Most things in show business are not completely transparent. Such is the case with celebrity surnames, which are not always the same as their birth names, which appear in documents. Many famous people have decided to change their names, for various reasons. From shortening them to make them more memorable and distinctive, to avoiding a mistake, so as not to be confused with someone else.
Real names of stars. Viola Kołakowska has a completely different name in real life
Viola Kołakowska was in a relationship with Tomasz Karolak for over a decade. The actress, model and stylist does not use her real name or surname in the world of show business. She was born Wioletta Kołek. In 2016, her lawyer contacted the Pudelek portal with a request that the editorial staff stop reminding us of the actress’s real name.
She argued that it put Karolak’s long-time partner in a ridiculous light, which “affects her dignity and inner honor”, but also “does not fit with human dignity”. It was also said that Kołakowska changed her surname to a “more noble one”.
