The second offense concerns the rape story, "a false allegation of abuse based entirely on Joakim Boström as a source, with no evidence, no witnesses, no fact-checking ." Shaman Durek continues to maintain his innocence. "Let me be clear: I have never assaulted anyone. Including my Swedish manager at the time, Joakim Boström. The accusation was false, malicious, and strategically orchestrated to hurt me and my loved ones."
Durek's mother and one of his sisters were widely publicized in the press, both before and after the wedding. "Lies were told by disgraced members of my family, former partners, former friends, and a wellness guide who had become a media-hungry opportunist. People driven by personal vendettas and self-interest. Se og Hør handed them a megaphone ," explains the princess's husband.
Finally, Durek opened up about the pain and anxiety that all these rumors have had on his morale and health. He recalls that he lost his kidney transplant a few years ago and that he has to undergo dialysis three times a week "just to survive. These attacks have not only been emotionally painful. They have made this fight more difficult." He says he "stands with" the "real survivors of abuse," some of whom, like the Norwegian magazine did for him, have profited from their pain. "It's dangerous and shameful. I believe in a free press, but I believe even more in truth, responsibility, and ethics. Journalism should serve the public, not manipulate it ," the shaman concludes.
