Overview
- Bill and Tom Kaulitz said they booed Gottschalk at the Bambi ceremony and called his appearance the night’s most shocking moment.
- Gottschalk apologized in Der Spiegel for remarking that Cher was the only woman he had taken seriously, later attributing the misstep to a blackout.
- Bill Kaulitz dismissed the blackout explanation as nonsense, arguing such award-show segments are tightly scripted with rehearsals and timers.
- In a separate Bayern 3 TikTok, Bill ranked Nico Santos with a pointed jab, and Santos replied under the viral clip that the band dislikes him and won’t say why.
- The brothers also recounted an airport screening after the event where a luggage scan triggered an alarm, with Bundespolizei contacted and the issue resolved by phone.
