About Severina Vuckovic

Severina Vučković (born 21 April 1972), better known as Severina, is a Croatian singer-songwriter and actress. In 2006, she was listed among the 100 most influential Croats, calling her "the only bona fide Croatian celebrity".

She represented Croatia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2006, with the song "Moja štikla", finishing 12th. In 2015, she was the most searched person on Google in Croatia and Slovenia.

In 2004, Vučković was involved in an internationally reported sex scandal after a sex tape featuring her and Bosnian Croat businessman Milan Lučić leaked onto the Internet, which was reported by the Croatian online tabloid Index.hr. The graphic nature of the video and the fact that Lučić was married when the tape was filmed shocked the public. Vučković sued the website that released the tape for damages, claiming that the video was stolen from her and that it was her intellectual property. In 2004 part of the lawsuit about intellectual property was dismissed by the court, but was approved violation of privacy with a compensation of around 13,000 euro.
