Günther Jauch, 66, moderator and tabloid press critic, is now also suing the Kaulitz brothers. The two former Tokio Hotel members Tom and Bill Kaulitz claimed in their podcast “Senf aus Hollywood” in February 2022 that they spent a night with Jauch through the Berlin club scene, surrounded by women. In the podcast “Feelings” by comedian Kurt Krömer, Jauch said: “If I can remember anything, it’s that I’ve never been to a techno club.” He would take legal action against the two and demand a reply. Personally, he doesn’t hold it against them that bad, said Jauch. It’s about the principle, about the publishers behind it, who spread such content.
