Karleusa: "Did He Really Do That?" Tosic Cropped Her Out

Jelena Karleusa found out live on the Amidzi Show that her ex husband Dusko Tosic had left her out of the photos from their daughters’ Atina and Nika joint birthday celebration, according to the portals 24sedam and Novosti.

When the host asked her whether she knew that Tosic had posted pictures from the party on his own profile, but without her in them, Karleusa was caught off guard.

“He didn’t really do that, did he? Did he actually do that? Check, just tell me. That’s really uncalled for if he did.”

Since she heard the question for the first time on air, the singer immediately tried to get to the bottom of it. She talked to people in the audience and asked exactly what was in the photos Tosic had posted.

“Did he only put up the kids? So I’m not in it? What about him? Is it him and the kids?”

The question came up because of the party Karleusa and Tosic had thrown for their daughters a few days earlier. The portal 24sedam mentions “Nika and Atina’s birthday” in its headline, while Karleusa explained on the show that the girls were marking two different milestones that day. As she put it, it was Atina’s 18th birthday, meaning she became a legal adult, and Nika’s 17th, with her own coming of age still a year off. The celebration was held jointly for both daughters, but only Atina actually turned 18.

“There was enormous tension, Atina’s 18th birthday and Nika’s 17th, and it was more stressful for me than for them. I burst into tears. Dusko and I, after so many years of not being on good terms… I heard those kind words, because a mother still wants to hear that confirmation from the man she had children with, to hear him say something so nice… And he said it, after all these years.”

Karleusa explained that this acknowledgment meant the most to her, because, as she put it, she rarely got it from Tosic during their long marriage. For the first time in years of a difficult relationship, she heard the father of her children publicly confirm that she is a good mother.

The host then asked a question that went straight to the heart of their relationship: could Karleusa say with certainty that the story with her ex husband is over for good. Still visibly affected by the earlier question about the cropped photos, the singer gave a short answer.

“Now, after that first question, yes.”

She added a sentence that sounded like a comment on her own answer, “you see, things are just starting to be great, and…”, without finishing the thought.

That same night, the Amidzi Show brought another emotionally charged moment. While Karleusa was talking about her relationship with Tosic, contestant Jovana Jeremic and her partner Tigar kissed live on the show.

Karleusa and Tosic are parents to two daughters, Atina and Nika, and for years, both before and after their divorce, they have been at the center of public attention in Serbia because of a relationship that was never simple. Their public exchanges through the media and social networks used to be an almost regular topic, which is why the acknowledgment on the Amidzi Show carried extra weight for the singer, as she herself said.

Whether Dusko Tosic really did post the photos without Karleusa, and whether he will respond to her comments, remains unknown for now. Neither he nor his representative had commented on the claims from the show by the time this article was published.
