The Ex-Russian Spy Turned Millionaire Influencer | CREAM

At first glance, Aliia Roza is a millionaire L.A. fashion PR mogul and actress. But before this, she says she was a Russian spy handpicked for an elite espionage academy in Moscow where she was trained to seduce enemies of the state for secrets. After falling in love with one of her targets, she was forced to flee the country. But when VICE’s Sydney Lima visits her in L.A. she discovers that things might not be all that they seem.
Some say to get rich you’ve got to look rich, act rich and think rich. CREAM takes us into the world of those who really do live by the mantra Cash Rules EVERYTHING around me.

In France there was a russian immigrant who did same as her. He lied he was big super secret agent of kgb. Did riskey foreign missions etc He did big tv documentaries. Sold books. Became a consultant for european movies & video games about spy related stuff Then when he got really popular, russia said this guy never was a kgb agent or secret agent. He simply worked as a secretary tacking basic public phone calls to a kgb training center for 2 years. And used that to lie he was some sort of super spy 😂 Its like if someone worked 2 years as janitor in a usa military base.

She claim she was in KGB. She was born in 1987. KGB disbanded in 1991. She was probably youngest KGB agent in history. Only 4 years old, when she underwent their secret program... rofl.

[@juumoi2273]

TL;DW She is lying and she lifted her story from the Red Sparrow movie. She is not a PR mogul and just trying to make it in LA. People in LA believe her because they can profit from her made up story. An example of the crazy lengths people will go to for fame.

[@slystone4892]

It’s a win win situation.

[@VantaBlackin]

Reminds me of the woman who pretended she escaped Nazis as a child and was protected by wolves in the wild. 😭 They went along with her story until it didn’t work for them then they exposed her. 🥴

[@shukshinite]

So if I tell the people in BH I'm a former KGB agent that worked in east Germany, they would believe me

[@shukshinite]

@Read this comment👇🏻 Tru dat

[@4restknight404]

Cannot believe ppl so dumb would believe she is a SPY 😢 It's total Marketing issues.

[@devilhunterred]

She might had been a spy for the Kremlin, but definitely just as a honeytrap and not the action packed, elite trained agent she claims to be.

[@joemeltingbutter6668]

@Read this comment👇🏻 Shes probably a sugarbaby.

[@atl3652002]

One day we’ll look back at this influencer craze as it being a complete waste of time time like fitness stars of the 80s

[@JohnnySilverhand21]

@Read this comment👇🏻 just laugh and have some fun, it's just a funny story, if then people are so dumb to believe that is make all just more fun.

[@Oldmoviesincolour]

11:27 and then the faint had me dead from laughing!

[@Tfam305]

Just read her entire body language from 24 minutes and on, she is lying completely.

[@davidhidalgo6278]

Easy and shes a bad actress too!!!

[@jamiecurran3544]

Yes , the wooden spy!😁🤣🤣✌

[@heyitssamantha]

No question.

[@johntheaccountant5594]

Where did she get the initial money to buy properties in Europe? How did she get a visa to leave Russia when she was in hiding? For me the story doesn't stack up. The whole thing is so artificial.

[@loisen]

She looks like an escort to me

[@jamiejamking]

probably started off as a run of mill Dubai escort

[@davidmike3560]

I don’t know man it seems so true to me...

[@ayyo6997]

She seems like an escort

[@Jahmal4]

She was probably an escort. Doubt she has any money.

[@yashnigam2704]

Vice this was your one one the smartest reporters of all time. I was wish she was the one who interviewed Martin Shkreli too.

[@jabumngadi9956]

This is how reporting should be, this reporter is one of the best if not the best I have seen. Well done.

Russian spy turned to a influencer... seems sus lol

The scorpio tattoo on the reporter's thumb explains her naturally amazing investigation skills !! 😂😭😭like FR💗

You know how you can tell she's lying because she is still alive and talking way to publicly about her past.

Plot twist: she's still a Russian spy using reverse psychology

[@mxmajewski]

Well, that would be an awesome way to hide assets by oligarchs or launder money

[@Unknown_Ooh]

@@mxmajewski Where else is she getting all of this money to fund her adventures?

[@anonangel1938]

Look, anything is possible. But as someone who reads TONS of WATTPAD books, the entire plot of her story (undercover-seduce-fall in love-kidnapped-man orders for her to him-he sacrifices himself yadayadaya) is the same as most of those books 😂😭 shawty’s living in a fantasy. Like go ahead sis but don’t make it public and shouldn’t you be crying or sum till this day if your man died for you?

[@rahulxsood]

Great reporting actually. Respectful, empathetic, and honest to the point.

[@marissac713]

When she said that ten men had her alone in a forest at night, much worse things would've happened to her if that were true. She's describing what she thinks she would see in a movie. I clicked out after this part.

[@northhallbabe13]

Lol exactly. She would of been brutally raped and probably tortured/ beaten to death. Also, if she really had the love of her life murdered and had to hide out for an entire year, she wouldn’t just up and go and overcome her trauma by traveling the world and being surrounded by luxurious products. That within itself is such a stupid storyline and transition

[@puritycourtois1724]

😂😂she literally watched a movie and chose a character

[@albertyao98]

The video's purpose isn't to validate her story, but to analyze it. I'm deterred by her story too, but you could just skip to the end of the episode to get the summary lol

[@br0k3nman]

Dude, it smelled like BS from the start since we know of real Russian moles that cozy up to the American far right fascists. They’re regularly caught, they act as activists and lobbyists and go after old male Repub, NRA, etc. The reporter did a great job showing the whole scam without causing drama. Very smart. She’s a Kazakh model that doesn’t want to whore for the mob. More power to her. She’s smart and know it’s all bullshit.

[@droman752]

Very entertaining interview! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@imonthevergeoftears1543]

6:43 thanks we really needed that lol. It’s funny because Aliia immediately seeing all these designer stores was enamored with all the materialism she could indulge in by calling it “beautiful.” Very grotesque and sad if you ask me. I would expect that reaction when experiencing nature not high end stores.

[@djchedda775]

I got a huge crush on the host. This chick is adorable

She went from a undercover agent on the run to being in the spotlight the same same day lol

Whether or not the actual spy element of her story was fabricated, it's undeniable this woman is the queen of finesse.
