After a racist statement against the jungle candidate Linda Nobat, RTL threw “carpet slut” Janina Youssefian out of the show.
Early eviction: After a racist statement to candidate Linda Nobat, “carpet slut” Janina Youssefian had to leave the RTL “jungle camp” early on Monday.
The 39-year-old was escorted out of the camp by employees. Her participation contract had been terminated and she would start her journey home as soon as possible, RTL announced via Twitter. “RTL does not tolerate such behavior,” it said.
After surviving a jungle test together, Youssefian and Nobat got into a heated argument and insulted each other. In this context, Youssefian made racist remarks about Nobat. This was immediately criticized by the other campers: “It doesn’t work that way, something like that is no longer without consequences these days,” said Jasmin Herren, for example.
The 39-year-old tried to apologize to Nobat: “I’m sorry if that came across as racist. I did not mean it like that.” However, the former “Bachelor” candidate did not accept the apology.
