  • Former Yugoslavian TV personality Suzana Mančić reported receiving disturbing messages that escalated to threats and emotional manipulation.
  • Mančić sought help from the high-tech crime department multiple times due to individuals who imposed themselves on her, causing her to feel threatened.
  • The messages included statements like 'You ruined my life' and 'I will kill myself because of you,' prompting her to report the incidents to authorities.

Suzana Mančić, a legendary television host and one of the most famous "loto djevojke" (lottery girls) from the former Yugoslavia, continues to captivate audiences with her energy and appearance. However, her popularity has a darker side, as she recently revealed that disturbing messages forced her to seek assistance from the high-tech crime department.

Mančić explained that the line between charming advances and outright harassment is often crossed on social media. "They slide into everyone's DMs these days, so of course, they slide into mine too," she stated. While she tolerates polite advances, she blocks anyone who crosses the line, noting the prevalence of "rude men."

The situations she faced were not always harmless, leading her to contact authorities on several occasions. She specifically sought help from the high-tech crime department due to individuals who became overly persistent, creating a genuine sense of unease. In such instances, she would hand over her mobile device for examination, allowing investigators to identify the perpetrators.

What concerns her most are the relentless messages that evolve into direct threats or attempts at emotional manipulation. "It's silly to even quote, but messages like 'You ruined my life,' 'I'll kill myself because of you' arrived," Mančić told Serbian media. "When these messages don't stop, when they repeat and have continuity, it really becomes worrying."
