Christian Wolf Under Fire for 'Face-Kicking' Remark to Critic

Distancing by his company plus his partner signals real reputational risk.

Overview

  • After neuroscientist Dr. Sophie Imhof criticized him, Wolf wrote that he would “gladly kick her in the face,” then called the phrasing “dumb” and denied urging real violence.
  • More Nutrition, the supplement brand he founded, said its 1,000+ employees do not stand behind the comment, and partner Romina Palm said she confronted him and he accepted the criticism.
  • Wolf then urged ex-partner Antonia Elena on Instagram to leave him and Romina alone, claiming she tried to damage his relationship.
  • Elena posted a loving tribute to new partner Fabian Müller that many read as a veiled rebuke, after earlier accusing Wolf of hypocrisy toward women who criticize him.
  • The rolling fight, driven by Instagram and TikTok posts, now bleeds into co-parenting and brand ties, raising personal and commercial stakes for those involved.
