Truth rating: 10
October 13th, 2011
As Gossip Cop previously reported, Hilary Swank and Jean-Claude Van Damme were among the stars in Grozny, Chechnya on October 5 to celebrate Chechen Republic president Ramzan Kadyrov’s 35th birthday party.
The problem is that Kadyrov, according to the Human Rights Foundation (HRF), has been “accused of using torture, causing disappearances, and authorizing extrajudicial executions” since taking office in 2007.
Now, the actress, who wished Kadyrov a “Happy Birthday” onstage, is apologizing for her participation.
