“Finely achieved” – Meinecke explains why Kieling was kicked out of the show before the start of 7 vs. Wild

earthpressnews

An incident occurred on the survival show “7 vs. Wild” before the start of season 3: 63-year-old Andreas Kieling was not allowed to take part in the season. The boss of the show, Fritz Meinecke, now explains what exactly happened there with the candidate “Monkey on Bike”.

This is what we knew so far:

  • The participants of the 3rd season of 7 vs. Wild are back from Canada and the first big news from the show was that the organizing team of the season announced the exclusion of documentary filmmaker Andreas Kieling (63).
  • It was said that the 63-year-old was eliminated during the preparatory phase due to an incident with a candidate. The candidate was Ann-Kathrin Bendixen, 40 years her junior, known as “Monkey on Bike”.
  • The first reaction on social media was for some users to attack the woman and send her hateful comments. However, participants in the show protected her. Twitch streamer Papaplatte said (via twitter) that what happened was “absolutely not fit.” It was the best and only right decision that Kieling was not allowed to participate.

    • Kieling denies the accusation

    Said Kieling: In a statement on the allegations, Kieling had his lawyer align (via t-online):

    “My client danced with Ann-Kathrin Bendixen during a bus stop on the way to filming in the gastro area of ​​a gas station in the greater Vancouver area, as did several other dance couples. The mood was exuberant in anticipation of the production.”

    According to the lawyer, however, at no time were borders crossed or encroached upon.

    Candidate shocked by hate messages

    The victim said: Ann-Kathrin Bendixen said (via derwesten) that she didn’t even know how to start normal life again after all the drama. She doesn’t know where up is where down. It’s crazy what our society makes of something like that.

    She is now the one you can’t even give a hand to without it being sexual harassment.

    The statement apparently came after the first very negative reactions on Twitter.

    Fritz Meinecke now says: The founder of the show, Fritz Meinecke, has now described the allegation more precisely (via twitter). Twitch streamer Papaplatte, who also attended the show, also commented.

    Bendixen and Kieling would have danced together, the woman was there in pajamas, a onesie, like Papaplatte added.

    Kieling grabbed her butt while dancing:

    But going for that ass almost instantaneously, that ass – we’re not talking about the hand slipping down that little bit easily. There was a really nice touch, there was a really fine touch, grabbed, squeezed.

    Meinecke says: At that moment, everyone involved was in an absolute state of shock.

    The candidate immediately resolved the situation and left.

    Women demanded that they no longer have to see Kieling – after further incidents

    Did other things happen? Meinecke says the incident at the gas station was not an isolated case. Kieling committed further border crossings:

  • So he asked the candidate Hannah Assil if she didn’t have “wet feet” in the cowboy boots and if they smelled too.
  • For minutes he talked to his partner Joey Kelley whether the teams were already set. He’d rather go out with Hannah, spend 14 days with “the girls.”
  • He asked Monkey on Bike if she had a boyfriend.

    • Bendixen and Assil approached the organizational team and said they no longer wanted to see Kieling during the project.

    Ultimately, the organizational team decided to remove Kieling from the project. That was the team’s decision. You also stand behind it.
