The news of Elton's expulsion from ProSieben is still causing a stir. Jan Böhmermann expresses doubts about the official story of the chased TV presenter.
The background is obviously conflicts over Elton's appearances in formats of the competitor RTL. There are different versions about how the separation happened. Elton had moderated "Schlag den Star" for eight years. He was "really speechless, angry but above all extremely sad. I'm not even granted a farewell show after 23 years at ProS Sieben. Without words!!!," he continued in an Instagram post last Wednesday (April 10) Elton: "I only found out today after my management called the Pro7 boss to find out whether the rumors were true that I was no longer allowed to moderate Schlagden Star.'"
