Overview

  • A boisterous group of self-described partygoers disrupted Kiewel’s live interview by splattering her with beer and drowning out a guest speaker.
  • Kiewel firmly admonished the rowdy visitors to restore order and ensured her conversation with the flag football coach could continue.
  • Earlier in the same broadcast a spectator stormed the song-quiz segment, prompting bodyguard intervention before Kiewel defused the situation and posed for a selfie.
  • The incidents underscore the persistent challenge of managing spontaneous audience interaction on the open-air ZDF-Fernsehgarten.
  • ZDF has not announced any changes to on-set security or pursued legal action following these episodes.
