Golubović dog abuse controversy

Entities: Kristina Spalević · Kristijan Golubović · Željko Mitrović · Koko (chihuahua) · Andrea Golubić

Overview

In late July 2026, former reality‑TV personality Kristijan Golubović was accused by his ex‑partner Kristina Spalević of violently abusing and killing their Chihuahua. Video clips posted by Spalević prompted Red TV owner Željko Mitrović to suspend both from the broadcaster. An animal‑rights association filed a criminal complaint on 27 July with the Basic Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade, demanding forensic analysis of digital devices and witness interviews. Golubović responded with a livestream featuring a new Chihuahua named Koko and released a veterinarian’s assessment attributing the dog’s condition to neurological issues. Commentator Filip Car criticised the pair, alleging a cover‑up. The scandal escalated on 31 July when Kristina Spalević’s father assaulted Golubović during a joint TikTok livestream, denouncing him as a “megalomaniac” and further fueling public outrage. Prosecutors have opened a case and police are gathering additional evidence, while the controversy continues to dominate Serbian media and animal‑rights advocacy.
