earthpressnews

A new film about Garfield is starting in German cinemas this week. Now, however, the premiere is being overshadowed by allegations against a streamer. You can find out what Sony has to say about it here.

What allegations are there? Accusations against streamer Anissa “Anni The Duck” Baddour have been spreading online for a few days. In short, various sources accuse her of only appearing to be nice in public, but in real life she is an egomaniacal, toxic person who treats those around her badly and hates her fans.

  • The streamer Mowky spoke about her former friendship with Anni, from which she suffered greatly. She was manipulated and exploited and warns fans that they don’t know what kind of person they “worship.”
  • The streamer Antonia “Reved” Staab spoke up on Twitch and spoke about her previous relationship with Anni, describing it as the “darkest time” in her life. She is said to have been so emotionally affected that she now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder with muscle cramps and chronic headaches.
  • Both streamers also accuse Anni of mistreating her cats and treating them like toys. There are said to be videos on the Internet that confirm these allegations. In these you can also hear the streamer calling her cats “dirty pieces of shit”.

    What does this have to do with Garfield? The new film about the iconic orange cat is now overshadowed by the allegations against Anni. Because in this the streamer took on the dubbing of a supporting role. The film is scheduled to open in German cinemas on May 9, 2024.

    The recent allegations about the mistreatment of their cats don’t exactly make for good publicity for a film about a famous cat. Many viewers are now calling for a response to this situation. “If Anni isn’t taken out of the film, 50-60% fewer people in Germany will watch it, I hope you’re aware of that,” a user expressed his opinion under a Sony post on Instagram.

    Overall, many users write in their comments that they will no longer watch the film because of Anni. Other comments demand that Sony should react now. After all, they couldn’t have known about her behavior at the time of synchronization. “I really feel sorry for the other speakers that the scandal about Anni came to light today at the primary [sic]“ says another comment.

    How is Sony reacting now? Sony now responded to the situation in the Instagram post. However, they don’t have much to say about it yet. The post says:

    We are closely monitoring the latest allegations against Anni and are taking them very seriously. We are currently in close communication with management and are awaiting an official statement.

    It is not yet known when this official statement will be made public. There is also no statement yet as to whether the film should still be released in cinemas with Anni in her role. Some viewers want the parts with her removed or replaced.

    It remains to be seen whether Sony will take this route and therefore have to postpone the premiere or whether they will react to the situation differently. On the other hand, Sony must probably expect that some viewers may boycott the film.
