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. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-31: Kristijan Golubović Assaulted by Kristina Spalević’s Father in TikTok Live Kristina Spalević’s father assaulted ex‑son‑in‑law Kristijan Golubović on a TikTok livestream, denouncing him while Golubović faces a dog‑killing investigation. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kristijan-golubovi-assaulted-by-kristina-spalevis-father-in-tiktok-live ### 2026-07-27: Kristijan Golubović faces criminal charge over alleged dog killing in Serbia Kristijan Golubović was charged in Serbia for alleged brutal killing of a dog, prompting a public prosecutor investigation, media backlash and network suspensions. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/andrea-golubi-announces-fathers-death ### 2026-07-25: Kristijan Golubović suspended after dog‑abuse accusations by Kristina Spalević Kristijan Golubović was accused by ex‑partner Kristina Spalević of killing their dog; both were suspended from Red TV, sparking public outrage and calls for police investigation. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/kristina-spalevi-harassed-online-following-breakup-with-kristijan-golubovi --- Cite as: Golubović dog abuse controversy.
