There are serious allegations against Til Schweiger
Tschirner: “I think that a lot is true in this article”
Tschirner played the leading role in Til Schweiger’s hit films “Keinohrhasen” (2007) and “Zweiohrkücken” (2009).
In an Instagram video she says on Friday about the “Spiegel” article, which is not just about silence, but also about abuses on other film sets: “A great many people have confided in ‘Spiegel’ and about the state of the film industry spoken, which are declared null and void by those responsible. I have to say: I’m not in the mood for it anymore.”

With a few exceptions, it has been “an absolutely open secret for everyone in the industry for decades that these conditions prevail,” says the “Tatort” star.
Tschirner criticizes the German film industry in particular: “This also ignores the courage of the people who are afraid to give their names, who cannot afford to open a barrel. I’m not going to do that anymore.”
The actress clearly: “I think a lot is true in this article.”
In the “Spiegel” article, anonymous employees of “Manta Manta – Zwoter Teil” are quoted who report on the shooting in the summer of 2022.
Even when the movie star was on his way to the set, the crew is said to have been warned over the radio: Schweiger is so drunk that you should avoid him and not even look him in the eye.
On site, Schweiger is said to have punched an employee of the production company Constantin Film in the face when he was confronted. According to “Spiegel”, Schweiger is said to have insulted and bullied other film set employees.
The actor’s lawyer told the “Spiegel” that some of the “facts” were “not known” to her client. Another part assumes “alleged facts that did not exist”.
Til Schweiger could not be reached for a BILD request.
