Why She Says S*x Should Be Number One... | Lika O | DSH #2069

Episode of Digital Social Hour · July 16, 2026 · 49 min

Sean Kelly talks with singer and Miss Russia pageant founder Lika Osipova about a stalker's smear campaign, Russian stereotypes, and her views on dating and transactional relationships.

Summary

Recorded in Las Vegas, the Digital Social Hour episode featured Russian-born singer Lika Osipova (Lika O) describing roughly a year and a half in which, she said, a woman stalked her and about 25 other people in her industry. Osipova recounted a break-in, a restaurant fire, and numerous online articles falsely labeling her a Russian fraud and accusing her of human trafficking, along with emails sent to media and business contacts that led people to distance themselves. She said she hired a lawyer and a detective and that the FBI eventually arrested the woman.

The conversation turned to hate comments and virality, with Kelly saying he does not block critics because negative engagement helps the algorithm. Osipova explained that she founded the Miss Russia pageant in America, running it for about ten years, to challenge the stereotype that Russian-speaking women are only after money or green cards, and described feeling stigmatized as a Russian after the invasion of Ukraine. She credited music executive Charlie Walk with discovering her and renaming her Lika O.

Much of the second half concerned dating and values. Osipova said she never had sugar daddies, ranked sex above money, urged women to date ambitious men regardless of wealth, and rejected transactional relationships, OnlyFans, and billionaire-dating sites. Kelly described being with one partner since age 20, identifying as sapiosexual, avoiding pornography on health grounds, and deleting TikTok to improve his sleep. Osipova closed by previewing a reality-style relationship show she is developing with Peter Madrigal.
