Sat1 has brought comedian and presenter Luke Mockridge back to the program. As the private broadcaster announced, its current stage program “A Way Back to Luckyland” will be switched to the program at short notice on Friday at 8:15 p.m. “We’re going to show a fresh program next Friday,” said a broadcaster. “Originally a repetition was planned”. The clip show 111 messy colleaguesin which 111 YouTube breakdown films are presented, has been postponed to 10 p.m.
Mockridge was successful at Sat1, among other things HATCH! The Great Night Show moderated. After the public prosecutor’s office had started investigations against the entertainer, the cooperation had been stopped until further notice. When asked, the broadcaster said: “Sat1 has never put a collaboration with Luke Mockridge on hold. The artist decided in 2021 to take a longer TV break. He communicated that in September 2021.” His former colleague and partner Ines Anioli reported rape to Mockridge after a birthday party. The public prosecutor’s office had dismissed the lawsuit in two instances, among other things because of discrepancies in Anioli’s statements and because it was considered possible that Anioli’s statements had been influenced by third parties.

The mirror nevertheless rolled up the case again in September 2021 under the title “The Mockridge Files”. As a reason, the magazine stated that it did not see Mockridge as “exonerated” by the investigations by the public prosecutor’s office and anonymously quoted several women who reported Mockridge’s bad behavior in nightlife. Significant parts of the text had to be deleted because of “inadmissible reporting of suspicions” after Mockridge had taken legal action against it. For the court, the article disregarded the principle of the presumption of innocence and violated Mockridge’s personal rights.
In the Süddeutsche Zeitung Mockridge’s lawyer, Simon Bergmann, said that for him it was “the most blatant case of inadmissible reporting of suspicions” that he had ever experienced. After a three-month stay in a psychiatric clinic, Mockridge told the SZ that it was clear to him that he had “little chance of being acquitted by the public”. On Friday he will now compete in the odds battle against the World Cup match between Argentina and the Netherlands.
