Overview
- The Landgericht Hamburg barred Shelby Lynn from repeating three formulations that said she was spiked by Rammstein or by its crew, including “I was spiked by Rammstein at pre party.”
- The court said Lynn may continue to state she was spiked at the concert and recount that Till Lindemann gave everyone a tequila shot, assessing these as protected opinion based on undisputed facts.
- Judges deemed the banned assertions untrue factual allegations and found Lynn failed to prove that band members drugged her, with references to the crew still attributed to Lindemann as the band’s frontman.
- The judgment, issued on October 24, 2025, is not final, and costs were split with Lindemann paying two fifths and Lynn three fifths.
- Both legal teams cast the outcome as a win, and the decision is expected to narrow prior media narratives that relied on the now‑forbidden attributions.
