Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, known for his controversial pranks and stunts, faced significant legal repercussions following his actions in the Philippines. In April 2025, he was arrested in Bonifacio Global City for a series of disruptive behaviors during a livestream. These actions included harassing security personnel, stealing items such as a motorcycle and an electric fan, and recording individuals without consent .
The question arises: was Vitaly “possessed” during these incidents? While the term “possessed” is typically associated with supernatural phenomena, in this context, it may metaphorically refer to his apparent loss of control or judgment during the events. Reports suggest that his behavior was erratic and disrespectful, actions that are inconsistent with the norms of both his previous content and the cultural expectations of his host country.
Following his arrest, Vitaly faced multiple charges, including theft, vandalism, and unjust vexation. He was labeled an “undesirable foreign national” by Philippine authorities and detained at the Bureau of Immigration Bicutan Detention Center in Taguig . His actions have sparked widespread criticism and have had a lasting impact on his reputation and career.
In conclusion, while there is no evidence to suggest that Vitaly Zdorovetskiy was literally possessed, his behavior in the Philippines was certainly out of character and has led to serious legal and personal consequences.
