Since 2004, I’m a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here! has quickly fought its way to the top of the reality TV world and enjoys a large number of loyal fans year after year. The 2014 season was particularly successful thanks to its cast and gave RTL the highest ratings in the show’s history. It is all the more sad that this gem of reality history was taken offline by the streaming service RTL+ in 2020. The reason for this was Michael Wendler, who threw around conspiracy theories during the Corona pandemic. Now the episodes from 10 years ago are available to stream again, which upsets some viewers – and not because of Wendler. The winner of the season is currently in court.
Handcuffs instead of a crown? Melanie Müller has to face serious accusations
In 2014, Melanie Müller had the audience on her side and was able to prevail against the other participants. The erotic model won the jungle crown ten years ago. Her participation in the format and the associated victory turned out to be a real career springboard for Müller. After the jungle, numerous TV appearances followed in shows such as Grill den Henssler, Goodbye Deutschland, Das große Backen – Promispezial, Promis unter Palmen and another victory in 2021 on Promi Big Brother. Melanie Müller enjoyed great popularity with the TV community, but that changed in the last few weeks and months. She repeatedly took part in controversial behavior and obscure slogans attracted attention. This was also the case in September 2022 when the TV starlet is said to have shown the Hitler salute several times during an appearance on stage. After a video of the allegations was made public, Melanie Müller denied all allegations. Müller was supposed to explain herself to the district court in Leipzig in mid-June for using the right-wing radical symbol. Due to illness, the party singer has already canceled two court dates, but was apparently fit enough to perform at Ballermann during them. The trial has now been postponed to the end of July and mid-August. If she does not show up there, there will be consequences.

“I will never watch RTL again”: Fans are outraged by the decision
RTL+ surprised the reality TV community on Instagram. For the 20th anniversary of the jungle camp, all seasons from 2011 are available to stream on the platform – including the deleted episodes with Michael Wendler. Many fans are absolutely thrilled that they can finally watch the best season of the cockroach show again. Others are rather critical of the re-release. While the broadcaster continues to distance itself from the pop singer’s opinions and actions, not a word about the behavior of Melanie Müller lost. RTL must now face criticism from fans. The comments say, among other things:
Why does RTL still offer Melanie Müller a platform after all the events of the last few months? A person like that should be cancelled. I will never watch RTL again if they continue to give people like Melanie Müller a public platform.
However, it is unlikely that the broadcaster will cancel the season again despite opposition.
