In media

Background

Tukiainen first became famous in 2008 when Finland's foreign minister Ilkka Kanerva sent her 200 sexually suggestive text messages which Tukiainen sold to the gossip magazine Hymy.[6] Kanerva insisted he would stay in his job but had to resign due to pressure from his own party Kokoomus.[7][8][9][10]

In 2012, Tukiainen caused quite a stir when she urinated publicly on a platform of Tampere main railway station, even though her long distance train was waiting quite 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 is currently a celebrity blogger for the Finnish tabloid magazine 7 päivää.[15]

Johanna's sister, Julia Tukiainen (born 1983), was found deceased in their apartment on December 17, 2013. Julia suffered from diabetes type 1 in her recent years.

Her parents and other family live in Sweden.
