Irina Columbeanu, 18 years old, came to the attention of the public after she was caught wearing luxury bags and clothes, worth thousands of euros. Netizens accused her of not paying enough attention to her father, former millionaire Irinel Columbeanu, who has been in an asylum in Ghermanesti for two years.

The young woman explained that the bags and clothes do not belong to her, but are borrowed from her mother.
“Well, first of all, I try not to answer the haters because I know they have their frustrations and I don’t have anything to talk to them about. It just amuses me… About the bags, they’re my mom’s, I mean she worked on them, Pink worked on them and my dad… it’s just that my mom is very generous and lets me borrow all her clothes, too. The shoes unfortunately don’t come, but I would like them come to me”said Irina for “Fresh by Unica”.
She also specified: “I love dressing up in my mom’s clothes. Her style is very classy and I hope I have the same wardrobe as her when I’m her age or maybe even sooner.”
Ion Cassian, the patron of the asylum where Irinel Columbeanu lives, jumped to Irinuca’s defense, explaining that the young woman had already helped financially.
“Irinuca is young, she also does what she can, where will she have money to buy clothes for her father or other things? She focused more on helping Irinel to get rid of the financial debts, which he has accumulated in recent years towards the old people’s home, she paid from them”, declared Ion Cassian for Click.ro.
Cassian pointed out that Irinel lacks nothing and is in a well-maintained environment.
“Stop feeling sorry for Irinel, don’t take care of him, he also has expensive, branded, quality clothes, bought when he had money. He has a personal closet full of very good things, and we make sure that all these clothes are always washed, clean and laid out nicely”he said.
In fact, two years ago, the Romania TV team presented the clothes collection of Irinel Columbeanu, the former millionaire showing that even today he wears branded sneakers and clothes, some purchased since the time when he was financially active.
