Overview
- At a hearing on October 23 at Landgericht München I, the parties reached a settlement overseen by Judge Zeller.
- Producer Lilly Funder apologized and agreed to sign a cease-and-desist, pledging not to repeat the claim that Susanne Kellermann isolated Wepper.
- Widow Susanne Kellermann withdrew her €20,000 damages demand after receiving the apology.
- The case stemmed from Funder’s public accusation at the April 2024 funeral, where she seized the microphone and later repeated the claim to Bild.
- Kellermann told the court Wepper’s access was limited by severe illness, including a long coma in 2021–2022 and renewed hospitalization before his March 2024 death.
