Yeliz Koc Says Uwe Ochsenknecht Declined to Meet Family as Reunion With Jimi Goes On‑Air

Overview

• In a Joyn interview tied to Forsthaus Rampensau, Koc said she and daughter Snow have never met Jimi Blue Ochsenknecht’s father Uwe, adding he did not want an introduction, while Jimi avoided the topic.
• Early episodes show Koc explaining through tears that she intended to compete with Jimi, but OK! Magazin reported he was detained over an unpaid 2021 hotel bill, leading Dilara Kruse to join her instead.
• Contestants including Eva Benetatou and Walentina Doronina were shown smirking during Koc’s disclosure, and Koc later criticized their reactions; Maurice Dziwak questioned her sincerity.
• Koc says it still feels unusual for her to say “Papa,” though Snow now recognizes Jimi as her father and is pleased to have a dad like her peers.
• Joyn plans to premiere Yeliz & Jimi – We Are Family? on December 2, a series positioned to follow the family’s dynamics after their reconciliation.
