Kristijan Golubović suspended after dog‑abuse accusations by Kristina Spalević
Former reality‑TV figure Kristijan Golubović has been accused by his ex‑partner Kristina Spalević of violently abusing and killing their Chihuahua dog, which she says died after he struck it in a bathtub while she was nursing a two‑month‑old infant. Spalević posted a series of video clips on social media showing the alleged abuse and gave a detailed account of the incident, including fleeing the apartment with her baby in a pair of underwear.
Following the accusations, Željko Mitrović, owner of Pink Media Group and the Red TV channel, suspended both Golubović and Spalević from the broadcaster. The scandal prompted reactions from a number of public figures – singers, influencers and other reality‑TV participants – who condemned the alleged animal cruelty and expressed support for Spalević. Animal‑rights groups called for a police investigation, and former reality‑TV participant Filip Car posted his own video, accusing Golubović of the abuse and alleging he had received threats from him. Reports also mentioned that Golubović was said to have travelled to Crikvenica to meet Car, though this was not independently confirmed. Legal proceedings are pending.
