Gleb Savchenko Alleges Ex-Wife and Fiancé Sent Inappropriate Texts to Teen Daughter
PUBLISHED Aug 30, 2026, 3:14 PM ET
Professional dancer Gleb Savchenko filed Los Angeles court documents alleging his ex-wife, Elena Samodanova, and her fiancé sent inappropriate and demeaning text messages to their teenage daughter, Olivia. The legal filing states the communication included explicit inquiries regarding Savchenko's personal life following a Las Vegas trip, causing emotional distress amid an ongoing international custody dispute. Representatives for Samodanova denied the allegations, characterizing them as false claims manufactured for media attention. The dispute highlights growing co-parenting tensions between the former spouses, who share two daughters following the finalization of their divorce. Family law attorneys emphasize that involving children in post-separation conflicts frequently prompts heightened judicial scrutiny regarding parental conduct and communication boundaries. Court evaluators may review electronic correspondence to determine whether the messages violated prior custody agreements or negatively impacted the minor. Both legal teams prepare for forthcoming hearings to address custody modifications and communication restrictions in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
