Patrick Romer Says Gil Ofarim Has Stayed Silent as RTL Admits On-Air Lapses

The remarks point to unresolved questions around the show's handling of the 'Davidstern' controversy.

Overview

  • Patrick Romer told KUKKSI at a DSDS premiere in Cologne, about eight weeks after the finale, that he has not heard from Dschungelcamp winner Gil Ofarim.
  • Romer said he was sad about the silence because they got along in the camp and he expected at least a short check-in.
  • He said he first saw Ofarim as a victim of the justice system but now views the past case more critically and wanted a clear admission that what happened was wrong.
  • RTL chief Stephan Schmitter told DWDL that one or two live shows let strong claims go unchecked and said facts should have been clarified during the broadcast.
  • The season crowned Ofarim as winner as the 'Davidstern' issue kept surfacing on air, driven by repeated questions from fellow contestant Ariel.
