Overview
- The row began Thursday evening when René “Redo” Dost told housemate Nadja Benaissa “Das macht mich bisschen horny” while she did stretching exercises, causing her to stop and call the comment boundary‑crossing.
- Benaissa said the remark made her feel sexualized and uncomfortable, and she raised the issue again in the show's interview room.
- The conversation shifted to gender roles after Redo insisted he would never carry a woman's handbag and justified the stance with the phrase “Du schneidest mir meinen Schwanz ab,” which drew sharp criticism from fellow residents.
- Presenter Marlene Lufen entered the house live, asked Redo to hold her handbag as a test of his claim, and he ultimately accepted the bag to applause from other contestants.
- Coverage in German entertainment outlets and a late‑night panel discussion have focused on the on‑air confrontation and broader questions of accountability and norms inside the Promi Big Brother format, while no formal apology or sanction has been reported so far.
