Overview
- In the ninth episode of Prominent getrennt, Aleksandar Petrovic poured champagne on his ex-partner Vanessa Nwattu and smashed a glass at her feet, a scene that viewers called violent and dangerous.
- Vanessa Nwattu has said the TV confrontation left her emotionally shaken and with a scar on her leg that she still carries.
- Petrovic posted a lengthy Instagram video apology that said his behavior was "absolutely unmanly" and announced he would step back from reality TV, with the post drawing broad public criticism.
- Shortly after the apology went up, users noticed a caption that appeared to contain AI-generated editing guidance, a misstep that deepened doubts about the sincerity of his response.
- Reality figure Emmy Russ renewed earlier claims that Petrovic had behaved similarly in the past, and public calls for formal consequences and clearer on-set security or producer action have intensified.
