Frauke Ludowig Interviews Gil Ofarim Days After Eye Surgery, Wearing Swarovski-Studded Patch

The interview fronts an RTL+ documentary released today on the Davidstern affair surrounding the new Dschungelkönig.

Overview

  • Ludowig said a new lens was implanted in her right eye and she must avoid makeup as the eye heals.
  • The procedure occurred earlier in the week, and she returned to work immediately but will now work from home for about two weeks.
  • She reported headaches after the taping and noted the difficulty of conducting an interview with vision from only one eye.
  • RTL confirmed the black eye patch she wore was decorated with small Swarovski stones.
  • The conversation appears in the documentary Der Fall Gil Ofarim on RTL+ from February 15, which revisits the controversy linked to his contested Dschungelkönig 2026 win.
