Srecko Susic Denies Affair Claims About Indira Radic
The singer broke a 35 year silence to deny businessman Fetah Mujic's claim that he caught him with Indira Radic, addressing it for the first time on the show 'Pretres' on Hype TV.
Singer Srecko Susic on September 28, on the show “Pretres” on Hype TV, responded for the first time to claims by Fetah Mujic, the owner of a Vienna venue, that he had caught him in an intimate relationship with fellow singer Indira Radic. Until his appearance on the show, neither Susic nor Radic had commented on the allegations.
Mujic first told the story on the podcast “Fajrontske Price,” claiming the alleged encounter took place at the very start of Indira’s career, when the singer, according to him, had just arrived from Zagreb and gave her first performance at his venue. He claims Indira was living with Susic at the time and that he witnessed their relationship.
The host of “Pretres” asked Susic directly whether it was true that he had been caught in a sexual relationship with Indira Radic. The singer began his answer by explaining why he had stayed silent until now.
No, I stayed quiet about it. I didn’t want to raise a topic that would keep growing, because if I say ‘no’ now, someone else will say ‘yes’ again, and then it ends up dragged through the courts and who knows what else. Silence is golden.
He said that was also why he had not addressed the claims earlier, though he added he did not understand why the story was surfacing only now, so many years after the event Mujic describes.
Well, how come nobody mentioned anything 35 years ago, and only now. That I really don’t understand. I’m getting on in years now, and now you’re telling me this… I don’t get it, it doesn’t matter at all, someone needed the publicity.
The host then pressed him to state clearly, once and for all, whether Mujic’s claims were true. Susic kept it brief: “Absolutely not true,” he said on the show.
According to what Mujic himself said on “Fajrontske Price,” his account refers to a period 35 years ago, meaning the very start of the 1990s, when Indira Radic was just building her career in Serbia. Although he described details such as Indira having curly, tousled hair at the time and having worked as a nurse before turning to singing, Mujic offered no evidence beyond his own account.
As of this article’s publication, Indira Radic had not commented on either Mujic’s claims or Susic’s denial. Little is generally known about her private life. She has publicly confirmed only two relationships: one with Goran Kurtum, which lasted until the end of 2015, and a long term relationship with producer Goran Ratkovic Rale, with whom she continued to work professionally for years even after they separated.
Susic, known for the song “Ulica radja gresnike” (Streets Breed Sinners), maintains that the entire story is invented, and says he sees no reason for it to surface now, three and a half decades after the period Mujic describes.
