HR Investigation Rejects Antisemitism Claim by Professor Haya Schulmann

An independent review found no evidence of misconduct by the 'Hallo Hessen' host, but Schulmann disputes the findings and maintains her allegations.

Haya Schulmann, a professor at Goethe University, accused a 'Hallo Hessen' moderator of making an antisemitic gesture and remark during a pre-show conversation.
The moderator allegedly responded with 'Bäääh' and a tongue gesture when Schulmann revealed her name's Israeli origin, an action Schulmann interpreted as discriminatory.
The Hessischer Rundfunk (HR) commissioned the Feigen Graf law firm to conduct an independent investigation, which included interviews, video analysis, and a review by a lip reader.
The investigation concluded that the alleged offensive behavior did not occur, attributing the incident to a potential misunderstanding by Schulmann and her husband.
Schulmann has publicly rejected the investigation's findings, reiterating her account and criticizing HR for not providing her access to the full investigation materials.
