone worked impeccably, responsibly, and with dedication, which is why we had full houses. Yes, creativity is about emotions. Sometimes loud, sometimes sharp. But they arise only when everyone sincerely cares about the result,” she noted.
She emphasized that she cannot assess the details of the conflict, as she was not present during the conversations between Pavlik, Rep’yakhova, and Perman.
“But as an artist, I can say one thing: when a person is responsible for the show, they understand all the processes best and do what is necessary to ensure the concert starts and ends decently and triumphantly,” Bilyk shared.

The singer explained why certain procedures during performances, particularly “throat injections,” are necessary to preserve the voice. The artist’s reluctance to receive adrenaline during the intermission was one of the reasons for the conflict at Pavlik’s concert.
“A tight schedule does not always allow for rest; that is why such procedures as throat injections are needed to maintain the vocal cords and are a necessity. They do not harm the artist; on the contrary, they save the voice in difficult conditions,” the singer noted.
Bilyk called it “a common medical practice” that phoniatrists apply for artists to relieve swelling or tension in the vocal cords. She hinted that Pavlik’s wife should have been aware of this.
“For many artists, this is a normal part of the profession when you need to take care of your voice and be ready to go out to the audience. And, frankly, sometimes the question arises – doesn’t the concert director know this?” she noted.

About Perman and leaked videos
Bilyk also touched on the topic of the released recordings regarding the behavior of the artistic director of the Palace “Ukraine.” Earlier, Pavlik’s wife published videos in which he speaks harshly towards her. In one of these recordings, he calls her “an unprofessional woman” and threatens to remove her from the building.
“If everyone starts recording each other on a dictaphone and posting it on social media, then we can easily crucify everyone in this world on Golgotha. I sincerely wish our show business more tolerance and mutual understanding. As it is said in the Bible, sometimes the best way is to be able to forgive each other,” the artist stated.
She also expressed gratitude to Sergey, who previously took care of her health.
“Two weeks before last year’s concerts, I was seriously ill with bilateral pneumonia. My saturation dropped, I couldn’t breathe, I was in the hospital. And it was Perman who arranged with the doctors who fought for my recovery,” Bilyk shared.
“He brought me food, fruits, supported me every day. At that moment, he became the closest person to me, instead of my parents, who are no longer around. And for this, I will always be grateful to him,” she added.
In the comments, Perman and the Palace “Ukraine” expressed their gratitude to the artist for her support.

What Pavlik and Rep’yakhova said about the scandal
According to the artist, unacceptable working conditions were created during the performance. The concert was abruptly stopped without objective grounds.
“I felt good, was in working shape, sang confidently, and had no physical discomfort that could have been a reason to stop the performance,” he said.
Then the communication turned into “public humiliation, psychological pressure, and unacceptable statements,” particularly towards his wife.
“Phrases like ‘your place is at home’ are manifestations of discrimination and have nothing to do with respect for either the person or the profession. I fully support my wife in her position not to remain silent about such things,” the singer explained.

For her part, Ekaterina explained that the organizers stopped the concert allegedly due to “terrible singing,” wanting to inject him with adrenaline, which she did not agree to.
Later, she released recordings of Perman’s angry statements. He himself did not make excuses, calling the Pavliks “professional provocateurs” and urged not to maintain contact with them.
