Mr Ryezin claimed she was suffering from alcoholism and depression and taking drugs as her popularity dried up away from the spotlight.

Without cash coming in, he claimed she turned to prostitution to keep up her glamourous lifestyle of designer clothes and luxury holidays. 

'She did not know what to do, what to work as. She hoped that she would get a luxurious life right after coming to Moscow,' he said.

Mr Ryezin said the pair lived together in his flat for two and a half months but split up over her work as a so-called model.

'Well, that kind of model... She was in fact working as an escort. Basically she was working as a prostitute. This is why I split up with her,' he said.

'She's long been on drugs, meds to calm her down, she loved smoking weed, but I am against all that. I would constantly get into fights with her.'

After breaking up with Ms Tarasyuk, Mr Ryezin said that he did not see her for about a year until they met up again recently.

'We used to live together but I would still find out that she was sleeping with other men, old guys. Even though I was providing her with money,' he said.
