Blogger and model Oksana Samoilova, mother of four and ex-wife of rapper Dzhigan, posted a rare photo of her eldest daughter Ariela on social media to mark her 15th birthday, according to infohub.kz.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Samoilova wrote: "My most secretive child. One photo a year and no other media appearances. A child who wanted to express herself on her own terms, but was harassed by grown women. Only we, her close ones, know who you really are: kind, responsive, creative, mature, caring, sensitive, and beautiful. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that... I will always be on your side, even if the whole world is against you. Forgive me if I did something wrong and hurt you. I'm learning to be a mother with you, experiencing all the stages of growing up for the first time. I don't always know what's right, but I'm trying my best."
Social media users also congratulated Ariela, with comments such as "Happy birthday!", "You've grown up so much", "Wow, she looks just like Oksana", and "Those grown women who harass others often hide their own insecurities and inner dissatisfaction."
