Yesterday word emerged that Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst had been banned from the Ukraine for five years. TMZ have attempted to get to the bottom of it and are claiming that the ban is a result of Durst‘s plans to move to Crimea and film a reality series with his wife, Kseniya Beryazin, who is a native of the region. Given that Durst is said to have partnered with the Crimea government to produce Crimea and Russian friendly film and TV projects as part of a cultural initiative, the Ukraine government are likely suspicious of his motives.
It could all be a plot to block Durst from potentially portraying the Ukraine in a negative light on the series, or it could just be a giant overreaction. However, given that Crimea was annexed from the Ukraine by Russia in 2014 under controversial circumstances, most interactions between the two parties remain a perpetual source of tension.
