Overview

• Clips from Berlin’s Bricks club show Bill Kaulitz and Jannik Kontalis sitting closely, whispering and touching, with the party organizer describing their interactions as very flirty and saying they spent the evening together.
• Kontalis later celebrated the night on Instagram as one of the nicest of his life, shared photos with Kaulitz and said the singer gifted him a large bottle of champagne for his birthday.
• On August 19, ex-partner Yeliz Koc wrote that she learned Kontalis is attracted to men and framed that as the reason for their latest breakup.
• Kontalis publicly denied Koc’s account as “Rufmord,” disputed her version of the split, and hinted at a no-details-spared response, including a potential new tell-all podcast.
• Reaction across the reality-TV scene is split, with some accusing Kontalis of chasing attention, others defending him or criticizing the outing as overreach, and Kaulitz maintaining public silence.
