Overview

• Marc Terenzi alleged on the live show that ex-partner Verena Kerth physically and psychologically abused him, including claims of being beaten and locked in without food.
• Kerth rejected the allegations in an Instagram statement, said Sat.1 broadcast the claims without seeking her comment, and called the decision irresponsible and legally questionable.
• Kerth reported a surge of hate messages after the episode and countered that Terenzi lied for attention, describing her experience as living with an unpredictable alcoholic.
• A related court case from May 2025 ended with Terenzi’s acquittal by the Hamburg Amtsgericht St. Georg due to insufficient certainty about the alleged incident.
• The season launched with a split-house format and a 24/7 Joyn livestream, and Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht joined as a late entrant while daily broadcasts continue.
