Romanian singer Alexandra Stan claims she was beaten up by manager after dispute over money
BUCHAREST, Romania – Romanian prosecutors say they are investigating a claim made by a popular singer that she was beaten up by her manager after a dispute over money.
Alexandra Stan, whose 2010 hit “Mr. Saxobeat” sold almost 1 million copies in less than a year and reached the top five in over twenty countries, filed a complaint with prosecutors Tuesday alleging she was beaten by her manager, Marcel Prodan, after she had asked for her earnings.
Police spokesman Gelu Manolescu told The Associated Press police has picked up Stan from a side of the road where she was having an argument with Prodan, and took the bruised 24-year-old singer to hospital Saturday where she was treated and released.
Television interviews with the diminutive singer — who had black eyes and bruises on her body — and broadcast on national channels, have shocked many Romanians. Attempts to reach Prodan were not immediately successful.
