In addition to two daughters, Anna Sedokova has a young son Hector - all her children from previous relationships. About the novel of the former soloist of the group "VIA Gra" and Latvian basketball player Janis Timma became known in 2019, and a year later the couple got married. Relationships were not simple - the spouses often quarreled and, at times, shared the details of the strife in social networks. In September, the singer published a post in which she announced her intention to divorce. "They say that a woman becomes more beautiful after divorce. Well, let's see," the star wrote then. In October, she had already officially filed the documents (information about this appeared in the electronic database of the courts of general jurisdiction of Moscow), and on December 9 it became known about the dissolution of her third marriage.

After the news of Timm's death, some users instead of words of support began to write insults against the singer and accuse her of ruining the career of the athlete and bringing him to suicide. Anna Sedokova eventually closed the comments to her publications in social networks, but the haters continued on the page of the deceased.

"Sedokova took him away from his family, then played around, he had less money, and she did not need him became. Such a bright guy was. Naive, kind..." - writes one of the users.

"A young guy spoiled life," - believes another.

In a similar situation was the ex-girlfriend of the ex-soloist of the British band One Direction Liam Payne, who died on October 16. Fans hounded Maya Henry and also rushed to blame her for the death of their idol.

People in the modern world do not tolerate uncertainty well, so blaming someone for this or that event is easier for society than simply accepting the situation, says clinical psychologist Natalia Ivanova.

- Modernity is sharpened for waves of hate, and the ability to leave comments anonymously only encourages some people to spread it. Their negativity may actually have nothing to do with Anna," the specialist explained.

Natalia Ivanova recommended in cases of hate in social networks to organize a digital detox.

Also psychologist Natalia Naumova is in agreement with her colleague. According to her, there are many people with different opinions in social networks, and it is important to remember that regardless of what they write, it does not change the personality, and the person from their judgments does not become worse. The psychologist advises to experience loss slowly, step by step, not to force the events. According to her, it is very important at such moments to seek help from a specialist.

- If there is no such opportunity and a person is forced to cope with the loss on his own, then first of all it is important to watch your breathing, it should be even, - said the expert. - It is also necessary to pay attention to feelings, not to keep them inside, but to let them come out - to shout or cry if desired. It is also important to keep track of experiences, to record them, for example, on paper or on a tape recorder. Then reread or re-listen in a more stable state and try to rethink the situation.

Thus, according to the psychologist, a person will be able to get out of the crisis without damage to health or with minimal damage.
