Regina Lund, 53, is criticized for a trip to the Maldives, at the same time that she is going through an economic crisis.
But fans are lining up and now helping the artist pay off all of his rental debt.
“I am shocked with happiness for everyone’s kindness,” Regina Lund writes in a text message.

“Thank you Swedish people. I really love you, ”Regina Lund writes after receiving debt help.
Reactions on social media are mixed after Regina Lund’s interview on Aftonbladet, where she talks about her financial concerns during the pandemic.
Regina Lund has not been able to pay four monthly rents during the fall and Familjebostäder has decided to evict her. The property company’s claim for more than SEK 30,000 has been transferred to the bailiff.
The artist has cited the pandemic as the cause of the difficult economic situation. The works have been suspended and the anticipated income has not been obtained.
Received a lot of criticism
Some feel sorry for Regina Lund, even in the comment field on her Instagram.
Others write that she must blame herself: “Everyone must pay their rent, whether they know it or not.” “Welcome to reality! Take a regular job in health care!”
Among other things, critics think that she should have prioritized renting in the first place and not, as they believe, spending money on travel.
At the end of January this year, Regina Lund posted photos of her location in the Maldives and posted photos of a spa hotel in Piteå.

According to her own statement, Regina Lund recorded parts of her new album in the Maldives.
“As if he were a politician”
She views the comments on social media as malicious outbursts characterized by the Jante Law:
– They rush me as if I were a politician, a criminal. Review your own lives instead of slapping others! I will not allow cruel people to lower me.
In an email, Regina Lund writes that she was in the Maldives to record parts of her latest album:
– I had the opportunity to do it and have friends there. It was work, but you make it look like it’s a holiday because that’s how it works with Insta. It costs less than if I stayed home. I had the opportunity to work two weeks at sea, I can say that I would do it again without blinking. What’s wrong with working in a beautiful place?
The visit to Piteå, he also writes, was for a working concert.
“Stinging in the eyes”
Those who are critical believe that you would have worked harder to get money and accepted a job anyway.
– Of course there is a lot of anger now in crown times because everyone is fighting. It stands out if someone is free and works freely to the heart in a slightly less conventional way. Telling an actress that she can take a job in the healthcare sector is offensive not only to healthcare professionals, but also to us artists. We don’t have time now to talk to each other.
Over the past 24 hours, the artist’s appeal on Instagram for financial contributions has paid off. According to Regina Lund, fans have spent money to cover rental debt.
She says she is touched by all the love the Swedes have shown her:
“I am shocked with happiness for everyone’s kindness… I am rich with loyal fans and it is beautiful. Thank you very much to all the nice fans, what kindness you have shown. Thank you Swedish people. I really love you. “
Aftonbladet has asked Regina Lund for a real interview about the criticisms made of her on social media, but has chosen to answer questions via email and text message.
