The ad is about events during the Oktoberfest 2019: From Berlin, Kasia Lenhardt makes her way to Munich.

She is known from "Germany's Next Top Model" and has an on-off relationship with Jérôme Boateng, soccer world champion and then central defender at FC Bayern.

At this point the relationship is not yet public.

After their arrival, there is said to have been an argument with Jérôme Boateng.

While still in Munich, Kasia Lenhardt confides in one person in a chat that lasts hours.

In the first podcast episode we reconstruct what could have possibly happened during Oktoberfest.

We would also have liked to speak to Jérôme Boateng to get his side of the story and compare his perspective with our research.

Since 2021, Boateng has repeatedly rejected SPIEGEL's requests for interviews.

His lawyer tells us that many facts would have happened completely differently.

Your client attaches importance to the statement that he never physically attacked Kasia Lenhardt.
