Actually, the shooting of the new Documentary soap by Michael Wendler and Laura Müller to start next week. The TV cameras the couple had during the pregnancy of the 22-year-old should accompany. After protests and the distancing from broadcaster shareholder RTL RTL2 stamped the project however immediately on again.
As the end of the planned broadcast announced in a statement it was night in Florida, where the crooner and his wife live. According to “Bild”, they received the information by e-mail early the next morning. Now the 50-year-old commented on the canceled documentary for the first time. Although he does not want to comment on the contractual agreements with RTL2, he regrets that he does not get the opportunity to apologize for his past behavior to be allowed.
The Wendler explains his controversial statements
“What have I done that is so bad?” said Wendler. And further: “I cannot believe that there should be so many hateful informers in Germany. People who only wish the very worst for me and my dear pregnant wife Laura.” The musician then tries to explain – and put into perspective – his controversial statements of the last few years.
“I stood up for the freedom of expression and fundamental rights of all people and warned against the corona injections that were not free of side effects. I had to educate about Telegram because the other social media were heavily censored.” In the course of the Corona measures, Michael Wendler had described Germany as a concentration camp. He later claimed that he did not mean “concentration camp” but “crisis center”.
The ex-pop star wants to reconcile
He is also not a racist or anti-Semite and strongly condemns racism and anti-Semitism. It is now time for him to reconcile – and in the course of this he again criticizes the corona measures of the German federal government. “Mistakes were made on both sides of the divided society,” he says.
However, his followers cannot gain anything from his words. “You think that few lines say everything? You lied, were racist and anti-Semitic. There has to be more than a text like that,” writes one user. Another commented: “Nobody, absolutely nobody, wants to make up with you.”
Michael Wendler and the scandals
In 2020, Michael Wendler caused a scandal when he accused the German federal government of “gross and serious violations of the constitution” in a video on Corona policy. At that time, the musician was on the jury for “Deutschland sucht den Superstar”. RTL immediately distanced itself from the ex-pop star’s statements. When he then followed up with the statement about Germany as a “concentration camp”, the broadcaster threw him out of the casting show and cut him out of the scenes that had already been recorded.
What then quickly went into the spread of conspiracy theories finally battered the public image of the pop singer: his last TV appearance was a long time ago, Wendler’s social media accounts were blocked. Only on Telegram was the Germanwho lives with his wife in the US state of Florida, was regularly active until recently.
