I know a thread was posted on here the other day, since it was posted on her FB/Twitter that she had been involved in a serious car accident but it's since been revealed that her manager-boyfriend beat her up!

Romanian singer Alexandra Stan is speaking out against her manager, who is also her boyfriend, saying Marcel Prodan beat her up afer a money dispute.
Romanian prosecutors said Tuesday they are investigating a popular singer's claim that she was beaten up by her manager-boyfriend after a dispute over money, prompting a rare debate about domestic violence in this conservative East European nation.
Alexandra Stan, whose 2010 hit "Mr. Saxobeat" sold almost 1 million copies in less than a year and reached the Top 5 in more than 20 countries, filed a complaint with prosecutors Tuesday alleging she was beaten by Marcel Prodan after she asked for her earnings.
Police spokesman Gelu Manolescu told The Associated Press that police picked up Stan from a roadside where she was arguing with Prodan and took the bruised 24-year-old singer to a hospital Saturday where she was treated and released.
Television interviews with the diminutive singer – who had black eyes and bruises on her body – were broadcast on national channels, shocking many Romanians and sparking discussions on radio and television about domestic violence. Attempts to reach Prodan by email and telephone were not immediately successful.
Stan went public with her claims this week after a message was posted on her Facebook account saying she would cancel concerts because she had had a traffic accident. The Romanian singer said her managers had posted the message, which she insisted wasn't true, and alleged that Prodan had beaten her.
Some Romanians expressed pity for the singer, though some wondered whether it all could be a publicity stunt. Vali Bejinaru, a 28-year-old fan, expressed the fatalism of many on the subject when he said: "I am sorry for her. I think she's a treasure and pretty. But what can she do if that is her fate?"
