Plzeň troublemaker Maxa challenges judge to a cage fight

Maxa, a provocative blogger from Plzeň known for scandalous behavior on social media, has posted a profane TikTok video challenging Judge Vladimír Žák to a cage fight. Maxa is due to serve 14 months in a high-security prison, but the verdict is not yet final. Police are not currently looking into the video or its content.

What was in the video

The clip is full of obscenities: the author asks whether the judge accepts a challenge to a fight in the “Clash” format, accompanying the words with a symbolic punch. Maxa spoke in a similar tone about the prosecutor and the police officer who was the victim, claiming he was under the influence of cocaine. Nothing of the kind has been proven. Judge Žák responded briefly: he will not let himself be dragged into such a tabloid affair, and what matters above all is the verdict.

What the conviction was for

Maxa, born Lukáš Adamec, describes themself as a non-binary person and sometimes refers to herself in the feminine; she has been in prison several times before. According to the case file, a patrol tested her for drugs, which angered Maxa, who then went to a police station and claimed that one of the officers was on drugs. She then spread that claim on social media. Tests confirmed nothing, and in the judge’s finding it was unambiguously a case of defamation.

Žák also found Maxa guilty of hooliganism: according to the case file, she quarreled with a neighbor and sprayed pepper spray in his face. Maxa admitted to the act but argued that she had acted in necessary self-defense. The judge concluded that no one was directly threatening her at that moment.

A suspended or alternative sentence, the judge said, would not have helped her rehabilitation in this case: “She follows her own line and has no intention of changing anything.” Žák added that the convicted woman seems to have gained a sense of her own importance through social media and cage fights: she does not realize that she steps into the cage not as an athlete but to make money for others.
