RTL Confirms 'Sommerhaus' Winners Split Months Ago as Social-Media Feud Escalates

RTL says the breakup was kept quiet for spoiler reasons under contractual duties.

Overview

  • RTL confirms Edda Pilz and Michael Klotz ended their relationship about five months ago despite winning the latest season of Sommerhaus der Stars.
  • The network says the split was not disclosed to avoid spoiling the show under contractual obligations, with the reunion staged via screen at Pilz’s request.
  • A TikTok by Pilz and ensuing comments led followers to infer she was hinting Klotz is gay, though she did not explicitly name him.
  • Klotz rejected the insinuations on Instagram, called her claims obsessive, accused her of homophobia, and denied involvement in a purportedly secret video posted from a fake account.
  • Both say the prize money was divided between them, and Pilz now describes the relationship as toxic as she focuses on recovery and steps back from further reality TV.
