Jannik Kontalis Identifies Bleeped Name as “Leroy” After TV Reunion; Leroy Leone Denies and Reports Harassment

A censored claim on RTL has escalated into a dispute over privacy and outing that now entangles a third party.

Overview

  • During the Prominent getrennt reunion, RTL muted a name after Yeliz Koc alleged Jannik Kontalis cheated with a comedian, and Kontalis later said the bleeped name was “Leroy,” adding he does not know him.
  • Actor Leroy Leone publicly rejected any involvement, said he does not know Koc, described receiving abusive messages, and insisted he would not fuel a “dirty show.”
  • Kontalis criticized Koc for outing him and said the reunion fixated on his sexuality, recounting that he felt mocked on set and that the discussion strayed beyond the show’s scope.
  • Koc’s narrative shifted as she told the reunion a Paris dispute ended the relationship, diverging from her earlier claim that his interest in men was the cause.
  • Viewer reactions faulted Kontalis for avoiding questions, while reality peer Stephanie Schmitz accused him of stoking speculation for PR on social media.
