“Victim of Mall Prank Shares Traumatic Experience on YouTube Channel”

After the clip, I locked myself in a room, I was afraid to leave the house, I didn’t feel like going anywhere. I didn’t feel like talking to anyone, not even my parents. This was commented by 20-year-old Denislav, who became the victim of a bully in the mall on “Perushtitsa” street in Plovdiv and was tied on a leash like a dog.

The young man did not appear on television, but chose to share his story on Stanislav Tsanov’s “Tsanov Napred i Nagore” YouTube channel.

“I was afraid of Tosho Kukata. I locked myself in one room at home. My parents reacted badly to all this with the clip, they can’t sleep because of it,” said Denislav.

Regarding his meeting with the three influencers, the boy indicated that the relationship was made with the assistance of his colleague named Stoyan.

“He wanted 20 BGN to meet me with the Chechen. I gave them. I had not seen them until that moment,” said Denislav.

After their first meeting, the influencers and the boy shot three videos. The first is in a large chain of hypermarkets – on it Denislav rides the Chechen. In the second clip, the 20-year-old plays the role of a waiter and serves gyros to the Chechen.

“They wanted the social networks to explode. To have a lot of viewership,” explained Denislav.

On the day of the prank, the boy goes to the mall, where the influencers are already waiting for him. “They sat me down and told me I was late. They made me pay for Emily and her friends’ taxi,” recalls Denislav.

Then he told that the friend of Emily Trotinetka – Tihomir/Melissa took out the leash with which he was being led like a dog. “They had already put the belt on me. The hook was telling me what to do. He told me to do everything Emily ordered me to do. They threw a cup at me and wanted me to carry it like a dog,” the young man pointed out.

When asked if the visitors of the mall reacted in any way to the prank, Denislav answered:

“People stood by and laughed, took pictures. Some even wanted to take a picture with the Chechen. No one reacted negatively.”

Asked why he obeyed – whether out of a desire for fame or fear, Denislav pointed to the latter.

The young man said that Stoyan, with whom he worked together for several months, constantly told him about the Chechen – that he was very famous and that he made wads of money. He told the host that he was teased and insulted at school, that he was mentally ill, he was constantly sent to serve and play tricks on boys and girls at the store.

“I wanted to become a football player,” Denislav said frankly.

His lawyer Dimitar Kirov, who defends him free of charge, showed a study from 2020, which clearly states that the boy is very easily manipulated and that he is susceptible to suggestions. “This makes it impossible to oppose those people who, seeing his condition, do step by step what they want,” commented the lawyer. Kirov.

The boy’s mother pointed out that she had raised him to be good to such an extent that he had become extremely naive.
