Overview
- Buschmann said in a farewell video to his roughly 226,000 followers that he will no longer personally operate his Instagram account, a decision confirmed after about six weeks of deliberation with his management.
- The channel will not be deleted; Sportsfreude, his long‑time agency, will manage posts as an informational and PR platform for showings, collaborations, and professional news.
- He gave the main reason for stepping back as the tone and 'the whole madness' of social media harming his wellbeing and said he has no desire to continue private social feeding.
- Despite withdrawing from personal posting, Buschmann will remain publicly active in his broadcast roles, including Bundesliga commentary for Sky, NBA work since 2025, and projects for RTL.
- The move follows his earlier exits from Facebook and X and fits a wider pattern of public figures prioritizing mental health while preserving official channels for updates and partnerships.
