The director had the following relations, which the public knows about, with a girl very young for Dmitry - Kristina Kuzmina was sixteen years younger than him. Their acquaintance took place on the samples of the same film "Princess and the Pauper". Kuzmina did not pass them, however, after a whole year and a half, Meskhiev called the girl and offered to meet.
The couple worked a lot together, but, despite this, the marriage also broke up, and Christina and Dmitry broke up by no means friends. After another quarrel, Dmitry Meskhiev decided not to give their ex-wife their daughter, who before that lived with her mother and father. This caused another scandal, which ended in almost a fight. As a result, Kristina Kuzmina decided to file a complaint with the police.
