WTH: 8-YEAR-OLD Social Media Star ‘Dating’ 13-Year-Old Influencer — With Her Mom’s Blessing
An 8-year-old Ukrainian social media star has revealed that she is dating a 13-year-old fellow influencer, with her mother’s blessing.
The scandal has resulted in a massive uproar in the nation — especially considering that the girl’s mother, Darya Makhanets, who runs her social media accounts, has been posting disturbing photos of the child with the teenager.
In one now-deleted post, the teenager posted a photo of the child brushing her teeth in her underwear. In another, the two appear to be in bed with each other.
The child, Milana Makhanets, has almost seven million followers on Singaporean video-sharing app Likee, a TikTok-style platform popular with Russian and Ukrainian kids. She also has over a half a million followers on Instagram.
