Overview

• Clips from Berlin’s Bricks and accounts from host Jonathan Steinig show the pair seated closely with affectionate gestures and a “very flirty” mood throughout the night.
• Kontalis posted that it was “one of the best evenings of my life,” shared photos including a champagne gift from Kaulitz, and dismissed critics with a profane message.
• Reality-TV figures such as Kevin “Flocke” Platzer, Julian Stoeckel and Samira Yavuz accused Kontalis of chasing attention, while Giuliano Hediger urged people to stop overinterpreting the night.
• Ex-partner Yeliz Koc asserted their last breakup happened because she learned he is into men, a claim Kontalis rejected on Instagram as “Rufmord” and “complete untruths.”
• Kaulitz has not issued a new statement beyond earlier podcast praise for Kontalis, and the scrutiny unfolds as Kontalis pursues a mayoral bid in Mönchengladbach.
