The lady clarified that although Trahov approached her, there was no relationship between them, and nothing private happened.
She added that, not being open to any contact, she allegedly gave him a fake phone number and name to discourage him from pursuing her further.
She recounted the encounter, which happened on January 14, 2026, saying:
“I did not do anything with him. I only gave him a fake number to get him off my back. I don’t even live there.”
According to her, the videos shared online were edited to create a false impression of what actually occurred.

The lady’s response sparked debate online, with netizens weighing in on her claims. Here are some of their reactions to her sentiments:

“I actually believe some of the ladies, it’s insane to believe everything the guy put up there. What’s your name, how old are you? Cant be that easy.”
emperor_alcapone:
“So you are a real estate agent. And you went to your prospective clients place in the evening. Not day time, not lets meet at a public place. But his place. Why should we not believe that you are trying to save face?”
chop_your_house_matter:
“Your man won’t believe you daaaa😂😂😂 you no get office make he come so you discuss it there??? And why did you went there alone? That was the problem.”

How did the Russian guy get women to his apartment?
In another story, a real estate lady featured in the viral Trahov videos shared her version of the events. She said they first met at a mall, where she believed he might be a potential property client.
The lady explained that she later went to his apartment to discuss the property, but left immediately when the conversation turned away from professional matters.
She also claimed that the videos circulating online had been edited and manipulated, and did not accurately reflect what actually happened between them.
