She has nothing to do with Nazis and right-wing extremists: the former RTL jungle queen and today's Mallorca singer Melanie Müller, 34, distanced herself from right-wing extremist statements during a performance in Leipzig.
In a video, Müller explained that she was "dismayed and outraged" by what happened at the booked September 17 performance.
»I would like to clearly distance myself from such people and ideas and I condemn them in the strongest possible terms.«
»Show canceled immediately«
During the performance, some viewers made statements with clearly right-wing extremist and National Socialist ideas, the singer emphasized.
She immediately pointed out that this was not to be done, and some people were then expelled from the marquee.
"When there were more such statements, I immediately stopped my performance and left the event."
On a video that can be seen on bild.de, however, you can see the singer listening to the "Sieg Heil" calls for a while and responding with the exclamation "Zickezacke, zickezacke, zickezacke".
The visitors shout »heil, heil, heil.«
The appearance now also has legal consequences.
A spokeswoman for the Leipzig police department said it was being investigated on suspicion of using license plates from unconstitutional organizations.
