Filip Car Responds to Golubovic: 'He Begged for 20 Days'

Filip Car used a TikTok livestream to answer Kristijan Golubovic publicly for the first time, after Golubovic released a voice message in which Car admits to being intimate with Kristina Spalevic while he was in the reality show. Car insists he stayed silent about it for five years and only confessed after Golubovic spent days pushing him to tell the truth.

The recording, Car says, was put out as Golubovic’s defense. His version is that the conversation happened in private, at Golubovic’s own request, and that Golubovic went on to continue his relationship with Spalevic afterward.

Twenty days of pleading, then a confession

Car laid out the whole sequence himself in the livestream, with no one relaying it for him. The first part of what he said addressed why he thinks releasing the message wasn’t a defense at all, but the opposite.

You put out, as your own defense, a confession of something the whole world already knew, because it was all filmed and it was a public secret. He begged me and moaned for me to admit it, and once I said it, he made up with her afterward and only released the recordings later, once he had no other option left. I stayed quiet for five years, and now a man of almost 60 puts this out publicly like it's some kind of defense of his.

He then moved straight to what he says hurt him the most: insults he claims were also directed at his child.

An old geezer of 56 is insulting my two year old child. I wish them nothing but the worst. He threatened to kill me, publicly. I think he only dug his own hole, because he proved he can stoop low enough to record something and then release it. He begged me for twenty days and swore on everything I hold dear over the phone, he was whining to me.

The accusation of a death threat is the most serious thing he said. Whether those threats were ever reported anywhere was not addressed in the livestream.

Why the two numbers don’t match

In the same statement, Car gives two different ages for the same person. He first says “a man of almost 60,” then a few sentences later, “56 years old.” Neither figure has been confirmed. Both are simply part of his statement, not something anyone has verified.

A similar problem follows the timeline. “Five years” places the conversations and the incident in an early-2020s season of the show, but Car never names which specific edition he means. When a statement is reported as news, the gap between an approximate figure and an exact one is what separates a claim from evidence.

A two year old caught in the middle

Car has a two year old daughter, and that is the only detail about the child that has been made public. The child’s name is not being published, regardless of the fact that both parents are public figures who raised the subject in front of cameras themselves.

The child’s mother is Aleksandra, with whom Car shares custody. He also mentioned her while talking about entering the new season of the show, as the person he coordinates with on logistics.

Elita 10 as the last stop

This conflict is unfolding just as Car has already signed on for Elita 10. He says it will be his final season on the show, and that he is retiring from that line of work once it ends.

The call itself caught me off guard, I didn't even expect Zeljko Mitrovic to be the one calling me. At some point I figured my reality TV career was over, but here we are, this is the anniversary season I'll be retiring on.

He also says his family did not support the decision.

You can never really be ready for a reality show, it's like trying to prepare for life itself. You never know what's going to happen, who's going to walk through that door. My family reacted strongly, they don't want to see me in there, not in shows like that. They don't know what could happen, and I'd just started living a different kind of life. They didn't support the decision, of course, but once I decide something there's no turning back, that's just how it is.

What comes next is not hard to guess. A story that stayed private for five years is now heading into a season where fights get broadcast live, and Car is walking into it with an open score to settle against the man who released the message. The format runs on exactly that kind of thing, so it is unlikely the subject stays off screen.

For now, the only things that are public are what the two of them put out themselves: one voice message and one livestream. Everything else is one side’s claims, spoken during a broadcast that no one edited.
