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. The news of Elton's expulsion from ProSieben spread like wildfire, and numerous stars supported the ousted presenter. But there are still some who doubt the 53-year-old's departure. The private broadcaster first announced Elon's departure as presenter of the primetime show 'Schlagden Star.' It was later announced that he was leaving the station completely after 23 years.
