Johanna Tukiainen (born July 29, 1978) is a Finnish former television personality and singer.[1][2]

Background

Tukiainen first became known in March 2008 with a news report that Finland's foreign minister, Ilkka Kanerva, had been sending her sexually suggestive text messages. Tukiainen then sold the messages to the tabloid magazine Hymy.[3] Kanerva insisted he would stay in his job but had to resign due to pressure from his own party, the National Coalition Party.[4][5][6][7]

Early life

Tukiainen grew up in Laajasalo, Helsinki. She has a matriculation degree from Laajasalon Upper Comprehensive School, where she graduated in 1997. She has also studied at other schools but never graduated.

Career

Tukiainen founded an all-female dance group in the early 2000s that is now defunct. She has also performed her own music and entertained at bars and clubs under her own name.[8][9]

In 2012, Tukiainen was mentioned in news reports when she reportedly urinated publicly on the platform of the Tampere main railway station.[10] Ever since these incidents, Tukiainen has been featured heavily in the headlines of the Finnish tabloid press.

Tukiainen was convicted of several criminal offenses, including multiple assaults and drunk driving, in 2011.[11] In May 2013, she was sentenced to two months in prison for assault.[12][13]

Tukiainen has also accumulated debt. According to official records, she owes various creditors an amount close to 60,000 euros.[14]

Personal life

in 2018, Tukiainen lived in Loviisa, Finland, but moved back to Helsinki later in the year.[15] Although she is known did entertainment focused shows at bars and other such establishments across Finland. She has since reclaimed her status as a Christian and has spoken of her faith at Christian meetings.[16]

In 2020, Tukiainen moved to Sweden to be with her family during the COVID-19 pandemic. Later that year, Tukiainen gave birth to a daughter with her partner at the time.[17]

In August 2022, Tukiainen lost custody of her daughter due to Swedish social services having worried about her ability to care for her daughter.[18] Upon the loss of custody, Tukiainen fled abroad with the child, thus violating the already set court ruling. She was later found by the local authorities in Bordeaux, France where she was apprehended, and the child was taken into custody. Tukiainen was charged with child abduction and other charges.[19]

Family

Johanna's sister, Julia Tukiainen (born 1983), was found deceased in their apartment on 17 December 2013. Julia had been diagnosed with diabetes type 1 in her recent years.[20] Her sister Jasmine Tukiainen died in 2021.[21]
