Controversies

In 2009, after being asked in an interview with Czech magazine Reflex why she refers to Romani people as "gypsies", which is considered to be a racial slur, Studenková opined that "90 percent of gypsies are social trash" and explained that she doesn't see a reason to be considerate of people that "basically refuse to be educated and to work, and ignore basic hygiene habits". She added that her views on the Roma community are rooted in her childhood, detailing an experience from elementary school when she had to sit next to a Roma girl with lice. Her comments were met with a wave of criticism in both Czechia and Slovakia for being racist and anti-roma, and were publicly condemned by personalities like Ernest Sarközi, artistic director of the Gypsy Devils orchestra, or Roman Kaiser, president of the European Roma Employment Agency, who called her statements "highly inappropriate".[26][27][28]

Studenková doubled down on her negative comments regarding the Roma in 2012, after the Krásna Hôrka Castle was destroyed in a fire caused by two young Roma boys who attempted to lit a cigarette and accidentally set dry grass around the castle on fire. In an interview with Život magazine, Studenková asserted that "the Roma question" would be solved if the same laws applied to both white and Romani people, before continuing: "How come they burned down Krásna Hôrka and you see none of them there ? Why didn't march there the whole village of those who have nothing to do and don't work eight hours a day, and then: You want social benefits ? Did you work for it ? Here you go ! They burned down a historic landmark of incalculable value, brats ! Fuckers are destroying our property, how come they're invincible ?" She also criticized the Christian Democratic Movement (KDH) party's pro-life politics in the same interview, saying "why don't each of them have ten gypsy children adopted ?".[26][29]

In 2011, Studenková criticized the success of Turkish soap opera Binbir Gece in Slovakia, stating "I don't know if anybody realizes this, but this is another way we let the muslim world into our homes. In Arab states, they would never broadcast our soap operas". Her comments were branded islamophobic and racist by media.[30][31][32]
