Exclusive: The Woman Lindsay Lohan Called A ‘Russian Hooker’ Fires Back: Egor Would Never Cheat

The woman Lindsay Lohan claimed
had an affair with her fiancé is speaking out.

In a series of now-deleted social
media posts from over the weekend, Lindsay had accused Egor Tarabasov of
cheating on her with fashion designer Dasha Pashevkina, whom the actress accused of being a “Russian hooker.” Dasha denied the allegations in an Instagram post on Monday, and said she intends to press charges for defamation of character. 

On Tuesday, Dasha fired back in an exclusive interview conducted via email with Access Hollywood, denying Lindsay’s accusations as
“shocking,” “attention seeking” and completely out of
character for Egor.

“Egor is
such a nice and loyal guy and he would never cheat on [Lindsay],” she
said. “He actually loves her and cares for her.”

Dasha said she’s known Egor for
five years and has “never been involved” with him beyond their
friendship, and that she and Lindsay “hit it off as friends right
away” after being introduced about a year and a half ago.

The two apparently bonded over
their mutual love for clothes, with Dasha lending the actress a dress from her
clothing line, PA5H, to wear at the Elle Style Awards shortly after they met.
Dasha told Access she later introduced Lindsay and Egor because she “knew
he would take good care of her.”

Dasha said Lindsay’s recent
allegations “would
actually be hilarious if it had not been so upsetting to my family,”
explaining that she has spoken to the police about death threats she’s received
from the actress’ fans.

“I’ve always
been her loyal friend and I thought she always had my back no matter
what,” Dasha said, adding that she has “defended [Lindsay] on many
occasions.”

Lindsay and Egor’s romance hit
public scandal in early July, when reports surfaced that she had thrown his
phone into the ocean following an argument during her birthday party in
Mykonos, Greece, and that Egor had poured a drink on her in response.

While Lindsay later clarified on social media that
the incident was misunderstood and blown out of proportion, Dasha claims that Lindsay and Egor’s relationship has “been rocky to say the
least,” and that she can’t imagine Egor instigating any physical
altercation.

“Egor never
been violent, period,” Dasha told Access. “He’s always been a very kind and
caring person.”

She went on to claim that Lindsay has “pushed him to breaking point several times in front of me,
but he would just leave and let her cool down.”

Dasha said that Lindsay first
accused her of having inappropriate relations with Egor after seeing photos of
the two of them posing together with friends.

According to Dasha, Lindsay
rescinded her invitation to the Mykonos party with an explanation posted in the comments of a WhatsApp group chat that said, “Your
touching of my fiancé is inappropriate, out of line and quite saddening.”

Although Dasha told Access that she had told
Lindsay at the time that she was still welcome at her birthday bash, Egor came
up to her at the Chiltern Firehouse in London over the weekend to apologize for
the dust-up. However, Dasha claimed, Lindsay was outside the venue taking
“non-stop” video to try and “provoke aggression.”

A few minutes later, Dasha
discovered Lindsay’s “nasty post on Instagram.”

As for whether Egor and Lindsay
have a future together in light of their recent drama, Dasha told Access that
Lindsay needs to focus on herself before trying to patch things up with her
fiancé.

“Lindsay needs to deal with her issues first,” she said. “I don’t believe she’s in a place where she can have a friendship, let alone a loving relationship based on trust. I really hope Lindsay regrets her actions, but she needs to stop repeating the same mistakes over and over again. She had a new home, someone that cared about her and her friends around her, yet she’s destroyed a fresh start over nothing.”

Dasha added that while Egor has said he’s sorry “several times for [Lindsay’s] behavior,” she has contacted Lindsay’s rep for what she calls a “well-deserved” apology from the actress herself and has yet to receive a response.

Access Hollywood has reached out to Lindsay and Egor’s reps for comment. As of Tuesday, neither party has responded, but Lindsay seemed to address the issue with a cryptic apology on social media.

This time, the actress assured her Instagram followers she is “good and well” despite having “exposed certain private matters recently. … out of fear and sadness.”
