In media

Background

Tukiainen first became known in march 2008 when news broke that Finland's foreign minister Ilkka Kanerva had been sending her sexually suggestive text messages. Tukiainen then sold the messages to a Tabloid Magazine Hymy.[6] Kanerva insisted he would stay in his job but had to resign due to pressure from his own party Kokoomus (National Coalition Party).[7][8][9][10]

In 2012, Tukiainen caused a stir when she urinated publicly on a platform of Tampere main railway station, even though her long distance train was waiting next to her.[11] Ever since these incidents, Tukiainen has stayed in the headlines of the Finnish tabloid press.

Tukiainen has been convicted of several criminal offenses including multiple assaults and drunk driving in 2011.[12] In May 2013 she was sentenced to two months in prison for assault and in September to 45 days more also for assault.[13][14]

Tukiainen lives in Helsinki, Finland. She has been doing singing and dancing focused shows at bars and other such establishments across Finland. But has lately reclaimed her status as a christian and has talked at christian meetings.

Johanna's sister, Julia Tukiainen (born 1983), was found deceased in their apartment on 17 December 2013. Julia had been diagnoced with diabetes type 1 in her recent years.[15]

Her sister Jasmine Tukiainen is an entrepreneur.
