DISINFORMATION CASE DETAILS

DISINFO: Greta Thunberg is the love child of a Russian film director with a prostitute

SUMMARY

Film director and actor Stanislav Baretsky claims that he in early 2000’s was dating a girl, who was “working the hotels”. The actor admits that he at the time was worshiping the girl and didn’t care about her profession. His beloved decided to go for another man and left for Sweden, where she, according to Baretsky, gave birth to a girl that she left for adoption. […] The woman from the past contacted Mr. Baretsky recently and declared that Greta is his daughter.

RESPONSE

An attempt to defame the Swedish activist and her family. There is no evidence to support Mr. Baretsky's claims.
