Kaja Ostojic on Jovana Jeremic Claim: 'Hear This Nonsense'
Ahead of a Belgrade performance, the singer dismissed Jovana Jeremic's claim about being recruited into elite prostitution, and spoke about Milica Pavlovic and her birthday party.
Singer Kaja Ostojic, ahead of a performance at a Belgrade venue, commented on a claim by TV host Jovana Jeremic that people had tried to draw her into elite prostitution early in her career. The Mondo portal published Ostojic’s response on the morning of September 12, a day after an interview in which the singer had first talked about her own birthday.
“Jovana Jeremic says they wanted to draw her into elite prostitution? I never had experiences like that. Hear this nonsense,” Kaja Ostojic told reporters, briefly and sharply, then went on with the interview without further explanation.
Jeremic Had Spoken About This Before
Jovana Jeremic had previously claimed that people tried to draw her into elite prostitution at the start of her career. Kaja Ostojic says she does not recognize herself in that story and never had a similar experience.
In the same conversation, she also touched on fellow singer Milica Pavlovic.
“I respect her as an artist, she puts a lot into her performances and her music, but there are things that shook me on a personal level,” Kaja Ostojic said about Milica Pavlovic.
She did not explain in more detail what she meant. She added only that she would lend Pavlovic clothes if needed, since Pavlovic knows how to style her well.
Ostojic gave the interview right before her performance at the Belgrade venue, the same evening her statement was published. She added that she follows domestic performers less closely, but that she regularly listens to Senida and likes her music.
She Celebrated Her Birthday Two Days Early
Kaja Ostojic marked her birthday with a gala party, two days before the actual date. Before the celebration, she says the pool pump broke down, algae formed in the water, and then something else stopped working as well.
“At one point I sat down and started crying,” the singer said about that morning.
She says she isn’t superstitious and tries not to dwell on things that put her in a bad mood, but that morning she gave in anyway.
The ring arrived well before her birthday. Kaja Ostojic received that gift from her husband.
“My husband gave me a beautiful gift well before my birthday, this ring,” the singer said.
The celebration also coincided with her wedding anniversary, but she did not buy her husband a gift. Kaja Ostojic says she collects jewelry and loves Cartier’s Panthere collection most of all. She also announced that she plans to clear out her closet and sell most of her clothes.
During the conversation she also mentioned that she is preparing a song for PZE, that it is not a love song, and that everyone will see themselves in it. She said she has a weekend house on Kosmaj and is no longer building anything there, putting her money into her career instead. Asked whether she had cosmetic procedures done to lose weight, she answered with a laugh that she was the first among her fellow singers to do so, only no one knew about it at the time. She added that she has insulin resistance, that she trains hard every day because of it, and that she is sick of diets and starving herself.
Telegraf was the first to write about the birthday celebration, on September 11 at 11:42 PM. Mondo published the reaction to Jovana Jeremic’s statement the next morning, September 12, without a precise publication time listed.
Two articles, two angles on the same evening: one about the party and the gifts, the other about the response to someone else’s claim, and Kaja Ostojic kept the same tone on both days, open about her private life and short with anyone who tries to tie her into someone else’s story.
