RTL Confronts Reality-TV Furor as 'Temptation Island VIP' Uproar Escalates and 'Sommerhaus' Finale Lands on Streaming

The broadcaster calls for patience and rejects online harassment while viewers scrutinize conduct and editorial choices across both shows.

Overview

  • Episode 6 of Temptation Island VIP showed Aleksandar Petrovic spitting alcohol at women during a boat party and included off‑camera audio of derogatory remarks that the production chose to air.
  • RTL issued an official statement asking audiences to await further context up to the reunion episodes and cautioning against digital abuse of participants.
  • Host Janin Ullmann publicly denounced the behavior highlighted in the episode, reinforcing consent with the message that no means no.
  • Das Sommerhaus der Stars released its finale early on RTL+, fueling debate over in‑house dynamics and a late offer that tested contestants’ strategic choices without revealing outcomes.
  • Recent Sommerhaus episodes also drew concern over on‑set safety after an alcohol-fueled oil‑and‑grill incident and a contestant’s severe intoxication, following a prior surprise exit that reshaped the field.
