A public outcry has been raised after Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova’s autistic younger sister was kicked out of a cafe in Nizhny Novgorod. The manager, who ordered her out to avoid “scaring off customers,” now faces criminal charges.
According to a Facebook post by Natalia Vodianova on Wednesday, her 27-year-old sister, Oksana Vodianova, who suffers from Kanner’s syndrome and cerebral palsy, entered the cafe in her hometown of Nizhny Novgorod with her nurse.
Instead of a hot chocolate, ordered by the nurse for Oksana, the cafe’s manager came out and demanded that Oksana leave immediately. “Get out, will you,” Natalia Vodianova reported the manager as saying. “You’re scaring off all our customers. Go and get some treatment, cure your child. And then come to a public place.”
The nurse tried to explain that Oksana is a person with special needs, that she just needed to sit awhile and would quietly leave, but the manager called security to force the two women to leave. A security guard threatened to “call the Nuthouse, call an ambulance” and even lock them in the cellar.
According to Natalia Vodianova’s Facebook account, there was only one other customer in the cafe at the time, and he asked that the two women be left in peace.
