On December 10, the Prime Time editor Tako Pkhakadze held a press conference on December 10. Speaking at the press conference Tako Pkhakadze said she had been stabbed into her neck with a fork. She survived the physical confrontation with Lali Moroshkina only due the “fork being blunt.” She said it was an attempt of murder, incited by the opinion poll conducted by the newspaper Prime Time, to recognize the winners in various nominations. “Lali Moroshkina won the nomination of the “tasteless woman of the year” following the people’s decision, and that was a sufficient reason to her to try killing me”, Tako Pkhakadze said.
Tako Pkhakadze asserts Moroshkina was drunk and she had the attack against her planned beforehand.
“Later I watched the footage of the incident. The video clearly features Moroshkina standing and saying she would be found in all of the newscasts,” Pkhakadze said.
