Does RTL buckle after Dieter Bohlen’s behavior? After the broadcaster initially protected the DSDS chief juror, the tide seems to be turning.
“Have you done anything normal? Or did you just graduate and let yourself be noodled through?” This Bohlen saying has been causing heated debates for days.

After DSDS candidate Jill Lange (22) made it public and the scene could still be seen in the 4th episode of the anniversary season of the casting show on the streaming service RTL+, the broadcaster actually cut it out before it was broadcast on TV. As if the sexist saying had never been said!

After the recording on her Instagram page, the young woman spoke about her experience at the casting and burst into tears.
Dieter Bohlen has been unreasonable so far, and RTL initially did not feel obliged to subsequently cut the scene from the episode.

“The comment would certainly not have been our choice of words, but in the context of the previous discussion about Jill’s dating show experiences, on which Jill and her partner Lars also spoke to the jury, we saw no reason to watch the dialogue from the show cut,” RTL announced on Monday.
In order not to show Bohlen’s saying, which backfired, on Wednesday.
Crisis meeting because of planks
Dieter Bohlen and his sayings – long the trademark of DSDS. After the 68-year-old sat out a season, he is back on the jury panel in the last season. The show wanted to be more family-friendly, according to Dieter Bohlen, not so common anymore.
Dieter Bohlen has been working with RTL for two decades
“I don’t want to offend anyone, but there are candidates who don’t understand any other language,” said the former modern-talking star recently in the “Stern” interview. And: “I would never have come back if someone had told me what I can and can’t say.”
According to BILD information, RTL will now discuss exactly this – in a crisis meeting.
Several conferences are running at the station. The main topic: How should the misogynist sentences by Bohlen be dealt with? Dieter himself doesn’t seem to want to rehabilitate himself. A muzzle? Previously unthinkable!

measures required
According to BILD information, RTL is considering further measures after the public faux pas. There are statements in the room with a clear distinction from Bohlen’s statements and even an apology from Bohlen!
Own plank show wobbles
BILD learned from broadcaster circles that RTL had even thought about its own program for Bohlen after the last DSDS season. Prerequisite: That the ratings continue to develop as well as in episode 1 of the current season.
But: On Wednesday, the program had 2.1 million viewers, almost a million viewers less than the opening show in mid-January.
And: The possible new show for Bohlen is probably already obsolete after his bullying disaster.
Will Bohlen give in and apologize? And what consequences does RTL draw so that something like this doesn’t happen again? These questions will certainly keep the broadcaster busy for a while.
