Overview
- Jérôme Boateng says he lost someone he loved, describes speaking about the case as very difficult, and notes he sought therapy and leans on his family for support.
- In the three‑part ARD series Being Jérôme Boateng, he reflects on career highs and private controversies, with the first episode available Nov. 21 on ARD’s linear channel and Mediathek.
- Boateng’s 2021 Bild interview made accusations about his ex‑partner and preceded a wave of online abuse targeting Kasia Lenhardt, who died by suicide days later at age 25.
- The documentary references a 2019 probe by Munich prosecutors into alleged intentional bodily harm, with no conclusive public resolution presented.
- Boateng asserts Lenhardt signed a non‑disclosure agreement under pressure and says he never held a copy, while questions over his reputation and a failed Bayern internship remain in focus.
