They all live by fear and straight face. Each has an operative checking in all their movements. Contacts and communications forever monitored. Pathetic life indeed.

[@ReasonNotFightFlight]

As pathetic as anyone else's. lol.

[@kaykenney2504]

The interviewer talks too much.

[@Zobeida-ep2ku]

Dear Alexandra! I also adore just about everything Russian! Good luck all the best of the very best!

[@samgagner5200]

A good interviewer speaks less, listens more.

I think the Great Britain must be very funny place, I was there once and I felt that. I remember how the shopkeeper of a watchstore, when she offered me help, I replied "NO", she was in tears, "Shame on you", and immediately left, so, I had a free hand to grab anything I wanted. The Great Britain is very funny place.

[@karaklaussen2299]

They forgot to mention the part where she got pregnant with Sergei's baby and lied to the first husband about it being his...he didn't find out about it until after the child was born and she ran off to Sergei's villa in the south of france

[@SuzanneSmith-u2k]

God Lorraine does not shut up

[@mogeking56]

I stole money for Putin and he still called me a traitor

[@lorelei1761]

She couldn’t handle being with the poor Cossack so she cheated on him with the Russian billionaire and quickly had 3 children with him to pin him down. When she found out she couldn’t travel around the world and live a free life.. that in his hour of need, her partner expected her and the children to stay with him.. she left and took the kids with her. It’s very wrong that she won’t let him see his children.

[@RJ1234-d1s]

There's something abrasive about her..

[@Zobeida-ep2ku]

Why? What?

[@georgecoman5342]

Today princess, tomorrow beggar. =Not wise woman. 👎

[@marykay7878]

she is a countess by birth, and since she never married pugachev, she keeps her title.

[@robertmahler8894]

I wish the presenter would stay quiet, she does not know that we don't understand much of what she says with that heavy accent.

[@JonWintersGold]

Ooooooooh harsh 😂

[@olechkamimi]

Please never go to Russia

[@jodievukmir3187]

So magical broke up two marriages.. Gold digger versus thhief

[@Flyrabbit1]

I think she needs to find a way to make peace to some extent for the children

[@jodievukmir3187]

That's right he never married her

[@GeraldineBroussard-ri3bg]

She follows the money.

[@nijolejonusis9425]

[@KentDonaldson]

As if Lorraine has read any Tolstoy

[@millymay0025]

Fascinating woman, unfortunately Lorraine isn’t really the best best to interview her, she lacks the insight needed, seems to be armed with false information and talks over her. Shame.

[@beverlyanello9099]

This interviewer does all the talking! Ridiculous.

[@adammckenzie8769]

She was ok with it all when she was getting rich out of it all

She'd jump at the chance to marry Putin

[@ReasonNotFightFlight]

LOL. No doubt the Daniel Craig look alike leader was a hottie when he was younger.
