Biography
Agibalova Irina Aleksandrovna is one of the oldest participants in the entire history of the show “Dom-2” (Irina’s age is now 52 years).

Nevertheless, Agibalova became a member of Russia’s first reality family, which television viewers could watch for several years in a row.
There are many rumors and uncertainties swirling around Irina. Since she was born in Kazakhstan, many believe that her parents are ethnic Kazakhs. Moreover, on the Internet, enemies often repeat that Agibalova’s mother allegedly abandoned her daughter and her little brother and left the family. On her personal page on the social network, Agibalova denies this information. She claims that, firstly, her mother lived with her father until the end of his days, and only after the death of her husband did she move to the Altai Territory. And secondly, Irina does not have a younger brother, but only an older sister.

The tumor made the grandmother think about Botox
At the age of 47, Irina Agibalova decided to undergo a circular facelift. The result shocked the woman. The surgeon did not tell Irina that there was something wrong with her right eyebrow and forced her to tightly bandage her forehead. This led to severe swelling of the lower part of the face and, as a result, to lymphostasis. To correct her eyebrow, Agibalova went under the knife again ten days after the first operation. But nothing has changed. And after the doctor suggested that Irina inject Botox into her drooping eyebrow, the woman fled from this clinic.
“The best neurologist in Moscow gave me a disappointing diagnosis: postoperative paresis of the ear nerve and contusion of the right frontal nerve, which led to drooping of the right eyebrow and lack of facial expressions in the right upper part of the face,” Agibalova complained on the microblog. “If I allowed Botox to be injected, the nerve would simply die!”

“The consequences of this infection are deplorable for me: I suffer from insomnia, my memory has deteriorated - I began to forget even the simplest words. Doctors say this is true for many who have had Covid. Doctors advise solving more crossword puzzles and learning poetry,” says Irina.
Personal life
In Semipalatinsk in 1985, Irina met her future husband Yuri Agibalov. Their romance was so stormy that within two weeks they submitted an application to the registry office. A year and a half later, the eldest daughter Olga appeared in the family, and at the end of the summer of 1990, the youngest daughter Margarita. Already in Obninsk, Irina and Yuri’s long-awaited son Oleg was born, and immediately after this joyful event the whole family moved to their own country house in Pavlovsky Posad, Moscow region.

But Irina Agibalova’s family life was not smooth. As the ex-participant of the television project herself admits, she is a very powerful woman, she likes to control the behavior of her children, her husband’s decisions, and the family’s finances. On this basis, she had repeated conflicts with her husband, and Yuri even left his wife several times. At the same time, the children usually took the father’s side, as a result of which even the most acute conflicts were eventually resolved amicably, and the family was reunited again.

Siliconized priest's daughter
Rita Kern (aka Margarita Kunaeva ) - from a remote Udmurt village, grew up in a large family of a priest. I went to the surgeon for the first time for new tits at the age of 20 - she says she decided to give her loved one a gift. As a result, the 26-year-old diva appeared at Dom-2 in September 2016 with a size eight bust, pumped buttocks and lips that covered half her face. She failed to find love either on the television set or outside the perimeter. Rita believes that there are very few worthy men, and she doesn’t want to waste anything.
Rita ran away from her big family at age 15
“I look at some of the aunties, and I feel sorry for them.” They go to shitty jobs, plow like horses, at home - the poor husband lies and demands something, the children scream. Where is the world heading? A man should support a girl, and she should not strain at all! - this is the philosophy of the priest’s daughter. — And by the age of 30, I realized that I was against plastic surgery and any changes in my body. Small breasts are cool, a belly is beautiful, a big nose with a hump is sexy. Alas, I forgot that I am divine by nature. And you can't go back to the past.
Court
At the end of 2016, a huge scandal occurred. Agibalova was credited with a criminal past. According to gossip, the woman was sentenced to four years in prison for violating an agreement with a neighbor. Agibalova had to provide lifelong care for the old woman in exchange for living space. But when the elderly woman became ill, she was not given the necessary help. Irina herself has already presented fans with a certificate stating that she has no criminal record, but many continue to believe in her prison past.
Irina Agibalova and Tatyana Afrikantova
As it turned out later, Tatyana Afrikantova, another “mother of the television set,” shares scandalous news about Agibalova’s life and biography.
Irina Agibalova was especially upset that she was being denigrated not by a stranger, but by a woman with whom she often spent time together, went to parties and social events. Irina tried to resolve the matter peacefully and persuaded her to broadcast a refutation broadcast on Periscope or Instagram. Tatyana refused, and Agibalova sued the offender for libel and demanded moral compensation.
In January 2022, both women appeared on the “We Talk and Show” program on NTV. The talk show participants tried to reconcile the warring parties, but the conflict flared up even more.
In February 2022, Alexey Samsonov, who was accused of having an affair with Irina Alexandrovna, came to Agibalova’s aid. Alexey said that his entire relationship with the “TV grandmother” was staged, and Agibalova and Samsonov simply played according to the script written by the scriptwriters of “House-2.” Samsonov said that 90% of what happens on the show is a game according to the script.
On February 6, 2022, a hearing in the libel case took place, but neither Agibalova nor Afrikantova were able to attend the court on that day. Due to nervousness, Irina began to have health problems, and Tatyana followed the advice of lawyers not to appear in court and leave the case to the lawyers.
Appearance correction methods
Several interventions were carried out:
- SMAS face lift . This is an operation to tighten soft tissues located deeper than the subcutaneous fat layer. It gives a very pronounced rejuvenating effect.
- Endoscopic lifting of the forehead and eyebrows. It is done through small incisions using special equipment. Therefore, the result is accompanied by rapid healing without pronounced scars.
- Subperiosteal lift of the middle third of the face. With its help, it is possible to smooth out nasolabial folds, get rid of tear troughs, and improve the contours of the cheeks.
- Platysmoplasty . This is an operation to tighten the muscles and skin of the neck. With its help, excess tissue volume in this area, wrinkles and cords are eliminated.
The transformation of Irina’s face occurred not only due to aesthetic operations. She underwent anti-aging cosmetic procedures:
- injections of hyaluronic acid to give the skin freshness, smoothness, and even color;
- injections of fillers into the lips to increase their volume.
