Overview
- The former Tagesschau presenter publicly responded on Instagram after anonymous users mocked his age, quoting specific comments that called his selfies "peinlich" and suggested physical decline.
- In the video he said he is 47, that he has never felt better, and that he will not apologise for getting older, framing aging as a privilege rather than a flaw.
- As a defiant reply he announced a concrete workout — 50 burpees, 40 minutes of spinning and strength training — and said he would head to exercise instead of engaging with critics.
- German outlets reported the posts on Wednesday and Thursday and noted that many followers supported Schreiber in the comments, praising his attitude and appearance.
- The episode is being treated as a contained social‑media pushback against online ageism and shows how public figures can use visibility and direct replies to counter anonymous harassment.
