Dmitry Khrustalev, a well-known Russian comedian and TV presenter, was removed from a Rossiya airline flight on July 28 due to drunken misbehavior. The incident occurred as he was preparing to fly from Kaliningrad to Moscow after filming “Golosyashchiy KiViN” in Svetlogorsk.

An administrative report has been filed against Khrustalev regarding the incident.

As of yet, Khrustalev has not released any statement or commented on the matter on any of his social media accounts.
