I consider the appointment of Taťána Kuchařová to the Government Council for Human Rights unacceptable. The advisory body of the cabinet should protect vulnerable groups and systemic standards, not serve as a political traffic jam for celebrities without legal expertise. A fundamental obstacle is her behavior during the divorce from Ondřej Brzobohatý. The purposeful misuse of sensitive queer topics and the privacy of her partner in the ecclesiastical court demonstrated complete disrespect for human dignity and minority rights. A person with such practices cannot credibly defend equality. After the civil divorce, Kuchařová initiated proceedings at the Metropolitan Church Court for the purpose of ecclesiastical annulment of marriage. In ecclesiastical law, marriage can only be annulled for specific reasons, which include, for example, the inability to fulfill marital duties, serious personality disorder, or the concealment of key facts before the wedding. To achieve annulment, Kuchařová based her arguments on her husband's intimate life: 🧊 In the lawsuit, she claimed that Brzobohatý is not sexually oriented and suffers from sexual orientation deviations. 🧊 From his private interest in dressing as a woman as part of artistic stylization (drag queen under the alias Tiffany Richbitch), she created evidence of his alleged inability to live in a heterosexual union. 🧊 She was represented by lawyer Jakub Kříž, known from ultraconservative organizations rejecting the rights of LGBTQ+ people. The contents of the ecclesiastical lawsuit, which was supposed to remain strictly confidential behind the closed doors of the ecclesiastical tribunal, leaked in May 2023 to the tabloid Blesk. Civil Court Ruling In January 2026, the District Court for Prague 2 ruled in a personality protection dispute that Brzobohatý brought against Kuchařová: ⚖️ The court concluded that Kuchařová presented false claims in the ecclesiastical lawsuit and consciously harmed the rights and dignity of her former partner. ⚖️ The model was ordered to pay Brzobohatý compensation for non-pecuniary harm amounting to 250,000 CZK. ⚖️ The court also ordered her to publish a public apology in the Blesk newspaper and prohibited her from continuing to spread these false statements. For all this, she should absolutely not be a member of the Government Council for Human Rights. 1️⃣ According to information from Blesk, she presented drag culture and non-traditional gender expressions in court as mental defects, immaturity, or inability to live a normal life. This is a textbook example of homophobia and transphobia that reinforces prejudices in society. 2️⃣ According to information from Blesk, she used sexuality and private preferences as leverage in property or divorce disputes. This is in direct contradiction to fundamental human rights standards. ⚠️🚧‼️ A person who has resorted to the denigration of minority identity for personal gain and faces legal repercussions for undermining human dignity cannot, by principle, guarantee the protection of equality and human rights at the national level.
