Overview
- In an RTL interview, Oliver Pocher said he never viewed the contested clip, though he was present and his children appear in it, adding the dispute with ex-partner Amira Aly involved physical contact he described as “we touched.”
- He claims Christian Düren threatened to circulate the footage if Pocher kept making jokes about him and links the fallout to canceled bookings such as Schlag den Star, other ProSieben projects, and scrapped tour plans with Luke Mockridge.
- Düren rejects the extortion allegation, telling the court he only discussed the video with his partner and then deleted it, with the case still moving through proceedings after an initial hearing in November 2025.
- Sandy Meyer-Wölden has exited the podcast Die Pochers! Frisch recycelt, and Pocher publicly criticized her Instagram farewell while hinting that her partner Alexander Müller influenced stalled negotiations; Meyer-Wölden said she was not allowed a farewell episode.
- Pietro Lombardi replaces Meyer-Wölden as co-host, is currently staying in Pocher’s basement flat, and recounted spending a night in his car because he had no key and did not want to wake the children, while admitting initial doubts about joining the show.
