Helena Englert faces criticism as music gigs expand

Overview

Following her Męskie Granie appearances and a performance at the Olsztyn Green Festival under the pseudonym Hela on 15 August, Helena Englert’s career trajectory continued to draw scrutiny. In early September, singer Patrycja Markowska publicly defended Englert against ongoing nepotism claims following the announcement of Englert’s participation in ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Markowska, noting she has faced similar scrutiny during her own 25-year career, praised Englert’s versatility in music and acting. She cautioned that destructive criticism could be a ‘great loss for Polish show business’ and encouraged Englert to remain resilient. By 12 September, Englert emerged as a top performer in the 19th edition of ‘Dancing with the Stars’, securing a first-place position with 28 points. In response to the public debate surrounding her family background, judge Tomasz Wygoda defended the performer, noting that children of famous individuals often face heightened scrutiny and advising Englert to follow her own ‘ethical compass’. On 14 September, Englert and partner Roman Osadchiy performed a Viennese Waltz, earning 30 points and a standing ovation. By 19 September, Englert’s technical range expanded to include a samba, earning her a perfect 10 from guest judge Maryla Rodowicz. During the fourth episode on 27 September, Englert addressed the psychological toll of online harassment, revealing she has been on medication for 1.5 years due to negative comments regarding allegations of nepotism linked to her role in ‘Hamlet’ at the National Theatre. On 29 September, actor Daniel Olbrychski joined the public defense of Englert, stating that her talent deserves recognition and noting that a famous surname can actually be a hindrance due to increased scrutiny. By early October, Englert solidified her position as a frontrunner in the competition. Performing with Roman Osadchiy, she achieved a high score of 35 points for a cha-cha performance.
