Overview

• Sat.1 confirmed the 33-year-old will enter the new Promi Big Brother season, with his on-air arrival slated for Monday night's live show.
• Ochsenknecht said he can handle the confinement, noting he has experienced being locked up during his recent custody transfers.
• He was arrested in June over an unpaid €14,000 hotel bill and the proceedings were later dropped in Austria in exchange for a €18,000 payment.
• He has been leaning into reality TV as income, saying these shows offer the fastest-paying work and that he already has new contracts on the table.
• During the case he stayed at his sister Cheyenne’s farm after she posted bail, as producers now place him in a set divided between a rough construction zone and a secret, more luxurious “Musterwohnung.”
