HE wishes “Merry Christmas 2022” – and WE can’t believe our eyes.
The controversial Schlager singer Michael Wendler (50) back – on Instagram. There, where he was once banished after his crude conspiracy theories. But the guest performance was short-lived…
Surprise for the feast of love! Wendler carries his Laura (22) in his hands and laughs in everyone’s face in a new photo. Behind him the decorated tree with gifts, in front of him the cell phone camera that captures everything. So he greeted all users from Sunday to Monday.
Although the account does not have a blue tick (i.e. it is not verified), there is actually no doubt about its authenticity. Laura happily linked her “Schatzi’s” profile, writing, among other things, in her story: “Michael Wendler on Instagram.”
And: “Der_Michael_Wendler” also posted a video in the story, which shows Laura in a black dress and matching boots.
While other users cannot comment on his photo because the function has been restricted, Laura and Wendler post public declarations of love under the posts.
The lousy truth about Wendler’s comeback
Practical for the couple: no critical comments can be seen, only red hearts. But there is still a lot of excitement about the account. BILD reveals the lousy trick behind it.
Because: For his return, the musician used a perfidious plan! He stole his dog’s account, “Tiger and Smoke Wendler”, for his Instagram comeback.
More precisely: The account already existed, it was actually a profile of Michael and Laura’s dog. The Wendlers often posted snapshots of the four-legged friend there. But the dog is no longer to be seen.
But: ALL four-legged friend photos were deleted, the dog account was renamed “Der_Michael_Wendler”, the profile picture was exchanged. Where the black dog used to be, Wendler is now looking at you with sunglasses.
That’s why the “new” Wendler account already has so many fans (around 29,000 on Monday afternoon, December 26). Because most users did not follow HIM, but actually the animal.
Why is Wendler stealing a dog’s account? The solution: Instagram blocked him at the time, even with a new account he is not actually allowed to be active on the platform, not to register under his name. The background is, among other things, his conspiracy theories.
So Wendler has now gone to the dogs. But the trick didn’t last long!
Instagram blocks Wendler again
UPDATE: On Monday afternoon everyone looked down the drain instead of looking at Wendler’s account. Because the profile of the musician can no longer be found. Only this message: “Either the link you clicked doesn’t work or the page has been removed”.
After a BILD request, the Instagram team blocked Wendler’s account.
