Social media personality VeryDarkMan expresses frustration over Bobrisky’s absence in court amid their ongoing legal battle. Read more about the heated exchange and what led to the dramatic outburst.
Verydarkman, now before the House of Representatives, has declined to testify about his allegations. He has asserted that all communications will be managed by his lawyer on his behalf.
His decision not to engage with the Committee is due to Bobrisky’s absence, who is a key figure in his allegations.
In response, the Committee Members have instructed Verydarkman to return and answer their questions. They warned him that failure to comply may lead to his detention by parliament.
The Chairman of the Committee clarified that Verydarkman does not have the authority to set the terms for the proceedings, including deciding whether Bobrisky must be present; such decisions are solely within the purview of the Committee.

The Chairman of the Committee stated, “It is not your place to dictate whether Bobrisky comes here or not; that decision rests with us. We also have the authority to compel his appearance and can invoke our powers to arrest him if necessary.”
“We have the authority to summon Bobrisky and, if needed, detain him,” remarked the Chairman. “Your accusations have prompted us to call upon senior government officials; hence it is crucial for you to address these claims.”
“You are already here to testify, so I encourage you to proceed. Don’t let anyone deceive you. As for the lawyer, please counsel your client.”
Verydarkman’s refusal to speak has raised concerns, prompting the Committee to threaten the use of its authority if he does not comply.
