Maybe not everyone knows Olena Filonova, but many have seen her on television more than once. She rose to fame thanks to the show "Who’s Against Blondes?", and afterward the woman began receiving other offers for collaborations.
Filonova took part in projects such as "I Am a Hero", "Drink If You Can", "Bright Minds", "Pack Your Bags" and "Piranhas." When Mykola Tyshchenko joined the show "Revizor," the host also got a role. She inspected beauty salons and cosmetic centers. Later the woman even wanted to go into politics, writes 24 Channel.
Politics and Civic Position
In 2020 she announced that she was running for mayor of Kyiv. At first everyone thought it was a joke, but even the Kyiv City State Administration confirmed it.
I understand that you find it funny, but this is serious. I want you to look at me from a different perspective, and not see me as a person who doesn’t have the strength to change things for the better,
– the host wrote at the time.

When the full-scale war began, Olena engaged in volunteer work. But already in June 2022 she reported health problems and said that people were profiting from humanitarian aid. The blogger said that "it became difficult to distinguish those who really need help."

Where Olena Filonova Is Now and What She’s Doing
Later the celebrity almost disappeared from the Ukrainian public space. It turned out that for 1,5 years she lived in Nice, France. In 1 April 2025 she finally returned to Ukraine.
For those who didn’t know, Olena’s uncle is fashion designer Oleksiy Zalevskyi. The man said that his niece has matured and tries to use the "dumb blonde" image less.
As for her activities, the blogger has her own clothing brand and recently even debuted as a singer. In 42 she released her first song, but listeners reacted ambiguously.
Yes, I’m starting a solo career. My first cool song is coming out, it’s called Lady Kiss. I’m now the new star of Ukrainian show business. Star number one who will win every heart,

Some users expressed admiration for the singer’s work, while others criticized it because they didn’t like the song.
In the spring the celebrity also revealed her earnings. It turned out that during the full-scale war her income level fell. For example, in April 2026 her income from Instagram advertising was 15 thousand hryvnias. But Filonova is not going to work for lower rates, because she knows her worth.
Recently we also mentioned TV host Lidiya Taran, who left Ukraine. Earlier she was the wife of Ukrainian presenter Andriy Domanskyi.
